March’s aquamarine sparkles in serene shades of soft blue.

Also known as the ‘Sailor’s Stone’, aquamarine takes its name from the Latin words for seawater, a reference to its clear and tranquil colour. Historically, sailors carried it as a protective talisman, believing it calmed the waves and brought safe passage. Today, aquamarine is still associated with clarity, harmony, and a sense of peaceful balance with its watery blue hues. It is celebrated as the modern birthstone for March and the traditional gemstone for a nineteenth anniversary gift.

March birthdays can also look to bloodstone, the month’s traditional birthstone. Also known as heliotrope, this distinctive stone features deep green hues flecked with red from iron oxide. While aquamarine and bloodstone are near opposites in appearance, both are linked to protection and well being, with bloodstone long associated with vitality and inner strength.
