Gemstone Guide

At the intersection of nature + design, June Moon uses many different precious and semi-previous gemstones to create pieces of wearable art that express a deep love for and connection with nature. Our pieces celebrate and facilitate wonder for the ancient processes that happened deep under the surface of the Earth, that made some of the most beautiful specimens we have ever seen, and that ultimately, we humans found them, made them into beads, and strung them together to adorn ourselves in nature’s beauty. And we’ve been doing that for more than 12,500 years. It’s breathtaking when you realize just how few ancient practices live as strong today - it’s almost as if adornment is necessary to us as humans.

June Moon’s gemstone guide utilizes historic, scientific, and metaphysic knowledge to provide a comprehensive understanding of each gemstone featured. It can be particularly helpful for those looking for jewelry with specific properties or purposes, those who want to reference specific gemstones before jewelry shopping, those who want to learn more about the pieces they already own, or those who are just curious about pretty rocks!
