A Guide to March’s Birthstone: Aquamarine

With its association with water, Aquamarine makes the perfect Birthday gift for those born in March, especially if they are a water sign like Pisces. A sign of quiet, calm and serenity, Aquamarine jewellery makes a thoughtful and personal gift. 

5 reasons why you should gift Aquamarine for a March Birthday

1. It’s the official Birthstone for March

Aquamarine is traditionally given as a gift to people whose birthday falls in March, and has been for over 100 years. It’s a thoughtful gift to give as it is a personal gift and marks the transition from winter to spring. 

2. Thought to strengthen relationships

Aquamarine is linked to the third chakra, the throat. And, when used in meditation, plays a key role in helping to improve communication, confidence and vocalising thoughts and feelings with clarity. This makes Aquamarine jewellery a special gift representing the person who just “gets” you without you even having to say anything. 

3. For luck and protection 

You can’t get more romantic than giving your loved one a gift of luck and protection - especially if your partner travels frequently. Traditionally given to sailors for safe voyage, Aquamarine has long been a talisman for travellers. You could also gift Aquamarine to the person you want to travel the world with, showing your partner how committed you are to them. 

4. A gift that will last a lifetime

Aquamarine is a highly durable gemstone, rated 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it the ideal choice for jewellery that can be worn every day. Its resistance to chipping and scratching make it a great option not only for rings, but for earrings, bracelets and pendants too. If looked after, Aquamarine jewellery can last a lifetime and be passed down generations. 

5. An affordable choice compared to other gemstones

Aquamarine offers luxury and sophistication at an affordable price compared to other precious stones. This allows you to buy a larger, higher quality stone without breaking the bank, allowing you to choose statement jewellery at a fraction of the cost of a piece of jewellery featuring purely diamonds.
