Amanda’s Style File: Pearl Perfection
Whether their style is classic or more avant-garde, jewelry lovers born in June can find a pearl piece that’s perfect for them.
These pearl and diamond earrings from jewelry brand Mason and Books ($4,750) are among the 17 pieces in this Amanda’s Style File celebrating June’s birthstone, the pearl.
“Timeless” and “classic” are two of the primary adjectives used to describe pearls and pearl jewelry.
While those are still accurate, we are seeing more and more pearl jewelry that can be described as fun, fashion-forward, versatile, and exquisite.
South Sea and Tahitian pearls continue to be coveted for their size and luster, but pearl perfection isn’t always required, as many pearls are being celebrated for their unique shapes.
As the official birthstone for June, pearls will always be a wonderful gift for those celebrating their birthdays this month. And, with men and women both wearing pearls, there are plenty of different gift-giving styles out there for everyone.
Here are a few Amanda’s Style File selects to enjoy.
