Pearl is the birthstone for June, symbolizing the meaning of preciousness, happiness and health. It is one of the favorite gems of the British royal family. The English name of Pearl is from the Latin “Pernulo”. And the other name Margarite is from the ancient Persian Sanskrit, which means "son of the sea". Pearls, amber and coral are known as the three major organic gems.

Pearls are grown in mussels. When foreign objects enter the mantle of the mussels, it stimulates the mussels and unable to remove them, so they secrete calcium carbonate and mother of pearl to coat them. It secreted about 3 - 4 times a day, and the thickness of each time is only 0.5 microns. It takes at least two years to form a pearl, which is precious.

There are many types of pearls, so that have an enormous difference in their price. In general, seawater will produce fewer pearls than freshwater. Wild pearls are more expensive than cultured pearls. The roundness, luster, and size also affect the price. Pearl sizing are according to their diameter in millimeters. The common ones are 6.5 - 7.5 mm, and above 8.0 mm is less. The price is high, so we need to do more research before buying. In addition to being the guardian stone of June, the pearl is also a commemorative stone for the 30th wedding anniversary. The language of the gem is perfection and innocence. Wishing the birthday stars in June all success!
