The Asians believe pearls aid indigestion and haemorrhage.

This classic, timeless jewel is long associated with sweetness, purity, integrity, innocence and humility. They are believed to bless the wearer with longevity and prosperity. Due to its pearlescent lustre and an impressive array of sizes & colours, this gemstone sits beautifully in almost every piece of jewellery.

Alexandrite is a rare gemstone that changes its colour in different lighting. Often described as Emerald by day, ruby by night, Alexandrite bursts into a range of different hues i.e. vivid green to bluish green during daylight and intense red to purple red under incandescent light. This trait of Alexandrite makes it an excellent gift for our dear ones. The stone is said to bring good luck to the wearer.

The major Alexandrite deposits were first discovered in Russia’s Ural Mountains. By the mid-20th century, its deposits were found in Brazil, Myanmar, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, etc. Despite its rarity, there is no symbolism or folklore associated with this gemstone.

About Moonstone

June’s third and last birthstone, Moonstone, was named by Pliny, a Roman natural Historian, who said that the stone’s shimmer changes with the moon’s changing phases.
