Aquamarine, the birthstone of March, has a rich colour and has long been a symbol of youth, health and hope. It's mesmerizing colour ranges from pale to deep blue and is reminiscent of the sea. It is said to bring a calming, soothing, and cleansing nature – with its usual pale blue colour we can see why – as well as this, it inspires truth, trust and letting go.

The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning 'water of the sea' and refers to its sparkling ocean-like colour, and the stones themselves were thought to protect seafarers.
