So here’s your complete guide on how to style June birthstone jewellery and let your gemstones do the talking.
1. Styling Pearls: Understated Elegance for Every Day
Pearls are the OGs of classic style. But don’t think they’re just for grandmothers or bridal sets — modern pearls are having a major fashion moment!
Traditional Looks:
- Pair a single-strand pearl necklace with a silk saree or chikankari kurta for timeless grace.
- Pearl danglers with diamond accents are perfect for festive events or poojas.
- Add a pearl bracelet for a soft, bridal edgy glow.
Modern & Fusion Styles:
- Think pearl choker layered with gold chains for a bold Indo-western vibe.
- A mismatched pearl earring set adds flair to your plain white shirt or blazer.
- South Sea Pearl Collar Ring with Diamonds are statement pieces that elevate even the most minimal outfit.
Quick Tip: Don’t overdo it — pearls shine best when styled with confidence and simplicity.
2. Styling Alexandrite: The Luxe Chameleon
Here comes the showstopper — Alexandrite, the colour-changing, drama-loving gem that turns heads wherever it goes.
Traditional Looks:
- Set in white gold or platinum, an Alexandrite ring or pendant can add a regal edge to your lehenga or reception saree.
- For brides looking for something different, Alexandrite engagement rings are unique and meaningful.
- Add an Alexandrite bracelet with your pastel salwar suits or gowns for a rich, romantic pop of colour.
Modern & Workwear Styles:

- A colour-shifting cocktail ring adds intrigue to your LBD or saree-gown combo for an evening out.
- Go for a geometric Alexandrite cuff for a fashion-forward statement.
Quick Tip: Let Alexandrite be the hero — keep other jewellery minimal to let its mood-changing hues shine.
3. Styling Moonstone: Ethereal, Boho & Beautiful
Moonstone is the dreamer’s gemstone — soft, mystical, and quietly powerful. It’s perfect for those who love to layer, mix metals, and keep things effortlessly chic.
Traditional Looks:
- Pair silver moonstone earrings with cotton sarees or handloom kurtas for that earthy, elegant vibe.
- A moonstone pendant with rudraksha or Navratna beads can be a spiritual and stylish accessory.
- Combine moonstones with pearls or diamonds for an unexpected mix of textures at festive events.
Boho & Everyday Styles:
- Stack moonstone rings in different shapes with your regular silver jewellery.
- Layer moonstone chokers with beads or pearls for a beachy or brunch look.
- Try moonstone charm bracelets for casual yet meaningful accessorising.
Quick Tip: Moonstone plays well with silver and soft pastels — think ivory, mint, powder blue, or lavender.
Mix & Match: Yes, You Can Wear All Three!
Here’s a secret: you don’t have to choose just one gemstone.
Since pearls, moonstone, and Alexandrite all have soft yet distinctive looks, they can be beautifully combined in one look — if styled smartly.
Try This:
- A layered necklace featuring a central pearl, flanked by moonstones, and a tiny Alexandrite drop for colour contrast.
