June is Pearl Month! Each month of the calendar year is associated with a gemstone that represents unique character traits and personality. Birthstones have a long history and date back to biblical times. To see more about the birthstones associated with each month, click here. This ritual is often used for gift giving (especially in the jewelry industry) and symbolizes good luck and protection. Each birthstone represents different qualities and characteristics...the pearl symbolizes loyalty, faithfulness, friendship, and purity!

So let's learn a bit more about pearls... Pearls are unique, as they are the only birth gemstone that originates from living sea creatures and requires no polishing/finishing (iridescent by nature). There are many types of pearls; they come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. There are freshwater pearls, saltwater pearls, and synthetic (man-made) pearls, just to name a few. The most popular color for a pearl is a white to off-white color (sometimes referred to as cultura) but pearls can also be found in its natural shade of black, pink, and green!

We offer a variety of synthetic (man-made) pearls at www.harmanbeads.com and we thought it was appropriate to highlight them this month!
