The June Birthstone Guide: 3 Stylish Pearl Jewelry Gifts She'll Love

Finding the perfect gift for someone you love can become a difficult task. Read on for pearl jewelry gift ideas that'll bring joy to any woman born in the month of June.

The June Birthstone Guide: 3 Stylish Pearl Jewelry Gifts She'll Love

Formed within the heart of an oyster or mollusk, the pearl is a prized stone unlike any other.

Usually taking on a pale white or bluish-gray color this subtle yet elegant stone fits seamlessly as a centerpiece for any earring, necklace, or bracelet. The pearl is also known as the birthstone for June, and would make a perfect choice for any friend, family member or loved one born during this summer month.

Continue reading to learn everything about the June birthstone, the pearl, and how you can find a mind-blowing pearl jewelry gift for someone you love.

The Characteristics of the Pearl

Pearls are considered rare and valuable stones, and are comparable in value to other high-quality gemstones and even diamonds. Pearls are typically created by a parasite entering an oyster, clam or mussel. In response, the mollusk forms a coat of fluid to surround the irritant, also known as nacre. Over time this protective coating piles up, and the pearl is formed.

Pearls are also formed through unnatural means as well. One synthetic way of creating a pearl is to insert an irritant into a mussel shell surgically. While artificially made, these pearls can still be incredibly valuable. This process is called culturing, and it can take 3 years to craft a suitable pearl. However, sometimes this process can be rushed, lowering the quality of the pearl.

Alternatively, you can also create a pearl through a process known as imitation. In this procedure, a glass bead is exposed to a solution that is based on fish scales. These "imitation" pearls are incredibly low in quality and can wear off over time.

Picking out the right pearl jewelry can all depend on the quality of the pearl, and as such, it is crucial that you ask about where the pearl came from before putting money down on a purchase.
