June is one of those rare months that recognizes two birthstones. For centuries, the sparkling beauty of a strand of pearls has been used for adornment. The ancient Greeks thought that wearing pearls would promote marital bliss and prevent newlywed women from weeping. The pearl signifies wisdom, wealth, faith, knowledge, and innocence.

Pearls come in a range of colors which include sparkling white, slightly pink, golden tones, grey, and black.
