Aquamarine Earrings, Pendants and Rings
Aquamarine means seawater in Latin, a fitting name for a stone of light, greenish blue.
Like emerald, aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl. Because its colour is light, the cut matters: a well-cut aquamarine is often exceptionally clear, which is what makes it sparkle.
Sailors in the ancient world linked it with the sea, and today it is the birthstone for March, a meaningful gift for a birthday that month. Pieces include stud earrings, pendants and rings, mostly in white or yellow gold, and some set with diamonds beside the aquamarine.
