Aquamarine-Symbol of Youth, Hope and Health

Mmmm......the seductive waters of the Caribbean gleaming in the sun , calming the spirit and reviving the soul. This is where the lovely and delicate aquamarine takes me! March birthdays enjoy the stone as their birthstone, 19th anniversary celebraters call for the aquamarine and marriages that have grown tired can be revived with aquamarine (well maybe!) Ancient lore tells of sailors traveling with aquamarine to ensure a safe passage and safe return. Healers often use aquamarine for depression. Aquamarine was very popular in 1930s and 1950s costume jewelry. Since the recent hunger for everything vintage in fashion jewelry, high end designers have been using the wonderful gem again. Mish New York has offered aquamarine earrings, Tito Pedrini has fabulous aquamarine rings, Cellini includes different shape aquamarines with gold accents, Elizabeth Locke shows aquamarine beads with a gold, aquamarine and diamond cross and Kara Ross features raw aquamarines that are inset with diamonds. It is no surprise that Tiffany's and VanCleef & Arpels are including spectacular aquamarine necklaces in their Spring offerings.
