Pearls, Alexandrite,
Moonstone, are the birthstones for the month of June.
Pearls are considered as the gem of modesty and purity.
Pearls bring good luck, money, friendship, and courage.
Pearls are formed inside mollusks such as oysters and
mussels. There are different types of pearls like: Natural,
Cultured, Biwa, Baroque and more.
Moonstone belongs to the family of fieldspars. Moonstone
brings good luck and balances the yin and yang. According to
legend Moonstone will ensure abundant crops. Moonstone color
ranges from white to blue, gray and peach.
Alexandrite is considered for good luck. The gem displays
two colors, green by day and red in the night hence it is
called emerald by day and ruby by night.
Let us combine all three qualities of the gemstone and
create a project for this month. Here is a sample project in
which I have combined the two qualities, gem of modesty &
purity that is the pearls with the striking gem moonstone
that balances the yin & yang. The result is, a beautiful
necklace & earring set made with Moonstone and Pearls.

1 silver Clasp , Flexible beading wire (softlex),
Jumprings,chain extenders, 1 pair Ear wires, Head pins, few

finish it with the crimping bead and the extender chain.
Similarly to the other end add a clasp and finish it with
