The traditional June Birthstone has two gemstones in its category.

Pearl

Pearl is the most popular form of June Birthstone.

Most pearls available are Cultured Pearls. These come in a variety of shapes and colours.  The best examples have a high lustre, as a result  giving them a beautiful almost iridescent shimmer.

Mythology of Pearls

Pearls are held to symbolise success, happiness and love. This  therefore makes them the most popular choice for wedding jewellery.

Moonstone is a form of Feldspar with an inner structure that bends light. This gives the characteristic shimmering light to the gem. They are found in a variety of colours. First of all, and also the most well known is Rainbow Moonstone. In addition it is available in White, Grey, and finally Peach.
