March babies, your birthstone is basically ocean magic in gem form! ๐
Aquamarine gets its name from Latin โ "aqua" (water) + "marina" (of the sea). And honestly, when you hold one up to the light and see that gorgeous blue-green shimmer, it really does look like you captured a piece of the Pacific.
Our Hawaii Advantage
Living in Hawaii, we're totally spoiled by the ocean. We see every shade of blue and blue-green imaginable โ from the pale turquoise of shallow reef waters to the deep sapphire of the open Pacific. And honestly? It's made us a little obsessed when it comes to buying aquamarine! We're always trying to find stones that capture those colors we see every day. So when you shop our aquamarine selection, just know that each piece passed the "does this look like our ocean?" test. ๐บ
A Gem with History
Here's a fun fact: sailors used to carry aquamarine for protection during sea voyages! Legend has it that if they got caught in a storm, they'd throw their aquamarine overboard to calm the waters. (I always wonder how much aquamarine is sitting at the bottom of the ocean!)
Aquamarine has been used in jewelry since at least 500 BC โ so when you wear it, you're connecting to a really ancient tradition.
Cool, Calm, and Collected
The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool tempers and help the wearer stay calm under pressure. This made it a popular anniversary gift back in the day โ the idea being that it would help couples communicate better and stay level-headed. (Not a bad idea, right?)
For those who love crystal energy:
- Heart chakra โ helps release old emotional patterns
- Throat chakra โ supports clear communication
- Builds confidence and courage
- Perfect for anyone facing a big life change
The Perfect Gift
If you're shopping for a March birthday, aquamarine is such a thoughtful choice. The color is universally flattering, and the meaning behind it โ calm, clarity, courage โ is something everyone can use.
Fun fact: Aquamarine is actually a type of beryl, which makes it cousins with emerald and morganite!
