Were you lucky enough to be born in June? Congratulations, your birthstone is the soignee pearl. Pearls are a wonderful accessory to pair with jeans or a little black dress. They add an understated elegance that always looks great, no matter what your stylish preference!

Pearls originate from oysters and other mollusks; when a tiny grain of sand or other object gets stuck inside the oyster, it covers it with layers of nacre. Most pearls nowadays are man-made. But natural pearls can still be found, mostly in the Persian Gulf, the South Pacific Islands, and on the coasts of Venezuela, Panama, and California.

From Audrey Hepburn to Jackie O., pearls symbolize an understated glamour. Abeille has several gorgeous jewelry items using pearls, such as the Blushing Bride Pearl Earrings, The World is Yours Earrings, and the Green Tea, Not Latte Necklace. 25% off Pearls until June 30th 2011
