March – Aquamarine
Aquamarine, the gemstone often thought to represent unity, boasts the colors of the sea, ranging from pale to medium blue — sometimes with a hint of green.
Aquamarine was believed to protect sailors, keep marriages happy and protect the wearer against enemies in war and court cases.
Birthstones are not only fun and nostalgic, but throughout our lives they serve as a beautiful reminder of the month when we were born. The history behind birthstones is fascinating, with origins that date back to the Old Testament and Aaron’s breastplate, which featured 12 gemstones that represented the 12 tribes of Israel.
Over time, the 12 gems eventually became associated with the zodiac. Then, in 1912, the National Association of Jewelers established the modern list of birthstones we know today.
