June Birthstones- Moonstone & Pearl
June girls, you get two of the prettiest stones on the calendar, and we are not exaggerating. Pearl and moonstone are both having such a moment right now, and honestly, they never really stop having a moment for us.
Pearl: Faith & Charity
Pearls have always carried the meaning of faith and charity, and we think that's part of why they feel so timeless. There's something quiet about a pearl. It's confident without trying. You can throw them on with a t-shirt and feel pulled together, or wear them to a wedding and still feel fabulous.
In our minds, pearls are always in style. Every jewelry collection needs at least one pearl piece in it, and honestly we'd argue for more than one.
Moonstone: New Beginnings
Rainbow moonstone and grey moonstone are both June birthstones. Rainbow moonstone brings a neutral, milky shimmer with rainbow flashes that goes with absolutely everything you're already wearing. Grey moonstone is uniquely glowing, yet subdued. It's not something you see every day, and it is one of our most elegant gemstones. It goes with almost everything. Two different neutral tones, which means you can layer them or pick the one that feels more "you."
Moonstone is the stone of new beginnings, which is part of why it's so perfect for June. School ends. Summer starts. Big moves, big chapters, fresh anything.
Why We Love Them in Summer
Nothing looks better with breezy white pants and a flowy dress than pearl or moonstone. It's the soft glow. It's the way the light catches them. Summer was made for these two stones.
The Graduation Gift Conversation
If you're shopping for a graduate this year, June lined up beautifully for you.
For the high school grad heading to college: Moonstone, hands down. The new beginnings stone for the biggest new beginning of her life so far. The Mini Rock Nest Ring at $123 lands right in the gift-perfect $100 to $200 range and is substantial enough to feel like a real "you did it" moment.
For the college grad starting her first real job: Pearl. Every time. She's about to need foundational pieces she can wear to interviews, first days, and meetings she didn't see coming. Pearl is the staple that never lets her down. A great go-to in any jewelry collection, and the Petite Rock Necklace at $78 is the one we'd start her wardrobe with.
Under $100 grad gift idea: Our Mini Rock Threaders in Moonstone are $48. New beginnings symbolism without overspending. A sweet little hello-to-the-next-chapter gesture, perfect for a friend's daughter, a niece, or your favorite graduate's best friend.
