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 strand is made by hand and is as different as each cultured seed pearl included. Pearls are strung on wire, making between a 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 inch length of stones.

Chains are gold-filled or sterling silver and measure approximately 17 inches long including the length of stones. Longer or shorter chains are available upon request.

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