Birthstones
June's birthstone is Pearl
Pearls are renowned for their captivating luster, which arises from their layered structure and light interference phenomena. This phenomenon, known as iridescence, gives Pearls a shimmering play of colours, making them appear to glow from within.
Pearls come in a mesmerizing array of colours, including white, cream, pink, silver, and black. The colour of a Pearl depends on the type of mollusk that produces it and the environment in which it forms. Each Pearl possesses its own unique combination of hues, lending them an individual charm.

Pearls have long been associated with elegance, purity, and femininity. They are often regarded as symbols of wisdom, harmony, and love. Pearls have adorned jewellery and clothing throughout history, signifying luxury and grace.
Pearls hold a special place in history and culture. Ancient civilisations such as the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks revered pearls for their beauty and rarity. Pearls were treasured as symbols of wealth and power, adorning royalty and aristocracy. In many cultures, Pearls were believed to bring good fortune and protect against negative energy.
To maintain the beauty and luster of Pearls, it is important to handle them with care. Pearls are relatively soft and can be easily scratched or damaged by chemicals, cosmetics, or excessive heat. It is advisable to store pearls separately from other jewellery and gently wipe them with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils or residues.
