This elegant rhodolite jewelry features the bright gem known also as raspberry or rose garnet. These have emerged as the modern June birthstone rings of choice, due to the fact that other gems historically used as a June birthstone are not as strong or high-quality compared to others. These alternate styles of June birthstone rings have much in common with an alexandrite (the old stone), but this the greater strength and more consistent color of this gem make it the superior choice. This June birthstone is representative of love and friendship.
