Featuring Elegant, Timeless Looks for Every Piercing Lover

​

June babies are lucky—this month has not one, but three recognized birthstones: pearl, moonstone, and alexandrite. Each of these stones offers a completely different vibe, from classic and romantic to mysterious and ever-changing. Whether you’re styling your existing piercings or planning something new, June’s birthstones offer gorgeous ways to celebrate your individuality.​

🌸 Pearl: The Timeless Classic

Nothing says elegance quite like a pearl. With their soft luster and natural glow, pearls are the perfect accent for:

Upper lobe piercings — pair small pearl studs with gold accents for a classic stacked look.

Helix or flat piercings — a single pearl in a sleek bezel or prong setting adds sophistication to your cartilage.

Conch piercings — a statement pearl tucked into the center of your ear adds a romantic, vintage touch.

Pearls can be dressed up or down, and they’re stunning when set in gold or paired with warm-toned metals. Try layering multiple sizes for a modern spin on tradition.

🌙 Moonstone: Dreamy & Ethereal

Known for its soft shimmer and “moonlight” glow, moonstone is a favorite for those drawn to more mystical or feminine aesthetics.

Daith or rook piercings — moonstone in a curved barbell adds subtle magic to tucked-away spots.

Nostril piercings — a tiny, iridescent moonstone stud gives just the right hint of celestial sparkle.

Stacked lobes — try mixing moonstone with opals or clear CZs for a fairy-core look that still feels elevated.

Moonstone’s glow shifts with the light, making it a beautiful way to draw attention to the unique curves of your ear styling.

✨ Alexandrite: The Shapeshifter

This rare gemstone changes color depending on the lighting—ranging from greenish hues in daylight to reddish-purple under incandescent light.

Septum jewelry — showcase alexandrite in a clicker for a piercing that demands attention.

Industrial bar — go bold with a gemstone that shifts as you move.

Custom cluster pieces — blend alexandrite with complementary stones to highlight its color-shifting magic.

Alexandrite is perfect for those who like their style with a little drama and a lot of personality. It’s a great statement choice for anyone wanting something less expected than the classic pearl.

How to Style June Birthstones

When styling birthstone jewelry, consider:

Metal pairings: Pearls and moonstone glow in yellow or rose gold. Alexandrite pops against white gold or titanium.

Piercing placement: Choose one focal piece (like a conch or helix hoop) and build around it with simpler studs to balance.

Layering: Don’t be afraid to stack stones—combine pearls with clear gems or moonstones with textured metals for depth.
