Pearl and Diamond Pendant

Pearls are a unique gemstone - one of the only precious gems to come out of the sea, rather than out of the ground, and with a gorgeous combination of shimmer and opacity, rather than transparency.

Pearls have been a symbol of wealth and class for so long, and while the methods for creating pearl jewelry may have changed, the delicious feeling of elegance that they impart certainly hasn’t! We look at a new breed of pearl jewellery, mixing up the feel of pearls with affordable prices for June born fillies.

Tahitian Black Pearl and Diamond Pendant

The soft and delicate white colour of pearls is one of the reasons that they are favoured. This glorious genuine high quality pearl and diamond white gold pendant will make your June-born girl feel like a princess everyday!

While white pearls and white gold certainly create a classical look, there are plenty more options for pearls nowadays. Pearl technology allows jewellers to create a fabulous, rainbow coloured variety of pearls … then skilled designers make pieces like the purple pearl and tanzanite bubble earrings at right from them!

The purple freshwater pearls are set on 14ct yellow gold, and the center of the flower contains a tanzanite stone. These earrings are actually part of the Pandora matching jewellery collection, which uses purple pearls and tanzanite in a drop necklace, and tanzanites in a ring, charm, and stud earrings.

Despite the high white shine that blue accents create for a white background, there are actually relatively few pieces that incorporate the two colors. The blue topaz and pearl earrings at right are a lovely example, with their blue-sky-and-cloud colouration. With blue tones 14ct white gold, these earrings are suited for all skin types.

The filigree cross pendant at right is a great example of how pearls can either be used in a classical, or postmodern rock-style. Crosses are one of the hottest looks in jewelry right now, so whether your June born girl enjoys the traditional symbolism, or the ‘nowness’ of cross design jewelry, this pearl adorned piece is a great choice. The 3mm cultured lake pearls are sweet and dainty, and the 14ct white gold base is suitable for all different skin types.

One of the unique features of pearls as opposed to other gemstones that we love to see celebrated is their source - from the water rather than the earth. This pearl ring does a great job, with the gem set on a rollicking wave of yellow gold. The band is 14ct metal, extremely durable while still being affordable, and the pearl is actually quite large for ring use, at 6.75mm. While the band is only 2mm wide, it feels quite solid with a heavy half round shaping.

Black pearls are one of the most luxurious and decadent types of jewellery within the pearl range for June birthdays. Fortunately this one is very affordable. At 41cm long, it is shorter than most necklaces, creating a choker effect, and the pearls composing the necklace are 7-7.5mm specimens.

Despite the fact that cultured fresh water black pearls have made the broad category of black pearl jewellery less expensive, the natural black pearls (usually found off the Tahitian coast) that are found nowadays are just as valuable as they once were. Perhaps more so, as pearling restrictions become tighter.

This genuine Tahitian pearl necklace is a gorgeous luxury item, with a wonderful cool, steely colour to the gem. It is set on 18ct white gold, along with several brilliant cut diamonds.

There are pearl jewellery options for every girl’s taste, and every gifter’s budget, all available in the pearl jewellery pages! The Pandora range offers amazingly coloured pearls along with accent gemstones and a specific style and quality level. Look to freshwater pearls for affordable options, and Tahitian or South Sea pearls for ultimate luxury.
