June Birthstone -Pearl

Happy Birthday June Ladies!

June is the month that was dedicated by the Romans to the queen of the gods Juno (Regina) -- Hera to the Greeks. The modern June birthstone is the pearl. Pearls have been a passion and even an obsession of people throughout the ages. They have been ground up and used in cosmetics and as a medicine to treat heart and stomach conditions. Some cultures swear by pearls as an aphrodisiac. These gems have adorned crowns, clothing, and temples, and were said to be a favorite of Cleopatra.

Pearls continue to be viewed as a mark of taste and refinement as well as a symbol of beauty and purity. Pearls are the perfect gift, suitable for all ages, and elegantly worn with everything from jeans to an evening gown. Crystal Allure Beaded Jewelry Designs offers June birthstone earrings in both Swarovski Crystal Pearl and Light Amethyst Swarovski Crystal (the alternate Swarovski Crystal birthstone which is more affordable than Alexandrite, the traditional birthstone of June).

The June birth flower is the rose, or the honeysuckle, as roses and honeysuckles bloom throughout June. June is also sometimes called the "Rose month."

June is known for the large number of marriages that occur over the course of the month. With June being named after, Juno or Hera, the goddess of marriage and a married couple's household, some consider it good luck to be married in this month.

Pearl is also the suggested anniversary gift for the 30th wedding anniversary.
