Why Pearl Is Our Preferred Birthstone for June

If your loved one has a birthday in June and you’re considering jewellery as a gift, then Pearl, Moonstone and Alexandrite are the three birthstone options you can consider. But we’d recommend you choose pearls. Here’s why.

(For more information about the other birthstones of June, click here.)

Affordable

Fashionable Investment

British Royal Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, have a particular pair of hanging pearl earrings which she seems to favor, wearing them on several different occasions.

Variety

When it comes to pearls, there is no reason why you should be limited in choice. Not only can you choose between a massive variety of Pearl bracelets online Timeless Pearl, but the range extends far and wide in terms of the style of jewellery and even the size of the pearls.

Why Pearls Are the Perfect Graduation Gift

Graduation is a big day for anyone. It’s when you celebrate an achievement that has come from the efforts you’ve put in over years. In a way, it’s like the moment the pearl farmer opens an oyster to see what has come from months of waiting – making pearls the perfect gift for someone’s graduation.

Pearls are the only jewels that are made organically, over time, by a living organism. There’s nothing that carries weight like a string of heirloom pearls – in a glance, it says power, resilience, and grit. Real Pearl Jewelry one of the oldest forms Timeless Pearl and though pearl farming has made pearls easier to come by, they are still formed in the same way: through the perseverance of a single, tiny organism which can’t even move itself around. If that’s not inspiring, we don’t know what is!

Here are four attributes associated with pearls which make them even more worthy as a graduation gift.

Perseverance and grit

Nothing says perseverance like the mollusk working patiently to try and rid itself of the bead, grain of sand or tissue inserted inside it – only for a shiny, lustrous pearl to emerge. A single pearl itself is enough to say that if you’re willing to put in the work, something beautiful will emerge.

Power and wealth

For centuries, it was only the wealthy that got to wear pearls – kings used to wear ropes of pearls as a mark of wealth. Today, if you walk into a boardroom wearing a string of statement pearls, it does exactly that: make a statement.

Style

Audrey Hepburn. Marilyn Monroe. And now also present-day celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna and the incredibly stylish Olsen twins – they’ve all been seen with iconic strings of pearls.

Growth

From a small grain of sand or tissue grows a strong, beautiful jewel, symbolizing that no matter who or what you are, you can grow into something bigger and better than yourself.  

Want to gift a pearl to someone graduating? Choose from these styles on special and get 20% off until 5 May 2018.

Here are the colors that will steal the show this spring according to the fashion industry experts – and how to wear them with pearls. Because nothing is as stylish as a timeless piece of pearl jewelry.

Pastels and Pearls

Lavender, soft pink, sky blue and mint green pastels had a solid spot in most of the top fashion ranges. It looks as though designers are making use of the feminine feel of pastels and pairing it with striking color blocking and edgy jewelry and makeup, such as a very red lip. We think these pieces will go perfectly with the new trend:

Wear This Year’s Pantone Ultra Violet with Pearls

The Pantone Color of the Year for 2018 has just been announced: Pantone UltraViolet.

“Inventive and imaginative, Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come,” says Pantone.com.  

It couldn’t be more fitting to a fairly new technology in freshwater pearl farming: Edison Pearls. These unusual beauties come in all sorts of colors: pink, bronze, peach, gold, champagne and… purple. Or in Pantone world, UltraViolet.

The purple Edison pearls are exquisite, ranging from light to deep purple. They really embody the dramatic, provocative, thoughtful and complex character of UltraViolet. A brooch, bracelet or necklace in this unusual shade will make anyone look twice.

High Quality At An Affordable Price

Edison pearls are the highest quality pearl you can find at an affordable price. They are made when pearl farmers place around bead inside a mussel, creating a perfectly round and unblemished pearl. Unlike the freshwater pearls of old, which used to be characterized by their odd, uneven shapes, Edison pearls are in fact so near perfect that they are compared to South Sea pearls in size, smoothness and luster.

And due to the freshwater environment, which makes it easier to regulate the water quality, they are much more affordable. This means that you could get an almost perfect pearl – in a rare color too – at a price much lower than you would have paid for a South Sea or Tahitian pearl.

Why Are They Called Edison Pearls? 

The unique history of the name of the Edison pearls makes them even more fitting to Pantone UltraViolet. Edison Pearls were first introduced to the market by Grace Pearls, a Chinese company run by Zhan Weijian. It came after years and years of research, and their methods are still guarded closely today. So while Ultra Violet lights the way to come (as Pantone.com describes it), Edison Pearls are, according to a New York Times interview with Weijian, “emblematic of the growing scientific and technological sophistication of Chinese pearl making.”

When asked where the name ‘Edison Pearls’ comes from, Weijian quoted the famous inventor Thomas Edison, who said: “There are two things which couldn’t be made at my laboratory – diamonds and pearls.” It’s believed Edison said this upon meeting Mikimoto Kokichi, a Japanese inventor credited with the creation of the first cultured pearl.

There’s no doubt about the timeless beauty and style of pearls. They’ve been worn since the most ancient of times, and they still are. (Decades later, women still marvel at the stylish figure Audrey Hepburn made in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s in that luxurious pearl necklace with several strings of perfect pearls.)

So what better way to wear this year’s Pantone Color of the Year than in Edison pearls? It’s the new, innovative and high-quality pearl now available to the everyday woman, and their innovation – like the color – makes you wonder about what is yet to come in the timeless world of pearl jewelry.
