Few gemstones evoke the tranquil beauty of nature quite like March’s birth stone, aquamarine. With its serene blue hues that mirror the vastness of the ocean, aquamarine has captured hearts for generations. It is a gemstone that tells a story, not only of natural wonder but also of timeless elegance and enduring value. Here, we dive into what makes aquamarine so special.
The Allure of Aquamarine
Aquamarine’s popularity lies in its exquisite color, which ranges from pale pastel blues to deeper sea-like tones. This light, soothing palette complements a variety of skin tones and settings, making it a versatile choice for fine jewellery. Whether set in white gold for a modern touch or in yellow gold for vintage appeal, aquamarine exudes an understated elegance that never goes out of style.
A Durable Gem for Everyday Wear
One of aquamarine’s most practical qualities is its durability. Rated 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, it is resilient enough to withstand the wear and tear of daily use. This makes it a popular choice for engagement rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets. For jewellery designers and makers, aquamarine offers the perfect balance of beauty and practicality, allowing for innovative creations that endure.
March’s Birth Stone - Symbolism and Meaning
Often associated with the calming energy of the sea, aquamarine has long been regarded as a stone of serenity and clarity. Ancient sailors carried aquamarine as a talisman for safe voyages, believing it to be the treasure of mermaids. Today, it is seen as a symbol of harmony, courage, and communication, making it an especially meaningful gift.
