Traditional birthstone for June is the Pearl. June brides adore the pearl, and so will you once you learn about the pearl's special attributes! Contemplate and cherish this Old Poem on the pearl~
"Who comes with summer to this earth
And owes to June her hour of birth
A pearl should wear against her skin
Who's innocence many a heart shall win."
I simply love pearls.
They can make any day brighter, and pearl earrings will certainly brighten the eyes, try it and see! The pearl represents purity and beauty, every bride should at least wear this jewel from the sea on her special day.
Pearls as we know do come in different shades, this exotic South Sea pearl shown above has an opalescence to its overall sheen.
Pearls are the only form of fine jewelry that come from the sea, they are slowly cultured over time in the mollusk shell. You can also find them in shallow streams and creeks in certain areas of the United States as the Chesapeake Bay.
'The world is your oyster!'

And of course, Tiffany pearls, so gorgeous!
This is the Tiffany Aria Bracelet, round cultured pearls with triad diamonds set in platinum. Something new for the June bride. 7" long. 15,000 USD.
And also remember the Moonstone, June's other traditional birthstone (besides alexandrite too!), actually found on 60% of the entire planet Earth's crust. Be mysterious in moonstone~
