Aquamarine the Birthstone for March
With its association with water, Aquamarine makes the perfect Birthday gift for those born in March, especially if they are a water sign like Pisces. A sign of quiet, calm and serenity, Aquamarine jewellery makes a thoughtful and personal gift.
Aquamarine is most often found in Africa, and is known for its light blue hue. The most desirable are intense blue and green, but they are extremely rare. Aquamarine ranges from completely translucent to opaque, like diamonds, the fewer visible inclusions they have, the more valuable they are.
5 reasons why you should gift Aquamarine for a March Birthday
1. It’s the official Birthstone for March
Aquamarine is traditionally given as a gift to people whose birthday falls in March, and has been for over 100 years. It’s a thoughtful gift to give as it is a personal gift and marks the transition from winter to spring. The stone is a symbol of spring as it represents the blue skies that come with the start of the new season.

2. Thought to strengthen relationships
Aquamarine is linked to the third chakra, the throat. And, when used in meditation, it plays a key role in helping to improve communication, confidence and vocalising thoughts and feelings with clarity. This makes Aquamarine jewellery a special gift representing the person who just “gets” you without you even having to say anything. Why not choose an aquamarine necklace to represent the third Chakra?

3. For luck and protection
You can’t get more romantic than giving your loved one a gift of luck and protection - especially if your partner travels frequently. Traditionally given to sailors for a safe voyage, Aquamarine has long been a talisman for travellers. You could also gift Aquamarine to the person you want to travel the world with, showing your partner how committed you are to them.
