The History of the March Birthstone

The History of the March Birthstone

If you are lucky enough to be born in the month of March, we envy you! Not only is your birthday this month, but you have one of the most beautiful birthstones. Not only is the Aquamarine a beautiful and oceanic style blue- but some say it is supercharged with vibes of calmness and serenity.  It has been described as a color that of the wide bodies of water meeting the sky. Which isn't too far off. 

The color pallete of the stones is not vast, sticking to cool and light blues, to a blue green, and lighter blue or green shades. The most common versions are the icy sky blues. The name is derived from the Latin word for sea-water and it is easy to understand why the ancients used that description. Most commonly set in white gold or platinum and often with white diamonds to add contrast, along with being the March birthstone, it is also the traditional gemstone gift for the 19th anniversary. 

The most common shapes are emerald, oval and pear shapes, and it is a stone often seen and collected in estate jewels. One of the most famous examples of this is Queen Elizabeth II's suite of Aquamaries called the Brazillian Aquamarine Parure.  As the name suggests the largest contributor of the gem is Brazil, followed by Tanzania and Madagascar. 

If you choose this cool stone for a birthday, or anniversary or just because you love it, we know it will be treasured for years to come and add a sparkle and brightness to every wearer.
