March Aquamarine
7 July 2025 • 3 min read
Cool, calm, and effortlessly chic, aquamarine is the birthstone for March—and it carries with it the breath of the ocean air and the promise of peaceful new beginnings.
Beloved for its soothing blue color and luminous clarity, aquamarine is a gemstone that symbolizes calm, courage, and clear communication.
Presented to commemorate a milestone or chosen for its calming beauty, aquamarine makes a subtle but dramatic statement.
Generally referred to as a “calming stone,” aquamarine has been associated for centuries with the sea, tranquility, and emotional healing. Aquamarine amulets were used by sailors of old to ward off threats on their voyages, believing that the stone would calm angry seas and keep them safe along the way.
Spiritually, it is associated with the throat chakra, enhancing communication, expression, and self-expression. Aquamarine is today hallowed as an emblem of emotional acuity, stress relief, and subtle power hence why it’s especially lucky for newly begun ventures, such as engagements, weddings, or motherhood.
It makes a beautiful wedding gift, gift for a new mom, or gift for anyone who needs peace and focus in their life.
Aquamarine’s bright, light blue color pairs well with platinum or white gold, creating a clean and modern style. Its internal brilliance and clarity are further enhanced in emerald and baguette cuts, emphasizing the gem’s natural clarity and giving it a flowing liquid-like appearance.
For a touch of sophistication, aquamarine can be combined with diamond accents in three-stone settings, halo rings, or carved side profiles. It works especially beautifully as the centerpiece of bespoke engagement rings, show-stopping pendants, or elegant cocktail rings.
In delicate cushion cuts or contemporary east-west styles, aquamarine whispers sophistication, not screams.
All aquamarines are not created equal. Santa Maria aquamarine, found in Brazil and renowned for its deep, ocean-blue color, is the most prized variety.
These are rare, highly saturated stones that are ideal for clients on the lookout for a centrepiece that feels luxurious, elegant, and softly powerful.
Ernesto Buono Fine Jewellery offers private access to premium quality aquamarines, carefully handpicked for brilliance, colour, and cut.
Used in a modern engagement ring or a personalisable birthstone ring, a Santa Maria aquamarine brings sophistication and passion in equal measure.
March’s birthstone is more than just a beautiful stone—it’s a reflection of inner peace, truthful communication, and new beginnings.
Whether presented as a gift to someone special or selected as a special piece for yourself, an aquamarine piece becomes a daily reminder to take a deep breath, keep going, and remain elegantly grounded.
