What is aquamarine?

Aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald, coloured by traces of iron. Its name comes from the Latin "aqua marina", sea water, and it rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. Many people associate it with calm, clarity and open communication. It is the March birthstone and the traditional gem for a 19th wedding anniversary.

How to wear and care for it

Put it on after perfume, lotion and hairspray, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing, and store it flat in a pouch away from harder jewellery. Pearls are soft, so remove it before swimming, showering or exercise.
