June birthstone jewelry selection is one of the most varied considering there are three stones to choose from! The month of June counts alexandrite, moonstone, and pearl as its birthstones.
Alexandrite (pictured above) is extremely rare and sought after, due to its remarkable ability to change color in different lighting situations.
Because it is one of the rarest gemstones, simulated stones are used in jewelry to provide an affordable option. Genuine alexandrite jewelry is priced well into 4 figures.

Moonstone has a pearly opaque look to it with color that can be either orange, pink, blue, purple, green, or brown in tone. This stone has a color variation to suit just about any taste. They usually have a milky look, although darker tones are available too.

The third and final birthstone for June is the classic choice of pearl. As you probably know, pearl is obtained from oysters and mussels; being a deposit of calcium carbonate that has built up in concentric layers.
We’ll be adding some pearl items to our site real soon so watch this space!
