Aquamarine is best known as the birthstone for the month of March, but it is a popular substitution for diamonds in alternative or nontraditional engagement rings. The word “aquamarine” means “water of the sea” and the stone was often carried or worn by sea travelers and sailors. It was believed long ago that the cool-and-clear blue stone “originated in the treasure chests of mermaids” and would protect anyone traveling by or near the sea.

In crystal healing traditions, the aquamarine is a calming, soothing and cleansing gem. It is said to inspire focus and trust while opening up easy, transparent communication in relationships. Perhaps this is why we’ve gotten quite a few requests to design engagement rings with aqua center stones.

Aquamarine gemstones range in color from a very pale ice-blue to rich blue-greens, and they are believed by many to open the heart chakra and to allow for unconditional love and compassion to flow freely into one’s relationship. Of course, on a practical level, a beautiful aquamarine engagement ring can double as your “something blue” on your wedding day.

Like emeralds, the aquamarine is a member of the Beryl family of minerals (same as emeralds, morganite) and measures a strong 7.5 - 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness. The sturdy gemstone is a durable choice for everyday wear, so whether you were born or engaged in March, just love the rich lore and history of the gem, or you simply enjoy the hue of the gem, consider aquamarine for your bridal jewelry.
