Hello! Our names are Maria and Gerald, and we are the Founders of June Pine Jewelry. The Maison was founded in Bolingbrook, Illinois and honors our legacy and heritage as jewelers, entrepreneurs, and business professionals. We specialize in Sterling Silver 925 jewelry that is tarnish-free and brilliant pieces.

THE MEANING OF JUNE PINE
The name “June Pine” reflects our journey together: “June” celebrates our wedding on June 1, 2003 at Saint Dominic Church in Bolingbrook, while “Pine” is an evergreen tree, symbolizing resilience, continuity, and our aspirations for our families and future.

WHO WE ARE
Both myself and Gerald have built successful careers in the Information Technology field in the Chicagoland Area. June Pine is our passion project and we are excited to share it with you. Our Rapatalo & Jacob Family inspires us daily. Our daughter Megan studies Computer Science at the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and an Officer of the UIUC Philippine Student Association and graduated from Plainfield East High School. Our son Colin attends Saint Scholastica School and plays for Sports Performance Volleyball and was a member of the Bolingbrook Pelican Swim Team. Both our children studied at Saint Dominic School.

OUR FAMILY BUSINESS
June Pine Jewelry is more than a brand to us — the maison is a reflection of our love, resilience, and legacy. Our passion project brought to life after years of meticulous planning and thoughtful curation of our Sterling Silver Collection. We cannot wait to share it with you. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Sincerely,
Maria and Gerald
