Choosing a June Birthstone Gift

Think about what the recipient already wears. White pearls are the safest classic choice. Pink or lavender Freshwater pearls are softer and more individual, while dark Tahitian and golden South Sea pearls suit someone who prefers stronger color. An adjustable necklace is useful when you are unsure about length.

Comparing Pearl Types

Akoya pearls are known for a bright, traditional appearance. Freshwater pearls offer the widest variety of shapes and soft colors. Tahitian pearls are naturally dark, often with green, silver, blue, or peacock overtones. White and Golden South Sea pearls are usually larger and have a more substantial presence.

What to Look For

Luster is the first quality to notice: the pearl should look bright, with clear reflections. Also consider surface quality, shape, color, size, nacre, and matching. Put pearl jewelry on after perfume and cosmetics, wipe it gently after wear, and store it away from diamonds and other hard gemstones.
