The June birthstone is often said to be Alexandrite, one of the rarest and most expensive gemstones on earth, but we prefer its more affordable, equally elegant counterpart, the pearl. There is a rainbow of beautiful pearls available, and we chose a classic, elegant cultured seed pearl in a traditional creamy white color. Pearls are associated with nurturing, calm, integrity and femininity.

Each pearl cluster pendant is made by hand and is as different as each pearl included. Cultured pearls used in this necklace are naturally smooth to the touch and randomly dropped into place so your necklace is one of a kind. The pendant is sealed with clear resin with some pearls protruding through.

Pendants measure about 1/2 inch and are available in lead-free pewter plated with .999 fine silver in a bright finish or antiqued 24kt gold plated onto lead-free pewter. Chains are available in 18 inches or 20 inches. Please see last photo to compare lengths on a model before selecting. Silver chains are sterling silver, twisted rope chains. Gold chains are gold-filled cable chains.

Each necklace may also be personalized with up to 3 letters in a small circle. Please see second-to-last-photo for an example of a gemstone necklace that has been personalized (featured picture is not pearl). Personalized circles are either solid brass or solid polished aluminum. Some great personalized ideas include monograms, initials, or the word “mom.”

Please allow up to 8 days for your necklace to ship. These necklaces take some time to create and must be made in batches and given 3 days to completely cure. They are made to order.

Birthstone cluster necklaces are made by hand at Bang-Up Betty’s North Little Rock, Arkansas, studio.
