HISTORY OF THE JUNE BIRTHSTONES

The very rare alexandrite gemstone was first discovered in 1834 in the Ural Mountains and changes colour from blueish green in fluorescent light to a purplish-red in incandescent light. This shift happens as a result of an uncommon chemical composition allowing the stone to be one of the most expensive and rare birthstones. Pearls are the only gemstone which are made by living creatures; mollusks. Natural pearls, the most valuable pearls, are confined to the Persian Gulf waters, freshwater cultured pearls come from China, and south sea pearls are cultured along the northwestern coastline of the Philippines, Indonesia, and Australia.

A DELICATE POP OF COLOUR

Alexandrite is such a rare gemstone and is considered more valuable than most gems, allowing many jewellers to substitute a light amethyst as an accepted match. The gem is a light violet variety of quartz. Such a gentle gemstone makes a perfect gift to give to a loved one. What better way to celebrate one’s month of birth, than with an intricate keepsake that includes their name and birthstone and of all their loved ones, as well. The Mum Birthstone necklace makes a delightful treasure. With its heart shaped pendant and radiant gemstones, one may carry those who are dearest to them next to their heart, while sparkling with their own light amethyst gemstone.

MEANINGS OF THE JUNE BIRTHSTONES

The alexandrite gemstone represents concentration and learning and is believed to inspire imagination and strengthen intuition. It also is considered to be a stone of good omen; bringing luck and good fortune. The stone ignites romance, bringing joy to people with too much self-discipline. Ancients from the Middle East believed that pearls were teardrops fallen from heaven that represent innocence, humility, and purity. It is believed that one who wears pearls will be blessed with health and wisdom, including prosperity and life, improving eyesight, and easing depression.
