The eye-catching rhodolite jewelry in our June birthstone rings are incomparably lovely; rhodolite is also known as the rose garnet. These have emerged as the modern June birthstones of choice, due to the fact that other gems historically used in June birthstone rings are not as strong or high-quality compared to others. June birthstone rings made with rhodolite has much in common with an alexandrite (the old stone), but the greater strength and more consistent color of this gem make it the superior choice. Rhodolite garnet is thought to promote love and friendship.
