Amanda’s Style File: June’s Treasures from the Sea
Amanda Gizzi highlights her favorite June birthstone: pearls.
June has three birthstone options: pearls, moonstone and alexandrite. Pearls are the most classic June birthstone and with so many incredible pieces of pearl jewelry currently available in the market, this Amanda’s Style File must be dedicated simply to pearls.
For decades, pearls have been a style accessory. In the past, pearls were used to formalize attire and were the must-have accessory for a woman wanting to look powerful and successful. Simple pearl strands were in every jewelry box and were a staple at weddings.
