The Stone of the Sea

Aquamarine's Birthstone History

Because its deep associations with the ocean, the aquamarine birthstone is known as the sailors’ gem, promising ancient mariners safe and fruitful journeys at sea. During World War II, the U.S. navy commissioned a coastal patrol yacht, naming it the USS Aquamarine as tribute to the beloved gemstone and its ties to the ocean. A favourite among royals and nobility as well, aquamarine was particularly treasured by Queen Elizabeth II who chose to wear a pair of stunning aquamarine earrings at her coronation in 1953.

Many believe that it inspires understanding and deep communication between people, also bestowing courage and bravery upon its wearer. A stone of truth and protection, aquamarine guards against evil thoughts and invokes creativity while heightening wisdom and intellect. Aquamarine inspires its wearer to feel as relaxed as the lolling of gentle sea waters, encouraging a spirit of compassion and kindness.
