The word ‘aquamarine’ comes from the latin words for ‘water’ and ‘of the sea’, so it’s unsurprising that it was a stone thought to keep sailors safe on their travels.
This pale blue or greenish blue stone encapsulates the calmness and purity of the seaside, and some people believe wearing it cools the temper. It is also said to create harmonious personal connections between friends and partners.
As the birthstone for March, the aquamarine holds special symbolism for March babies. It’s also the gemstone that represents 19th wedding anniversaries, giving this gem a beautiful sentimentality for long romantic relationships.
