Amanda’s Style File: June’s Treasures from the Sea
Amanda Gizzi highlights her favorite June birthstone: pearls.
June has three birthstone options: pearls, moonstone and alexandrite. Pearls are the most classic June birthstone and with so many incredible pieces of pearl jewelry currently available in the market, this Amanda’s Style File must be dedicated simply to pearls.
For decades, pearls have been a style accessory. In the past, pearls were used to formalize attire and were the must-have accessory for a woman wanting to look powerful and successful. Simple pearl strands were in every jewelry box and were a staple at weddings.
Today, pearls are getting major makeovers and are being used in trend-setting styles and fashion-forward designs. Pearls make the perfect gift as they can be found in every price and in styles appropriate for women of all ages. Here are a few that are Amanda’s Style File picks.
