How to Choose Your June Birthstone
-
Pearl: check the lustre
Good pearls have a sharp, mirror-like shine and a clean surface. Natural Basra pearls are rare; cultured pearls are the everyday choice.
-
Alexandrite: test the colour change
A strong, clear switch from green to red drives the value. At 8.5 Mohs, alexandrite is great for rings.
-
Gentle care for pearl and moonstone
Wipe pearls with a soft cloth and put them on after perfume. Clean moonstone with warm soapy water. Skip ultrasonic cleaners for both.
