Birthstone of the Month

If you are lucky to be born in the month of March, then your beautiful birthstone is Aquamarine! From the mineral Beryl, Aquamarine's color is usually a light pastel of greenish blue. The Aquamarine name comes from the Latin word for seawater and is said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea. It is sometimes referred to as a poor man's diamond because of the pale color. Yet, it can also be so brilliant in color that it can be mistaken for Blue Topaz. The most valuable combination is a clean, high clarity combined with a transparent blue-green hue, yet the more intense the blue, the greater the value! Aquamarine is beautiful in white gold or platinum with diamonds to showcase the color and is most available in emerald cuts, rounds, and ovals. Aquamarine is believed to enhance the happiness of marriage, and is celebrated the 19th wedding anniversary! Happy March birthdays and anniversaries!
