Prized since ancient times for their rarity, purity and naturally creamy colour, few and far between are the women who wouldn’t willingly add pearl jewellery to their collection. Said to bring love, luck and wisdom, June’s birthstone is also a favourite among jewellers thanks to its versatility and the wide variety of shades, shapes and sizes available. Whether she favours a classic round cultured design or a contemporary spin using coloured or baroque stones, here’s our guide to the best pearl birthstone jewellery for June birthdays.
Chaumet Josephine Aigrette pearl head ornament
Admittedly, everyday life doesn’t often present the opportunity to wear a design that lays somewhere between an ornate Alice band and full-blown tiara but, when said head ornament is as beautiful as this one by Chaumet, we’re sure she’ll find a reason. Crafted in white gold and set with Akoya cultured pearls and brilliant cut diamonds, this is a piece that will be treasured for generations.
Annoushka seed pearl bracelet
If she’s a fan of dainty jewellery, pearls may not often be her first choice thanks to their natural tendency to come in much larger sizes than other stones. The masters over at Annoushka, however, have sourced delicate seed pearls in peach, pink and cream to create this light and elegant hand-threaded double-row bracelet.
Olivia & Pearl Tahitian pearl hoop earrings
Thanks to their natural size and texture, pearls are an incredibly versatile stone for jewellers to work with, allowing for creativity that stones such as diamonds and emeralds can’t offer. This doesn’t mean, however, that they can’t also offer the kind of colour contrasts of subterranean stones. Take, for example, these Tahitian pearl hoops from pearl specialist Olivia & Pearl. Combining the sophisticated creamy grey of AAA+ grade pearls with the flattering hue of pink gold they’re a surefire winner.
Mejuri bold pearl necklace
A fabulously contemporary take on the timeless row of pearls, Mejuri’s oversized statement cultured stones are interspersed with 18 karat gold vermeil beads for extra glamour. Sitting elegantly at the base of the neck, this is the ideal piece for dressing up a plain T-shirt or adding a bold element to your everyday layering stack.
Loquet pearl locket
Loquet’s range of customisable lockets make for brilliant gifts as, thanks to the brand’s huge range of charms and stones, they can be added to at every special occasion and birthday. Start simple with a timeless yellow gold locket and single pearl charm and let her build her dream piece of jewellery from there.
Cece Jewellery Clam & Pearl necklace
Huge strings of pearls aren’t for everyone but, presented with the right piece, we’re convinced everyone is a pearl personal at heart. Cece Jewellery’s unique take on the pendant necklace sees a subtle central pearl adorned with diamond stars and a hand-painted enamel clam in an eye-catching riff on heirloom jewels and traditional fairytales.
Poppy Finch pearl ring
If you’re buying for a June birthday girl whose tastes run a little more contemporary, the good news is that pearls are the ultimate in versatile embellishment. This unusual yellow gold ring by Poppy Finch deploys nine miniature pearls which delicately wrap around the finger on a 14 karat gold spiral band.
Sophie Bille Brahe Petit Peggy pearl necklace
It may look timeless and elegant but this is not your grandmother’s row of pearls. Subtly updated by Danish designer Sophie Bille Brahe, a row of petite freshwater pearls is contrasted against larger beads designed to sit delicately at the side of the neck. A deceivingly simple design twist that brings this jewellery box staple into the 21st century.
