“If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.” No other stone depicts love and innocence in the manner that the June Birthstone does. The pearl embodies that of a sophisticated and timeless elegance. Pearls are often associated with wisdom, integrity, purity, wealth, fidelity and friendship.
The color of the pearl correlates with the type of mussel or oyster that it comes from:
South sea pearls = rich gold hues
Akoya Pearls = rich blue color
Tahitian pearl = mysteriously brilliant natural black pearls
Persian Gulf pearls = some of the finest natural pearls
Baroque pearls = irregularly shaped pearls
In Ancient times it was believed that pearls were tears of the gods above.
