If you need some inspiration for jewelry gift ideas, we’ve got you covered! From diamond-accented aquamarine pendants and earrings to elegant rings and bracelets, we think you’ll see something your March baby will adore. We’ll also spill some fun facts you might not know about the Stone of the Sea to share with someone you know!
Aquamarine was first found in the “discovery” age near the Sea of Siberia in 1723 and became a prevalent stone by the end of the 18th century. Sailors took the biggest liking to it due to its seafoam-like color. They believe that it brought good luck to their travels and protected them from evil spirits such as sirens or even the devil. Aquamarine is one of the less-rare stones, but it made a huge impact on European culture. We’re all sailors on our separate journeys, and an aquamarine pendant is exactly what we need!
The rule of three in Irish culture is incredibly sacred. Examples throughout the world of this “rule” can be found anywhere, the most popular being birth, life, and death, and the father, son, and holy ghost. Our trillion-cut aquamarine pendant is set in 14k white gold with petite diamond accents to show off your neckline on any outfit. This pendant is sleek and a perfect option for your giftee!
If you’re looking for a true sea-inspired pendant, this is the perfect pendant for you or your giftee. 14k white gold holds a geometrically shaped halo of diamonds to accentuate a perfectly colored aquamarine. The pendant is the perfect size for any occasion, even for everyday wear!
This pendant is a part of our American gem Collection, it is #267 “Electric Dream!”. A Colorado aquamarine is set in 14k white gold with a bar of diamond accents across the top of the piece. A paperclip chain is connected to the stone which makes it wearable right away! This one-of-a-kind piece is a true gift for anyone you love!
Did you know the biggest chunk of aquamarine in the world is in the United States? The “Dom Pedro” is a 2-foot-tall, 10,363-carat stone found in Brazil. The piece itself weighs a little over 60 pounds and calls the Gemology section of the Smithsonian its home. It was founded in the 1980s and named after the first two rulers of the Brazillian nation! While on the topic of Geology, aquamarine, and emeralds are essentially the same stone! They both come from the same mineral family, the only difference between the two is the color chemistry. The green in emeralds is much rare to come by, hence the price difference when searching for these stones in jewelry!

Aquamarine has been used for centuries in jewelry and is a popular choice for engagement rings. It is a durable stone, making it suitable for everyday wear. It is also a symbol of youth, hope, and health, making it a meaningful gift for many occasions. The color range of aquamarine is slim, but it ranges from sea-foam green to a deep teal blue! Each color is worth a different price, but the most popular is the color you see on many jewelry pieces!
A spiraling band with an aquamarine is a perfect option for an everyday ring. A light amount of diamond accents make sure your finger looks amazing anywhere you go!
Sitting by the beach with a margarita will feel extra special with this statement cocktail ring! A diamond halo on a simple band holds a stunning round-cut aquamarine of the most beautiful color.
Something closer to the roots of America can always be special. A Colorado aquamarine sits in a 14k two-toned gold swoop with diamonds in American Gem Collection piece #254, “Charmante Magnolia”!
Aquamarine was and is a popular stone among famous figures as well! One of Princess Diana’s most iconic looks is draped in Aquamarine rings, earrings, and necklaces! Some of the royal gems on the late Queen of England’s crown were aquamarine, and a few of her favorite tiaras featured our beautiful stone.
An aquamarine bracelet is a beautiful addition to an outfit. The Colorado state gem is surrounded by a halo of diamonds in a 14k white gold bangle cuff bracelet.
Now that we’ve been through the beautiful history of aquamarine, hopefully, your gift of jewelry will hold something special in your giftee’s heart. Whether you are someone who loves the sea or not, aquamarine is a stone that is loveable through and through. Happy birthday to the March babies from the Sami Crew!
