June Pearl Alexandrite Moonstone

7 July 2025 • 3 min read

Of all the birthstones, the pearl holds an unusually privileged place in high jewellery. Pearl is June’s most traditional birthstone, not excavated from the ground but nurtured in the ocean—created by nature herself through patience, time, and refinement.

With its subtle lustre and timeless beauty, the pearl continues to symbolize purity, wisdom, and inner strength.

While crystalline gemstones have a material beauty, pearls convey an organic loveliness of soft whispers that speak of inner peace, emotional balance, and spiritual wisdom.

Beloved of ancient civilizations from China to Rome, pearls were initially prized as gods’ tears or the droplets of moonlight which had fallen into the sea.

Symbolizing purity and innocence, pearls are often given to mark turning points in personal growth—whether that is a passing birthday, bridal journey, or new chapter of life.

They’re naturally associated with femininity, intuition, and emotional wisdom—so they prove to be an incredibly powerful symbol for women who are marking significant milestones.

Pearls are so versatile in fine jewelry, offering both classic charm and contemporary sophistication.

At Ernesto Buono Fine Jewellery, we often recommend them for: Bridal sets – Their symbolism and warm glow make them a natural for wedding-day earrings, necklaces, or mother-to-daughter gifts, Drop earrings – Paired with diamonds or coloured gemstones, pearls offer a refined profile that flatters every face, Multi-strand necklaces – Reminiscent of old-school glamour, these pieces offer a timeless appearance, especially when crafted in creamy ivory or pale blush tones.

While white pearls remain most popular, cultured pearls now come in a range of colours—from silvery grey and champagne to pink and golden—allowing subtle personalisation.

Natural pearls are no longer common today and normally are only found in high-end vintage or antique jewelry.

Cultured pearls, on the other hand, are the standard in current fine jewelry today. The best-quality cultured pearls—available in countries like Japan (Akoya), Tahiti, and Australia (South Sea)—are highly prized for their high-quality lustre, smooth texture, and spherical shape.

Here at Ernesto Buono, we obtain pearls with incredible nacre and luster, accepting only the most refined examples to utilize in our one-of-a-kind designs. You might be seeking an heirloom-quality strand or a streamlined pearl pendant that floats against the skin, but every item is carefully tailored with timeless consideration to detail and accuracy.

Pearls are more than jewellery—they’re badges of elegance, of intelligence, and of quiet assurance.

For a person born in June or for anyone who enjoys refined sophistication, a custom pearl item creates a sense of connection to the ocean, history, and self.
