Jewelry fans with March birthdays are one of the lucky ones as they can adorn aquamarine jewelry , aquamarine being the traditional birthstone of March. It is also the 19th wedding anniversary gemstone.

This gemstone has always enticed and gathered attention of many viewers. The icy blue color is a unique factor of an aquamarine. Other gemstones with harsher color give a distracting look to the jewelry, whereas the soft look of aquamarine makes the jewelry look delicate and impressive. The color can vary from pale blue to sky color with sprinkles of green. Deeper the color, higher is the value. More importantly, the color of an aquamarine gemstone may fade if exposed to light for long. This highly depends on the quality of the stone. Hence it should be purchased carefully.

Aquamarine belongs to the mineral family of beryl in which other gemstones like emerald, heliodor and morganite are also included. Its name is derived from its color: “aqua” referring to water and “marine” to sea. It is considerably durable and hard with Mohs scale rating of 7.5.

Aquamarine is considered to enhance and flourish the wearer’s married life and renew their love. Also being the resemblance of ocean, this gemstone brings about purity in the body and spirit. It is also regarded as a good luck charm for sailors and travelers as this gemstone is said to protect and bless them on long journeys and any kind of dangers from the sea. In addition to this, it also brings in wealth and happiness and enhances the youthfulness of the wearer.

Because of its gentle color, aquamarines go well with diamonds and other light colored stones making the jewelry strikingly beautiful.
