The most rare of gemstones is the Alexandrite and this is the birthstone for June. Natural Alexandrite is so rare that its value far exceeds that of the finest grade diamonds. We offer synthetic or "laboratory grown" Alexandrite which has the same color changing properties and beauty of the real gem stone, but at a fraction of the price.

Of course for those of you who still go for the pearl for June... you will find a nice variety in genuine and synthetic pearl designs from which to choose.

Genuine pearls are formed by a small grain of sand entering the shell of a Mollusk which causes an irritant to the sea animal. To get rid of the irritant the Mollusk begins forming a nacre around the grain of sand, to smooth out the roughness of the grain.

A natural pearl would cost thousands of dollars because man didn't interfere with the Mollusk. When man creates a pearl bed with thousands of Mollusks, the cultured Pearl is created. A cultured Pearl is made by purposely introducing the grain of sand (or nacre producing agent) into the Mollusk.

Jewelers often refer to saltwater pearls as Oriental pearls and those produced by freshwater Mollusks as Freshwater pearls. We offer a matching accessory... such as necklace, bracelet or earrings... that you may purchase to complete the entire jewelry ensemble.
