Amanda’s Style File: Three Gems for June
Those born in June have a myriad of options for their birthstone jewelry.

All gemstones aren’t equal. They are deeply personal. The colors, shapes, sizes, mystical qualities, and even their ties to birth months are all factors that lead people to fall in love with different stones. They sing differently to everyone.
June has three birthstones, giving incredible options for those lucky enough to celebrate this month.
The most famous of these birthstones is pearl. Pearls are surging in popularity, and all varieties and price points are fair game.
Alexandrite is a gem collector’s dream stone, and the color change makes for a fun story.
Moonstone is the third birthstone option. The stone’s silky color paired with flashes of light make it a great stone for designers to create a piece around.
Selecting a favorite birthstone might be an impossible task. However, falling for these pieces of jewelry is an easy one.
