June Birthstone
Pearl
with the Moonstone · Purity, wisdom & calm
June’s birthstone is the pearl, with the moonstone as its luminous companion. Unlike other gems, the pearl is born inside a living creature, which made it a symbol of purity and quiet wisdom long before it was set in jewellery.
What it means
The pearl is read as a stone of purity, wisdom and calm — a treasure formed slowly and gently, standing for patience and inner grace. The moonstone was read as a charm of intuition and new beginnings, its glow shifting like the moon itself.
