AQUAMARINE

The aquamarine is the traditional March birthstone. What mysteries lie within this precious gem? It comes in light hues of pale blue, not to be confused with the blue topaz of course!

Here, this soothing gem evokes loyalty, friendship, courage. This soft sense of blue is subtle yet strong.  It does not blurt out its message, instead it is simply there.

A poem for YOU~

"A March born shall always be

Soothed by Aqua, gem of sea

This mermaid's treasured stone you wear

Will bring happiness, love, affection and care."
