\"Thakoon<\/a>June babies got the short end of the stick being born in June. No gemstone to speak of, just a pearl<\/strong> for a birthstone. Yes pearls are rare and beautiful but we’ve never felt compelled to buy them. Until now. Thai designer Thakoon Panichgul<\/a> was recently named creative director of Tasaki<\/strong>, a high-end Japanese jeweler and this week debuted his line of\u00a0pearl jewelry<\/a> and diamond jewelry<\/a> for the company. The result is a modern take on pearls – edgy gold bands with several pearls dangling from a necklace, pearls on two-finger gold rings, safety-pin accessorized lariat necklaces and chain-link bracelets.<\/p>\n

Thakoon<\/strong> told Women’s Wear Daily<\/a>: “I really wanted to just go back to the DNA of what Tasaki’s about, which is beautiful pearls, beautiful materials and beautiful diamonds<\/strong>. I wanted to put some youthful spirit into pearls.”<\/p>\n

The line will be available in April at Tasaki’s Ginza, Tokyo store. Love the looks, but – get ready to clutch your pearls – prices start at $5,577 up to $39,041. Guess we’ll be embracing Thakoon’s take on our birthstone from afar.<\/p>\n
