About pearl and moonstone, the June birthstones
June is one of the months with two birthstones on the UK list: pearl and moonstone. Pearls are the only gems made by a living creature, formed slowly inside a shell, while moonstone is known for the soft, floating sheen that moves across its surface.
What do the June birthstones mean?
Pearls have long stood for purity, wisdom and calm, and are a traditional gift for milestones. Moonstone is linked with intuition and new beginnings. Both suit someone with a gentle, thoughtful nature.
Choosing June birthstone jewellery
Our own Argento June pieces use freshwater pearls, and you'll also find Pandora and Nomination charms, Karma bangles and pink-toned Claddagh designs. Add the June rose with our birth flower jewellery, or make it personal with our engravable birthstone jewellery.
Caring for your June jewellery
Pearls are delicate, so put them on last, after perfume, hairspray and make-up, and take them off before swimming or bathing. Wipe them with a soft, slightly damp cloth after wearing and store them flat, away from harder pieces that could scratch them.
