A precious gemstone formed within a mollusk
Derived from the English word for the organic gemstone, it ultimately traces back to the Latin 'perla'. It has long been associated with purity, rarity, and the sea. As a birthstone for June, it was exceptionally popular in the late 19th century and is currently experiencing a vintage revival.
