The birth flower of those born in August is the Poppy. This bright, delicate perennial has a long history that dates back to 4100 BCE. Symbolic of wealth, success, and pleasure, the poppy was also used after WWI in reverence to the armed forces lost during wartime. Our August Flower of the Month Pendant in sterling silver is etched with mini poppies and accompanied by a round cut Peridot, the August birthstone. A tiny diamond charm hangs effortlessly from the chain.
