Born in June
The Birthstones for June are Pearl, Alexandrite and Moonstone, symbols of Health and Longevity. Pearl is the traditional gift for the 30th wedding anniversary, as well as, the modern gift for the 12th and 80th wedding anniversaries.
Scientifically, this is how a Pearl is created. When an irritant, such as a small parasite or a fish lodges in the flesh of an oyster, mussel, or clam, a protective substance called "nacre" is produced. Over years, layer upon layer of shimmering nacre coats the intruder, creating a lustrous pearl. Natural pearls are relatively rare, so a process evolved in which a piece of shell or bead was placed inside a mollusk to stimulate the production of nacre. This results in a cultured pearl, which accounts for about 90 per cent of the pearl industry.
Jewelry designers are having a heyday, creating sexy, playful jewelry that’s trendy and casual enough for a summer day on our table today.
When shopping for Pearl, luster and size are important. Luster is the shine factor. You should almost see a rainbow of colors coming off top. You would not be able to see the luster but it definitely shines. The bigger the pearl, the bigger the price-tag. Just 1 mm can up a pearl’s price 100 per cent.
