## Caption

Pearls for June and for days... that's right June's birthstone is the pearl.

This pendant, featuring Hercules, represents physical strength and courage.

Why?

According to legend, Hercules used his strength to form the Strait of Gibraltar (a narrow passage of water connecting the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea) to discourage sea monsters from entering the Mediterranean.
