The name of the birthstone for March, Aquamarine, is Latin for “sea water.” This aptly-named, cool blue stone captures the refreshing color of the fairest seas. Greek goldsmiths used Asian Aquamarines in their jewelry. Today, most are found in Brazil, Madagascar and Russia. The Aquamarine is a variety of Beryl, belonging to the same family of gems as the Emerald. Large stones are often cut in rectangular or oval shapes to make dramatic rings and pendants. With the added dazzle of a few accent diamonds, the effect is truly breathtaking. Aquamarine takes on an icy beauty when set into platinum or white gold. Yellow gold casts a sunny glow upon a sea of blue. Come see our special collection of Aquamarines, selected individually for their fine color and clarity.
