June Birthstone Jewellery – FAQs
What is the gemstone for June and why does June have 3 birthstones?
June features three birthstones: Pearl, Moonstone, and Alexandrite. While the ancient, traditional birthstone for june is the organic pearl, the modern jewellery industry later introduced moonstone and alexandrite. This was done to provide consumers with a broader variety of price points, styles, and color choices, blending historic luxury with modern versatility.
What color is the June birthstone and why are white gemstones associated with it?
June gems offer a diverse color palette. Pearls are classically creamy white; moonstones range from translucent white with a blue sheen to striking black and multi-colored rainbow moonstones; and alexandrite changes color from green in daylight to purplish-red under artificial light. The classic white gemstones (pearl and moonstone) are associated with June due to ancient folklore linking their glowing appearance to midsummer light, purity, and lunar cycles.
