Classic June Birthstone Jewelry


If you are looking to purchase birthstone jewelry for someone born in June, you have a choice to make, as the June Birthstone is both alexandrite and pearl! Pearls are a classic and stylish fashion statement, and Kranich’s carries them in a variety of colors. This June birthstone is an organic gemstone, created when an oyster covers a foreign object with layers of a substance called 'nacre'. Hundreds of years ago, this June birthstone was an important financial asset, comparable to real estate, since thousands of oysters had to be searched to find one pearl.

The other June birthstone, alexandrite, is named after the Russian tsar Alexander II. Alexandrite was first discovered in April 1834 in mines in the Urals on the day the future tsar came of age. Since this unique color-changing gemstone shows both red and green, the colors of old Imperial Russia, it became the country’s national stone for that time.

Until it could be made in labs, stunning alexandrite was very rare and hardly ever used in jewelry. The most remarkable feature of this June birthstone is its ability to change color. Alexandrite is green or bluish-green in day light, and turns a shade of red or purplish-red in indoor lighting. With its high ranking of 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, this June birthstone is uncomplicated to wear.

Alexandrite is considered a gemstone of good omen. It is said to strengthen the intuition of those who wear it, and help her find new ways to deal with situations where logic does not give an answer. This June birthstone has also been said to aid the imagination. Whether you choose alexandrite or pearl, either June birthstone will prove a wonderful gift for the one you love.
