June Birthstone Jewelry · Pearl
Pearl
Born from the sea. Our June birthstone jewelry brings together genuine freshwater pearls and the soft glow of alexandrite and moonstone, on waterproof gold made for summer and every day after.
Pearl, Alexandrite and Moonstone, the June Birthstones
June is the only month with three birthstones, and all three seem to hold a little bit of magic. The pearl is a gift from the sea, formed slowly inside a shell. Alexandrite is a rare stone known for changing color with the light. And moonstone glows softly from within, like moonlight on calm water on a summer night.
Our June birthstone jewelry brings them together on waterproof gold: genuine freshwater pearl necklaces, bracelets and earrings, and personalized pieces in the soft color of alexandrite. Made for the first long days of summer, and for every day after.
The Story of the Pearl
The pearl is the oldest gem in the world, and the only one created by a living creature. Long before people learned to cut stones, they were diving for pearls along the coasts of the Persian Gulf, India and Japan. Ancient legends said pearls were tears of the gods, or drops of moonlight that had fallen into the ocean and been caught by an oyster. For centuries they were so rare that only queens and empresses could wear them.
Each freshwater pearl is unique, with its own shape, glow and tiny imperfections that make it real. For June, the month when summer begins and the sea calls, there could be no better birthstone.
Alexandrite and Moonstone
Alexandrite is a much younger stone. It was discovered in the nineteenth century in the Ural Mountains of Russia, and it became famous for a rare quality: it seems to change color depending on the light, from soft green in daylight to a warm purple-pink by candlelight. Moonstone, on the other hand, has been loved since ancient Rome, where people believed it was made of frozen moonlight. Its gentle, milky shimmer has long been associated with dreams, intuition and new beginnings.
What the June Birthstones Symbolize
Pearls have always been a symbol of purity, wisdom and loyalty, which is why they are so often worn by brides and passed down from mother to daughter. Alexandrite is linked with joy, balance and good fortune, a reminder that we can adapt to every season. Moonstone is the stone of intuition and calm. Together, they make June a month of softness and light.
How to Wear Your June Birthstone
A freshwater pearl choker or a baroque pearl pendant is the most timeless way to wear June, beautiful on bare summer skin and elegant with a winter knit. Pearl studs and hoops are perfect every day, and a pearl bracelet adds softness to a stack of gold chains. If you prefer a colored stone, choose a personalized birthstone piece in the soft tone of alexandrite, and mix it with the stones of your loved ones.
