The Pearl: Simple Perfection, Profound Wisdom
The Pearl is June’s birthstone! The most perfect Pearls are cherished for their natural roundness and smoothness – a flawless quality that is rarely found in nature. Even more remarkably, Pearls are the only organic birthstone on the calendar because they come from a living organism instead of coming from a mineral formation, which is inorganic material. It is believed that Pearls represent wisdom, purity, and a perfect balance within oneself. This makes them a very suitable symbol for the month of June.
Pearl Making: Nature’s Masterpiece
Pearls organically form inside of living mollusks (typically oysters) when there is a secretion of a nacre from the mollusk as a result of irritants entering the shell. When this process occurs naturally without human intervention, they are called Natural Pearls. If there is some responsible intervention from humans, the Pearls are called Cultured Pearls. Natural Pearls are often seen as more valuable because they are a phenomenon, but Cultured Pearls have made the gemstone more sustainable and increased varieties of colors, shapes, and other characteristics.
Pearl History: The World's Finest Muse
Throughout history, the Pearl has been celebrated and adorned in different ways. It gained notoriety during ancient times as a symbol of wealth and power, often gifted to royalty. In some cultures, it also has a superstitious meaning and folklore involving weddings and prosperity. Across all time periods and cultures though, regardless of spiritual or religious belief, it has always been marveled at as a luxurious gem and beautifully incorporated into fashion and embellishments.
