June Birthstone - Pearl & Alexandrite Jewelry

June birthstone jewelry features the beauty of pearls and alexandrite. Pearl is one of the most glamorous stones you can wear. It instantly recalls Old Hollywood divas, like Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Pearl symbolizes purity and modesty. While white pearls are the most well-known, there are pearls in other colors as well, like black, pink, blue and gold.

Alexandrite is a valuable variety of the mineral chrysoberyl and one of the rarest gemstones in the world. It has a green or blue hue in daylight, but it changes to purple under incandescent lights. This attractive stone symbolizes luck, prosperity and wealth. Legend has it that alexandrite can unlock the crown chakra, which connects humans with the divine.

At Helzberg Diamonds, you'll find a wide variety of pearl jewelry to celebrate a loved one who was born in June. Pearls can enhance any skin tone and complement many outfits for different occasions. Minimal pearl bracelets or stud earrings work well with everyday outfits and business attire, brightening your skin tone without overpowering your look. Alexandrite is a smart choice for those special occasions where you want to look at your best. A little black dress will help the color change effect of the stone to stand out.

Celebrate birthdays and other special June dates with the selection of gorgeous pearl and alexandrite jewelry at Helzberg.

Birthstones are gems and other minerals that are associated with a month. This is a tradition that dates back to Biblical times, and through history it was customary to wear the stone associated with the current month during that time, then switch to the next birthstone during the next month. In addition, this was before stones could be identified as precisely as they can be today, so the identities of some of the original stones are unknown. It's only in the last century that the current list has been standard, and since then, it has been more appropriate to wear your birthstone all year 'round.
