June is a month of light, softness and transformation – so it’s no wonder that those born in June are gifted not just one, but two beautiful birthstones to choose from: pearl and moonstone. Each gem brings its own unique energy and style, offering something for every personality and life path.
At Jenti Forest Jewellery, we work with both of these extraordinary stones, crafting meaningful, handcrafted pieces that reflect your story, your style, and the natural beauty that surrounds us.
Let’s dive into the world of these timeless gems and explore why they continue to enchant generation after generation.
Pearl: The Classic Beauty of the Sea
Revered for centuries, pearls are often called the Queen of Gems. They symbolise purity, wisdom, and emotional clarity, making them a perfect gift for life milestones – birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, or simply to celebrate your own evolution.
Unlike most gemstones, pearls are organic, formed by living oysters beneath the sea’s surface. That connection to water gives them an innate softness and serenity that’s both grounding and graceful.
At Jenti Forest Jewellery, we love to pair freshwater and baroque pearls with raw metals and natural textures, creating pieces that feel contemporary yet timeless.
Whether it’s a single elegant pearl suspended from a delicate chain, or an edgy asymmetrical pearl ring, our jewellery is anything but ordinary.
Types of Pearls
When choosing your pearl jewellery, it helps to understand the different varieties:
Freshwater Pearls – Known for their soft glow and affordability, these are ideal for modern, wearable designs.
Akoya Pearls – Classic and perfectly round, often seen in traditional strands.
South Sea Pearls – Larger and rarer, with a creamy white or golden hue.
Tahitian Pearls – Unique black or dark green colours, often bold and mysterious.
Each type brings its own charm, and when custom-designed, your jewellery can truly reflect your story and personality.
Moonstone: A Glimmer of Intuition and Light
Where pearls offer calm and elegance, moonstone invites us into the mystical. Known as the stone of new beginnings, moonstone reflects intuition, emotional balance, and the gentle pull of the moon on our inner tides.
Moonstone’s soft shimmer – known as adularescence – creates a dreamy glow that seems to move with the light. It's a gem for the dreamers, the empaths, the wild hearts, and that’s exactly why it speaks to so many people.
We adore working with rainbow, peach, and grey moonstones, crafting rings, earrings, and pendants that are rich in symbolism and individuality.
Moonstone’s Colours and Varieties
While moonstones are best known for their icy blue-white shimmer, they can also appear in peach, grey, and rainbow tones, each with its own quiet magic.
Rainbow Moonstone – Translucent with flashes of blue, green, and sometimes pink.
Peach Moonstone – Warm, soft and grounding.
Grey Moonstone – Moody and elegant with a subtle gleam.
Each colour brings a different energy and mood, and we love incorporating them into bespoke designs to reflect your personality and journey.
Which One is Right for You?
Whether you’re drawn to the lustrous elegance of pearl or the spiritual glow of moonstone, both are beautiful choices to honour your June birth or to gift someone with a deeply meaningful keepsake.
Some of our clients even combine the two in one design – layering feminine wisdom with mystical energy and creating something completely unique.
If you’re looking for a handmade, ethically sourced, and soul-led piece of jewellery, we’d love to help bring your vision to life.
