About Pearl — The June Birthstone
Pearl is fundamentally different from every other birthstone. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are formed in the earth under geological processes. Pearls are formed inside living oysters and molluscs — layers of nacre building up around an irritant over months to years. At Mohs 2.5–4.5, pearl is the softest birthstone, requiring specific care to maintain its lustre. Its softness is what gives it its characteristic warm glow (called orient) and creamy texture.
Pearl is associated with purity, wisdom, and feminine grace across cultures. It is the traditional 3rd and 30th wedding anniversary stone and the most universally appropriate Mother’s Day gemstone.
June Has Three Birthstones
June is one of only three months with multiple birthstones. Pearl is the primary and most traditional. Moonstone — a feldspar mineral with a distinctive adularescence (inner glow) — is associated with intuition, balance, and new beginnings. Alexandrite — a rare colour-changing chrysoberyl that appears green in daylight and red in incandescent light — is associated with luck, creativity, and transformation. Our collection focuses primarily on pearl designs in 925 sterling silver.
Freshwater Pearls vs Shell Pearls
Freshwater pearls are genuine biological pearls — formed by a living mussel with layers of real nacre. They have a natural organic quality, slight variations in shape and surface, and the genuine warmth of a real pearl. Shell pearls are made from the nacre layer of oyster shells, shaped into perfect spheres — not biological pearls, but made from the same nacre material. More durable for daily wear, perfectly round, consistently sized. Both types are in this collection. Each product page specifies which type is used.

About Pearl
Q: Is pearl suitable for everyday wear?
A: Pearl earrings and pendants are suitable for daily wear with care. At Mohs 2.5–4.5, pearl is the softest birthstone. Pearls are the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wearing.
Q: What is the difference between freshwater pearls and shell pearls?
A: Freshwater pearls are genuine biological pearls formed by living mussels with real nacre. Shell pearls are made from oyster shell nacre shaped into spheres — more durable, perfectly round, consistently sized. Both are in this collection. Each product page specifies which type.
Q: How is pearl different from other birthstones?
A: Pearl is the only birthstone not mined from the earth. Every other birthstone is formed through geological processes. Pearl is formed by a living creature, making it unique in material, character, and care requirements.
Q: Why should I avoid perfume and chemicals with pearls?
A: Pearl’s nacre surface is sensitive to acids and chemicals. Perfume, hairspray, and lotions can dull pearl’s lustre over time. Apply perfume and hairspray before putting on pearl jewellery, not after.
