The Significance of June’s Birthstone, the Pearl
June birthstone is the pearl, highlighting a pearl’s timeless beauty, treasured by women of all ages. The ancients of the Middle East conceived of pearls as teardrops from heaven. The Chinese fancied that pearls came from a dragon’s brain. Christopher Columbus and his contemporaries thought that molluscs formed pearls from dew drops.
The History of Sustainable Pearl Cultivation
A pearl is born naturally from a mother oyster as she covers an irritant with nacre. In 1888, the Japanese began sustainably reproducing Akoya oysters in Ise Shima. In 1906, 8 short years later, a method to produce perfectly round pearls had been developed, a practice later to be shared with the world.
The Significance of Pearls for June Weddings
So it has been said that the June birthstone represents “sweet simplicity.” As such, pearls were traditionally given as wedding gifts. June was traditionally the most popular month to marry in Japan and several countries and cultures. The reason is that the Ancient Roman Goddess Juno – for whom the month of June is named – was the protector of women in all aspects of life. Especially in marriage and childbearing, so a wedding in Juno’s month of June was considered most auspicious.
The Timeless Elegance and Symbolism of Pearls
The pearl birthstone is also thought to have beneficial properties. In ancient times, pearls were said to bestow long life and prosperity. In Asia, pearls were believed to help alleviate indigestion and haemorrhages and have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine over the centuries.
The ancients described pearls in rare terms like “Mermaid Tears” and “Moon Dewdrops.” In that early era, technology was not available to cut and polish gemstones like diamonds. Pearls, however, were intrinsically and naturally beautiful without human intervention. This helps explain peoples’ long-term love affair with pearls and their reasons for valuing them highly.
Nothing Quite Like a Pearl
Pearls are the only living gemstone, born in nature, cultivated with peoples’ love and devotion. Each pearl is unique. No two pearls are exactly alike. All pearl jewellery shares a common origin, as the ‘children’ of mother oysters. Once cultivated, artists and designers devote much time and focus to crafting jewellery from those pearls. Like all luxury jewellery, pearls have a unique timelessness—sharing pearl jewellery with loved ones who may ultimately share the jewellery with future generations. Pearl jewellery uniquely expresses the human bond of love shared through time.
1.Pearl earring studs
Need we say more? Always age appropriate and often the very first gemstone a woman receives. Perfection day or night, pearl jewellery is modern in its clean geometry, yet timeless in its understated luxe.
2.Pearl necklaces
Elegance personified. Without question, a pearl necklace is the traditional gift commemorating a wedding, a graduation, a christening or really any life moment. It is an instant heirloom.
3.Pearl pendant necklaces
What is more beautiful than a simple single pearl on a delicate chain? Enhanced with a sparkling diamond, wrapped with golden wire or set in platinum, a pearl nestled in the hollow of your neck is a lustrous focal point.
4.Pearl rings
Prior to the modern technique to culture pearls in the early nineteen century, pearls were rare and expensive. Today, there are pearl jewelry to fit virtually any budget. Pearl rings can be slim and stackable, edgy and multi-finger, or a brillant south sea pearl in a hammered metal setting. A pearl ring becomes a symbol of purity and love.
5.Pearl bracelets
The lustrous pearls are strung together on a delicate chain, creating a beautiful contrast between the smoothness of the pearls and the intricacy of the metalwork. Whether worn alone or stacked with other bracelets, our pearl bracelet is a versatile accessory that can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion.
