The Aquamarine – A Celebration of the March Birthstone

The enchanting beauty of aquamarine, with its serene blue hues, has captivated people for centuries. Known for its calming qualities and association with the sea, this gemstone is the birthstone for those born in March. Its name, derived from the Latin words aqua (water) and marina (of the sea), perfectly encapsulates the stone’s ocean-like blue tones.

Aquamarine has a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations. It was prized by the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, who believed that the stone held powerful connections to the sea gods. Sailors, in particular, treasured aquamarine as a good-luck charm, believing it would calm turbulent waters and ensure safe voyages. The gemstone was often carved into amulets and worn as a symbol of protection.

Today, aquamarine remains a beloved gemstone, particularly in jewellery. Its beauty and spiritual symbolism continue to captivate people around the world. March’s birthstone was also thought to bring happiness in marriage which is why this gemstone also makes the perfect wedding anniversary gift.
