June Birthstones |
Many people know pearls are a June birthstone, but did you know alexandrite also represents the month of June?
One of alexandrite's most fascinating qualities is its ability to change color, appearing bluish-green in daylight and reddish-purple in the evening.
Naturally mined alexandrite is exceptionally rare and expensive, costing as much as $10,000 and more per carat. As a result, most alexandrite on the market today is lab-created. These stones are still considered "real" because they share the same chemical and physical characteristics as mined alexandrite.
A lovely way to celebrate your birth month is with a sterling silver and pearl pendant necklace filled with elegance and movement. Six luminous white freshwater pearls, ranging in size from 6mm to 10mm, come together to create this versatile and eye-catching pearl cluster pendant.
I always like to show coordinating earrings with my pendants. They don't need to be matchy-matchy, but they should relate to one another and still stand beautifully on their own. These pearl cluster earrings echo the pendant's design, though they're not constructed in exactly the same way.
Alexandrite at its finest - an 8mm faceted lab-created stone nestled in a graceful bezel setting -is suspended from a hammered sterling silver open teardrop. One of alexandrite's most fascinating qualities is its ability to change color with the light, appearing bluish-green in daylight and purplish-red in the evening.
This pendant makes a perfect June birthday gift and is also associated with the traditional 55th wedding anniversary. Whatever the occasion, it is a beautiful way to celebrate life's special moments or simply a lovely gift to yourself.
Why not add these alexandrite dangle earrings to your wish list? Featuring 5mm faceted lab-created stones totaling approximately 1.25 carats, they are suspended from torch-reticulated sterling silver discs that add texture and sparkle. While they coordinate beautifully with the pendant above, they are equally eye-catching worn on their own.
Two beautiful choices for June. Which one do you prefer?
