What is the June birthstone?
Glad you asked!

LET'S TALK PEARL...
Did you know pearls are the only gemstone that comes from a live, little creature?
Mussels, Clams and Oysters form pearls as a defense mechanism - a natural pearl (often called an Oriental pearl ) is formed when an irritant like a grain of sand works its way into them, then releases a fluid to coat the irritation.
As the layers continues during the years, a lustrous pearl is formed.

They are a beautiful example of how wonderful and creative nature is, and they are also iconic!
In Coco Chanel's own words “Lace is one of the most wonderful imitations of nature. But pearls are perfect for every occasion.”
What do they Symbolize?
Because they are rare, precious and valuable, they are a status symbol and 'must have' for royals and influentials to this day.

A Symbol Of Wisdom And Purity
👉The pearl is a symbol of perfection and incorruptibility; a symbol of good fortune, fertility and long life.
👉It is also often considered a MOON symbol because of its luster.
👉Buried within the OYSTER shell, the pearl represents hidden knowledge, and the phrase “pearls of wisdom” stems from that.
How to style your pearls?
Because they are elegant, timeless and versatile, pearls can be incorporated into any style or outfit for day or night! Be creative, wear them on their own, a single statement earring or layers and layers for a statement look.
