June – Pearl (The 2020 Birthstone Collection)

June – Pearl

 

A pearl is an organic material made by a living organism known as a mollusk. When the mollusk gets a tiny seed caught in its shell, it takes protective measures to coat the particle with a material known as nacre. Unlike other gemstones, pearls require no cutting or polishing to reveal their beauty.

 

Just like snowflakes, no two pearls are alike.

 

Birthstones are not only fun and nostalgic, but throughout our lives they serve as a beautiful reminder of the month when we were born. The history behind birthstones is fascinating, with origins that date back to the Old Testament and Aaron’s breastplate, which featured 12 gemstones that represented the 12 tribes of Israel.

 

Over time, the 12 gems eventually became associated with the zodiac. Then, in 1912, the National Association of Jewelers established the modern list of birthstones we know today.
