Pearl – one of June’s birthstones – is perhaps the best-loved gem of all time. Natural pearls sometimes form when an irritant enters a mollusk. The mollusk secretes layers of an iridescent substance, called nacre, to surround the irritant. These layers break up light in a way that creates pearl’s unique luster and orient. Natural pearls are rare, but today, cultured pearls are farmed in large quantities in many countries around the world. The most popular pearl types include: South Sea, Tahitian, akoya and freshwater.

Emerald is the perfect birthstone for spring. To many ancient cultures, its lush green symbolized fertility and rebirth. The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, and emeralds were beloved by many powerful rulers, especially Cleopatra. This gem tends to contain many inclusions and is often oiled or fracture-filled. This means emerald jewelry should never be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner, which can remove the oil and even cause damage. Some connoisseurs believe that inclusions give emeralds a lush look. That’s why emerald inclusions sometimes are called ‘jardin’ or ‘garden’ in French. Learn more here: https://www.gia.edu/emerald
