Mikimoto Wind Earrings
June’s birthstone is the pearl. Pearls are unique as a gemstone because they are made by living creatures. When grit or sand gets inside a marine mollusk, like an oyster or a clam, the mollusk secrets nacre, or a natural coating to protect itself from the intrusion.

This nacre builds over the grit and becomes a pearl. Man has discovered that he can cause the creation of pearls by inserting the grit himself, and even control the shape of the formed pearl by selecting the shape of the intrusive grit. Natural pearls are generally more valuable than the manufactured ones, called cultured pearls. Pearls can appear in several shapes or colors, including white, pink, black, and even green or blue.

Pearl jewelry is a great gift because the color and texture of the stone often enhances the wearer’s skin tone. Many fine jewelry designers, including Yvel, Honora and Mikimoto specialize in creating lovely pearl necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings.
