Aquamarine, moonstone, and labradorite earrings by John Iversen Aquamarine is March's birthstone, but its blue color is a winner year round. Evocative of cool water and summer beaches, it can also be incorporated into a winter wardrobe to evoke sparkling ice and clear winter skies. The very name of the gem - from "aqua" (water) and "marina" (of the sea) - honors its color. The most spectacular examples of Aquamarine are a crisp, clear, deep blue color.
Aquamarine is part of the Beryl family - a family of prestigious gems that also includes verdant Emerald (May's birthstone) and romantic pink Morganite. Like Emerald, it has long been popular as a gemstone. Lovers of blue can rejoice - in addition to being the traditional birthstone of March, Aquamarine is a traditional anniversary gift for the 19th wedding anniversary, and an alternative option for 16th or 18th anniversary.
