June Birthstone Earrings, Necklaces and Bracelets
June has more than one birthstone: pearl, moonstone and, on some lists, alexandrite.
The National Association of Jewellers lists pearl and moonstone, and the American Gem Society adds alexandrite. Each of the three looks quite different. Moonstone has a glow that seems to drift across its surface as the stone moves, and alexandrite is green in daylight but turns red under lamplight. Pearl is a soft gem and is best kept away from perfume and hairspray, so it is worth putting on after both.
The month also has two birth flowers, the rose and the honeysuckle, and June birthdays fall under two star signs: Gemini up to 21 June and Cancer from about 22 June. June birthstone jewellery can be a birthday gift for someone born in the month, or a way to mark something personal to the person who wears it.
The collection includes pearl stud and drop earrings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets, as well as rose and honeysuckle birth-flower pieces. The pearls come in shades such as white, pink, grey and black, and the metals include sterling silver, gold plate and solid gold.
