About aquamarine, the March birthstone
Aquamarine is the birthstone for March on the UK birthstone list, with bloodstone as the traditional alternative. Its name comes from the Latin for 'sea water', and its pale to mid blue really does recall a calm sea. Aquamarine belongs to the same family of gemstones as emerald.
What does aquamarine mean?
Sailors once carried aquamarine for courage and a safe voyage, and it is still linked with calm, courage and clear communication. That makes it a lovely gift for someone starting something new.
Choosing March birthstone jewellery

Caring for your March jewellery
Take your jewellery off before swimming, bathing or applying perfume and lotion. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after wearing and store each piece separately so stones and silver stay scratch-free.
