June's stones, the Elyzian way
Birthstones tend to be predictable. June isn't. Pearl, all opacity and warmth. Moonstone, all surface and shimmer. We pick them the same way we pick everything: if it doesn't look like candy, it doesn't make the cut. Each chosen for the kind of light it holds.
About Pearl. Pearl is the only gem grown, not cut. Ours are selected for luster, that deep layered glow separating a real pearl from a paint-by-numbers one, and set in 14k and 18k gold. Pearl is soft (a Mohs 2.5 to 4), which means it wants a little care and rewards a lifetime of wear. Best for everyday with intention. Best for gifts the wearer keeps forever.
About Moonstone. Moonstone holds a different kind of light. The good ones show adularescence, that blueish watery sheen that drifts across the surface as you turn the piece. Sourced from a small set of suppliers we've worked with for years. Harder than pearl (Mohs 6 to 6.5) and built for daily wear. Striking enough that it never reads as everyday.
About Alexandrite. A color-changing rarity that shifts from green in daylight to raspberry in lamplight, and one of the scarcest fine-jewelry gems on the market. When one passes our test, it'll appear here. Until then, it's a stone worth knowing about.
Set as drops, charms, and one-of-a-kind pendants. For your own June, or to mark someone else's. If you have something specific in mind, our team is a message away.
