Aquamarine is the birthstone for March. It’s known for its association with the water and its cool ocean blue tones. A symbol of peace, calm and clarity the stone is the perfect gift for anyone with a March Birthday.
What makes Aquamarine a good gift for a March Birthday?
Aquamarine holds special significance for those born in March, making it a thoughtful choice for a birthday gift. Its symbolism also makes it a great choice as it shares an intention of calm and clarity, two qualities associated with the star signs that fall in March, Pisces and Aries.
The delicate shades of blue complement any style, from bold modern jewels to vintage pieces, Aquamarine has a reputation for being a timeless and elegant stone. The colour of the stone is reminiscent of calm waters, which is why it was chosen to represent sailors. Aquamarine is a great gift for anyone embarking on new adventures, whether that be a new chapter in their life like a big birthday, work promotion or the next stage in your relationship together.
Is Aquamarine expensive?
When comparing Aquamarine to other jewels like Diamonds, Sapphires and Rubies, it makes a very affordable alternative. Aquamarines are gorgeous stones, showing you don’t have to sacrifice appearance on a budget.
Several different factors will impact the value of your Aquamarine jewellery including;
- Colour - The bolder the blue of the Aquamarine, usually the more expensive it will be. Pale blue is a good choice if you’re on a budget, but deep ocean blues will be more valuable.
- Clarity - Just like Diamonds, Aquamarines can contain inclusions. These flaws will impact the cost of the stone, with higher clarity stones meaning a higher price tag.
- Cut and Carat - The larger the stone, and higher the cut grade, the more valuable the stone will be. But, if you compare the price carat to carat with Diamonds or Emeralds, Aquamarine will be more affordable every time.
Aquamarine Jewellery
With its icy cool blue hue, we find that white gold, platinum and silver make a good choice for Aquamarine jewellery. Or if you’re looking for contrasting hues you could choose rose or yellow gold.
If you’re getting engaged in March or choosing an engagement ring for a March birthday present, a trilogy or halo setting helps the Aquamarine to stand out and sparkle alongside the diamonds on the ring.
Aquamarine pendants make a wonderful gift, the stone is timeless and elegant and is particularly flattering for those with cool undertones. Pair with a pair of Aquamarine studs for a touch of sophistication. Aquamarine can be especially striking when worn by someone with piercing blue eyes.
