Introduction

Look into the depths of an aquamarine and a whole ocean might stare back at you. Kin to the emerald, the aquamarine could have a faint greenish tint, intermingled with the finest transparent blue. It’s rather charming name stems from the Latin term ‘aqua marina’ which roughly translates into ‘water of the sea’.

Old wives tales tell us how this stone was found in treasure chests of mermaids and how sailors valued it as a good luck charm. Though strung through the tales of the ocean, because of its distinct tints of blue, it’s often worn by traditional brides on their wedding day as their ‘something blue’. It’s one of stones, where durability and beauty go hand in hand. It ranks comfortably between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, making it perfect for constant every day wear. Love, good vibes and luck follow the aquamarine wherever it goes.
