August brings with it two powerful zodiac signs—Leo and Virgo. While each sign has its own distinct personality, both share a deep connection to purpose, presence, and personal style. At Martin Busch Jewelers, we love helping customers choose jewelry that doesn’t just sparkle—it speaks to who they are.
Whether you're shopping for a loved one or treating yourself, here's how the stars align when it comes to August’s zodiac signs and jewelry inspiration.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Symbol: The Lion
Element: Fire
Ruling Planet: The Sun
Personality: Bold, passionate, loyal, confident
Leos are natural leaders. They love the spotlight, radiate charisma, and often gravitate toward styles that command attention. Their jewelry should feel just as bold as their personality.
Jewelry for Leos:
-
Statement pieces – think chunky gold chains, cocktail rings, or oversized hoops
-
Sun motifs – symbolic of their ruling planet
-
Layered looks – because more is more for a Leo
-
Personalized charms – like their initials or zodiac symbol to show pride
Pair with: August’s birthstone Peridot, which glows with warm, vibrant energy—just like a Leo.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Symbol: The Virgin
Element: Earth
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Personality: Practical, thoughtful, elegant, detail-oriented
Virgos are known for their quiet strength and refined taste. They’re all about meaningful details, timeless design, and jewelry that feels as intentional as they are.
Jewelry for Virgos:
-
Minimalist fine jewelry – slim stacking rings, petite pendants, classic gold bands
-
Clean lines and symmetry – pieces with structure and balance
-
Engravable pieces – personalized messages, birth dates, or coordinates
-
Nature-inspired designs – reflecting Virgo’s earthy, nurturing side
Pair with: A dainty Peridot necklace or a Sardonyx bracelet for something symbolic, subtle, and powerful.
