Aquamarine, with its enchanting blue hues reminiscent of the ocean's depths, stands out as a mesmerizing gemstone that has captivated hearts for centuries. As the birthstone for March, this precious stone is not only a symbol of purity and serenity but also boasts a rich history and a plethora of interesting facts. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family of minerals and is typically found in granite rocks. The gem's name is derived from the Latin words "aqua" (water) and "marina" (of the sea), perfectly capturing its soothing aquatic tones. This month we dive into the allure of aquamarine, and a few of the aquamarine pieces we love.
SIVIGLIA
SIVIGLIA is inspired by the cobblestone streets of the magical city of Seville. The collection is characterized by small baroque oval shapes, hand engraved and occasionally embellished with pavé diamonds. The velvety reflections of the hand engraved yellow gold create an infinite interplay of light and tone.
18K Yellow Gold Aquamarine & Gold Long Necklace
One of our favorite aquamarine pieces is the 18K yellow gold long necklace by Marco Bicego. Light and elegant: a succession of oval elements with an irregular surface, alternated with carefully selected milky aquamarines. Perfect even when doubled, it can be worn many ways giving it so many different looks. This just gives you the perfect pop of color to add to your outfits. Aquamarine necklaces effortlessly add a touch of sophistication to any ensemble. Whether in a simple pendant or an elaborate statement piece, the gemstone's calming blue tones draw attention and convey a sense of refinement.
18K Yellow Gold Aquamarine Ring with Diamond Pavé Shank
Another piece from the Siviglia collection is this delicate ring. It features a central milky aquamarine set in a 18K yellow gold bezel finely hand-engraved using the ancient Florentine technique. The band is adorned with a selection of small brilliant-cut diamonds.
Symbolism and Meaning: Throughout history, aquamarine has been associated with numerous positive attributes. As the birthstone for March, it is said to bring courage, clarity, and inner peace to those born in this month. Additionally, the gem is believed to enhance communication, promote emotional balance, and protect the wearer during travel—making it a cherished talisman for many.
