The gift of Aquamarine symbolizes both safety and security, especially within long standing relationships.
Some people even say that the Aquamarine reawakens love in a tired marriage, so if you want to bring back that spark in your partner's eyes, you might consider this gem as an anniversary gift!
Derived from the Roman word "Aqua," meaning water, and "mare," meaning sea, this pale blue gem does indeed resemble the color of seawater. The ancient Romans believed that the Aquamarine was sacred to Neptune, the god of the sea, having fallen from the jewel boxes of sirens and washed onto shore. Early sailors wore aquamarine talismans, engraved with the likeness of Neptune, as protection against dangers at sea.
The Aquamarine is a member of the beryl family. It is a very hard mineral, making the Aquamarine a durable gemstone for use in jewelry. The largest known deposits are in Brazil, but other sources of Aquamarine are in China, India, Australia, Africa, and the United States.
While Aquamarine is the official birthstone of March, we're extending the 20% discount to Blue Topaz as well because it is a common substitute.
