June’s Birthstone Jewelry: Top Picks
Were you born in the month of June? Then you have a choice of three intriguing birthstones: pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite.
You may be less familiar with the last option, and if so, you wouldn’t be alone. Alexandrite is one of the rarest gemstones you’ll find – and one of the most expensive.
Still, pearl and moonstone are equally as gorgeous, and complementary for any complexion. With pearl’s connection to the sea and moonstone’s to the sky, these two gems are utterly enchanting. Best of all, you’ll find them in a wide range of styles ranging from simple and elegant to bold and statement-making.
I’ve selected my top picks for June’s birthstone jewelry. Enjoy!
