Top 8 Jewelry Gifts for Geminis: Pearl and Tiger’s Eye

The zodiac sign a person is born under has great significance for many people on the planet today. This is probably due to the rich meanings associated with each astrological symbol and how people love to explore the symbolism to uncover how it might pertain to their personality and life.

“What’s your sign?” When’s the last time you were asked that question? If it’s been a while, today’s post is about to change all of that. Especially if your answer to that question is, “I’m a Gemini.”

If you were born between May 21 and June 20, you’re a Gemini. Even if you’re not one yourself, perhaps you know one, or have a special Gemini in your life, in which case you might want to keep reading.

As you might already realize, every astrological sign overlaps two months. Geminis get both May and June. But since most of the time frame occurs within the month of June, Geminis are usually associated with June’s birthstone: pearl.

However, pearls are not the only stone Geminis get the pleasure of enjoying. In the colorful world of gemstones, there are many beautiful treasures from the earth that people believe align perfectly with that astrological sign. Among them is one we will also discuss in today’s post: tiger’s eye, which leads us to today’s topic: Top Jewelry Gifts for Geminis: Pearl and Tiger’s Eye.

Before we share our suggestions from The Gift Advisors at The Bradford Exchange, we thought it would be helpful to provide a little more context on Geminis and look at the ways they connect to these two revered stones.

The Gemini Zodiac Sign Explained

Gemini is the 3rd astrological sign in the zodiac and is represented by a set of twins. Specifically, Castor and Pollux, who were twin half-brothers found in the stories of Greek and Roman mythology. Even if you’re not familiar with this historical literary reference, can you imagine what this symbol of duality might mean for the personality of a Gemini?

Gemini is an air sign ruled by Mercury, a planet named after the very swift and speedy messenger of the gods in classical Roman mythology. As a side note regarding the Gemini/Mercury association, a lot has been said about the planet Mercury, including the notion that the planet is “curious” or “restless”. This is because, as opposed to other planets that revolve around the sun in a closed or fixed orbit, Mercury has an open orbit. This means it is constantly shifting, constantly changing. Can you relate? Some Geminis lean into these things as a way of understanding what makes them tick. Maybe you do too.

But what does all this mean? Clearly, humans are incredibly nuanced, and there are certainly parts of our experience and genetic makeup that dictate our unique qualities and ways of expression. But here are some of the typical personality traits and characteristics associated with Geminis:

– Curious

– Versatile

– Dualistic

– Intellectual

– Impulsive

– Artistic

– Expressive

– Energetic

– Adaptable

– Charming

– Outgoing

– Communicative

If you are a Gemini, or know one well, does this sound familiar? It’s important to remember that astrological signs and the zodiac, while highly valued by many, are not an exact science. But they are certainly entertaining to learn about. Don’t you think? Now let’s get into some interesting facts about the two Gemini stones: pearl and tiger’s eye.

The Significance of Pearls for Geminis

Now that we know Geminis have been assigned the pearl as their birthstone, you might wonder what other ways the zodiac sign connects with the gem. Let’s take a look at some of the parallels.

Aesthetic Appeal – despite their quite volatile beginnings, pearls are iridescent, lustrous and perfectly fluid. They are, at once, both classic and contemporary in their presentation, allowing them to be worn in a variety of different jewelry styles. The duality of the pearl pairs wonderfully with Geminis because they are considered to be highly adaptable, versatile and ready to “switch things up” at a moment’s notice.

Origin – if you know how pearls are “born,” you know they are the only gemstone we get from living creatures. Other gemstones are singularly products of the earth. Pearls are created when oysters or other mollusks respond to an irritant entering their shell. To prevent damage to its fragile body, the oyster perpetually secretes a protein known as nacre, which form around the irritant to make the pearl possible. The bifold nature of the pearl’s creation, blending the harsh roughness of the shell with the purity of the finished pearl is a direct connection to the twin nature of Gemini, referencing Castor and Pollux once again.

Symbolism – the pearl should not be underestimated. The simplicity and purity of its beauty is not something everyone is drawn too. This is why it is often worn by more extroverted personalities. Those who exude a certain self-confidence and intelligence. That’s why the gemstone is perfect for Geminis, who are often outgoing intellectuals with a penchant for expressing themselves.

Now that we can clearly see how pearls and Geminis connect, let’s have a look at some top jewelry gift recommendations, all of which include a custom presentation box and/or velvet jewelry pouch.

The Significance of Tiger’s Eye for Geminis

Now that we’ve discussed how pearls connect to Geminis, let’s take a look at their companion stone, the tiger’s eye, and how it might align with their zodiac sign.

Aesthetic Appeal – tiger’s eye is a member of the quartz group of crystals. It is essentially a metamorphic rock boasting a silky luster and fairly opaque transparency. It typically comes in shades of reddish brown and yellow brown with darker and lighter stripes throughout. When you see a tiger’s eye up close, it’s easy to tell where its name comes from. The dualistic nature of its unique pattern is a wonderful complement to the Gemini personality.

Material Qualities – tiger’s eye gives off a soaring, high-flying type of energy that wonderfully complements Gemini, an air sign, but it also can aid with grounding properties and restoration of balance. Geminis tend to be a little bit unpredictable at times and impulsive. Tiger’s eye can work as a sort of harmonious counter to the typical Gemini personality, acting as a sort of earthy stabilizing agent to lofty, airy impulses.

Meaning – similar to the applied meaning of a pearl, the tiger’s eye is also thought to promote a sense of power and support feelings of self-confidence, bravery and authority. This would imply that not everyone has the fortitude to wear the tiger’s eye. Geminis however, with their charming, outgoing natures, seem to be a very good fit.

Now let’s have a look at a few of our top tiger’s eye jewelry selections. Each one makes a handsome gift for a Gemini man and includes a custom presentation box and/or velvet jewelry pouch.
