What a fabulous, and diverse, lineup of birthstones for the month of June!
ALEXANDRITE is the true “chameleon” of gemstones! A rare color-changing member of the chrysoberyl family, it was originally found in the Ural Mountains of Russia in the 1830s and named after the then Tsar’s son and heir, Alexander.Alexandrite is often known as the “stone of balance” and is said to bring happiness to the wearer.
PEARLS are always a very popular choice for everyday wear and are a true organic gem! Most pearls we see today are cultured and raised on pearl “farms” around the world.The host mollusks there are cleaned and protected from pollutants and predators.Celebrated as gems of purity and tranquility, you can’t go wrong with pearls!
MOONSTONE is a contemporary addition to the June lineup of birthstones and is certainly one of our most popular stones! Found in several areas of the world today, including the U.S, India and Madagascar it is often called the “Traveller’s Stone”….guaranteeing safe travels for the wearer!
We are very fortunate to have some amazing examples of all three June birthstones and we look forward to sharing them with you soon!

❤️❤️We very much appreciate your patience and support as we navigate the ongoing street repairs and closures in the French Quarter.We continue to be open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 6pm❤️❤️

💚We are all familiar with the terms “Emerald Isle” and “Emerald City” which give us an idea of the beautiful colour of May’s birthstone.
Found in several areas of the world today from Zambia to, most famously, Colombia, emeralds are considered rare.Members of the Beryl family of minerals, emeralds have been highly prized since the time of the Ancient Egyptians and are still very popular today! Once believed to cure diseases such as cholera and malaria, emeralds today are mostly associated with emotional healing and balance.💚
💚We are fortunate to have some beautiful examples of emeralds in both silver and gold settings, as well as some raw specimens💚

THANKYOU for your continued patience and support as we navigate the ongoing street closures and repairs in the French Quarter….Bobo is waiting by the door to see you!

💜February’s birthstone is, without a doubt, one of our most popular stones.Whether set in silver or gold jewellery or in natural raw pieces and points, AMETHYST is always a winner! Beautiful enough for the Crown Jewels yet affordable enough for the rest of us to wear every day!💜
💜A member of the Quartz family of minerals, Amethyst achieves its colour from trace amounts of iron.Found in several areas of the world today from Africa to South America and the U.S, Amethyst was once believed to prevent intoxication.Today we think of it more as a stone for calming and stress relief.💜

💜💚💛We will soon be returning from our Winter Break and will REOPEN on Wednesday, Feb10th, just in time for your Valentine’s Day shopping and the BIG Carnival weekend with parades galore! We look forward to seeing you soon! 💜💚💛
