A Gift from the Ocean: June’s Pearl
A gemstone with a long-standing link to love and protection, pearls are one of nature’s most precious creations and represent June as its birthstone.
With a distinctive iridescence, pearls have been loved and worn for centuries, often passed down through generations and gifted for weddings and special occasions. Pearl jewellery has stood the test of time as the ideal gemstone to add polish to any outfit and the perfect gift for those born in June.
The first mention of pearls dates back to a Chinese historian in 2206BC, and they have been associated with the magical mystery of Earth’s oceans ever since. In Ancient China, pearls were worn as amulets to protect from fire-breathing dragons, thought to have magical protective properties and in Ancient Greece, they were believed to be the tears of the Gods. Today, pearls are often seen adorning brides and stylish women, their timeless lustre as popular now as they have always been.
Here at Kiki McDonough, pearls have been one of our staple gemstones for nearly forty years, loved by Kiki for their tendency to illuminate the skin and add a lustrous glow. We always use freshwater cultured pearls, therefore their shape and colour may vary from the image shown. All pearls are unique due to their creation and have characteristics that add to their individuality and charm.
These pearl and diamond ribbon earrings in 18ct white gold launched earlier this year and are a striking accessory for a wedding or black-tie event, the sparkling diamonds a perfect complement to the pearls lustre.
