June Birthstone

June has two birthstones: Pearl and Alexandrite

Pearl is one of the only organic gemstones

From the Latin perna, meaning “leg” (inspired by the shell shape of some mollusks), pearls have symbolized purity and elegance for millennia. Unlike other gemstones, pearls are organic, formed naturally inside oysters and mollusks. They’ve been adored in ancient Rome, worn by royalty, and cherished as heirlooms. Found in waters from Japan to Tahiti, pearls range from classic white to exotic golden and black. Their soft luster flatters all skin tones, making them perfect for necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and timeless bridal jewelry.

Alexandrite changes color in different lighting

Discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains in the 1830s and named after Tsar Alexander II, alexandrite is famous for its dramatic color change, which can be green in daylight, and then red or purplish-red under incandescent light. This optical magic makes it one of the rarest and most valuable gemstones in the world. Now also found in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and East Africa, alexandrite symbolizes luck, creativity, and balance. Its striking transformation captivates in rings, pendants, and fine statement pieces, making it an extraordinary choice for June birthdays.
