You lucky ducky girls who are born in June are lucky enough to have three birthstones! {Pearl ♥ Moonstone ♥ Alexandrite} While I obviously love pearls (I get to play with pearls every single day - lucky me), I also have a great appreciation for all three of the sparkly, stunning June birthstones.
Moonstone is a semi-transparent stone, and I think it is definitely one of the best at capturing light in the most beautiful way. It gives off a milky white light that can also include little flashes of blue when the light hits it just right. Moonstone often looks as if it has a little bit of a glow to it.

It's easy to see how the stone got its name; moonstone seems to have captured the stunning light of the moon. In ancient Rome, people used to believe that you could identify the different phases of the moon within moonstone. While we don't believe that the stone physically changes appearance with the moon's phases anymore, it certainly does have an ethereal, almost otherworldly appearance.

When it is micro-faceted into the beautiful little gemstones I use in my jewelry designs, it plays with the light beautifully. I love pairing it with silver and pearls as the moonstone seems to throw light against the other surfaces of the pieces. It's so much fun to turn moonstone jewelry to different angles and see how it changes as it catches the light.
If you're on the lookout for the most traditional June birthstone, pearl is your girl. I absolutely adore creating pearl birthstone jewelry for all the lovely June birthday babies! The pearls I use are genuine cultured freshwater pearls in a luscious creamy white color, natural pink, and sometimes I even have some peachy or lavender pearls available.

Alexandrite has a controversial history that started all the way back in 1834 in Imperial Russia. While a miner was working in an emerald mine, he came across a gem that he thought was an emerald, but once he held it up to the light, he realized it was something new entirely. It flashed different colors depending on the light. It is fabled that the stone got its name from Alexander II because it was discovered on his birthday.

The Russian mines were exhausted in the early 20th century leaving almost a century until a new deposit was discovered, this time in Brazil. Natural Alexandrite is extremely rare, and incredibly expensive. So, in my jewelry creations, I use genuine Swarvoski Austrian crystals in the pale lavender of Alexandrite, so she can celebrate her June birthday without the crazy price tag! Not to mention, because they are represented with a crystal, they are extra sparkly!
