Derived from the Latin word meaning seawater, aquamarine was originally believed to keep seas calm and sailors safe. Even today, aquamarine represents calm, stress relief, and a sense of peace. It is the 19th wedding anniversary gift for its perceived ability to protect against potential stormy waters. And it is the birthstone for March. No matter the occasion, below are five of the best aquamarine jewels on the market.
Measuring an inch by an inch and a half, Jamie Wolf’s substantial oval aquamarine earrings are designed to make a statement. Plus, they incorporate subtle diamonds for even more glitz and glam.
A signature Irene Neuwirth design, this link necklace boasts rose-cut aquamarine with a scalloped coin edge set in gold. It’s as timeless and elegant as they come.
Inspired by antique signet and “gypsy” rings, Ashley Zhang puts aquamarine front and center. The one shown above has the gem in a north-south orientation, but this handcrafted, made-to-order style is also available in an east-west setting.
Renna’s Wave Study III bracelet doesn’t use just any aquamarine, it uses aquamarine from the Zimbaqua mine—making it a purchase that is not only beautiful but also one you can feel good about.
Part of Sauer’s Chakras collection, this ring represents a lotus flower, or symbol for the throat chakra, linked to communication and truth. The aquamarine only strengthens its healing power.
