Perfect Pearls – The June Birthstone

Pearls have
been highly prized for millennia, due to their lustre, rarity and organic
composition. Pearls are formed inside
molluscs when an irritant, often a grain of sand, works its way into the
shell. The creature covers the irritant
with layers of nacre, a fluid produced by the oyster, mussel or clam which
keeps the inside of the shell smooth.
Pearls symbolise purity, harmony and humility and have long been
associated with wealth and glamour. They
are also the birthstone for June, and what better time of year to wear these
beautiful natural stones?
We have a
wide range of pearl jewellery as it is also traditional for weddings and
special occasions, so those of us lucky enough to be born in June have a wealth
of designs to choose from. Our Purity
and Vintage birthstone collections both have pearl options, and these are both
very wearable and versatile – pearls go with anything and can be worn at any
time of the day or night. The Purity
earrings are a simple option, but our freshwater pearls don't need much
adornment to shine out and with a classic pearl stud you can't go wrong. The Vintage collection has a modern looking
mount which beautifully frames the pearls and draws the light towards the
central stone to make the most of its natural beauty.
If you prefer
the pared down look of the Purity earrings then the Full Moon collection is
also right up your street. The design is
sleek and elegant, but the pearls are larger for a more dramatic impact. This set would be a lovely birthday gift, but
equally each piece is gorgeous enough to be a gift in its own right. As pearl jewellery is ideal for weddings this
set also makes a great option to give a bride-to-be, even if you don't know what
the dress will look like because these pearl pieces will work with anything.
If you like
the styling of the Vintage collection then you'll love our Catch A Star range. Central pearls are surrounded by dazzling
little cubic zirconia which draw even more light and reflect it for a stunning
effect. This range comprises a necklace,
earrings and a ring which make a gorgeous ensemble for a special occasion, or
worn as separate pieces for a more casual look.
The wonderful thing about pearls is that they will look fantastic with
any style and any colour thanks to their timeless glamour.
For something
with a vintage twist our Retro necklace is perfect. The filigree styling and tiny cubic zirconia
adornments give off a really traditional feel – this piece could have been
passed down the generations. A teardrop
shaped pearl dangles from the bottom of the pendant, while an 8mm large round
pearl nestles in the centre. Four
smaller pearls complement the main stone and the design beautifully, and the
whole pendant is 5cm long which makes quite a statement for a wedding or
another special occasion where you want to make lasting memories. This necklace will make you feel special on
the day, bringing back those treasured experiences every time you wear it.
Lastly, a new
addition to the pearl collection is these Tassel earrings (a matching necklace
is also available). These pretty, modern
earrings are ideal for a birthday gift or to go with a sleek wedding look. Sterling silver chains cascade from the pearl
stud, with cubic zirconia at the end of each chain to mimic a waterfall. There's so much on these earrings to catch
the light, and with a beautiful up-do these earrings will accentuate your neck
and draw many admiring glances.
If you're
looking for some birthstone jewellery to give a meaningful and thoughtful gift
our range has something for every style and every budget, so take a look and pick
out some perfect pearls.
