Springtime is the perfect season to infuse your jewelry wardrobe with color. One great way to achieve a fresh spring look is to buy a new aquarmarine pendant. Aquamarine pendants have long been a symbol of spring, and the cool, watery blue color of the stone is perfect to welcome the fresh months of warmer weather. Spring and summer clothing often includes blues, and an aquamarine pendant is an ideal accompanyment for the clothes of the season.
Aquamarine pendants are associated with spring because aquamarine is the birthstone associated with the month of March. It is also the gemstone for the nineteenth anniversary, so an aquamarine pendant is a good gift choice for that occasion as well. Aquamarine pendants are great for gift giving, because the stone is rich in color yet relatively inexpensive compared to other semi-precious gemstones.Aquamarine pendants also come in a wide array of designs. Aquamarine pairs equally well with gold or silver, can be found in large sizes or small, dainty jewelry pieces. It is such a versatile gem that it is appropriate for high fashion adult jewelry, as well as for young girl’s pendants as well. In addition, aquamarine pendants evoke feelings of safety. Aquamarine was thought to mysteriously overcome the effects of poison by people in the Middle Ages, and aquamarine pendants were worn for this reason. Likewise, ancient sailors traveled with aquamarine pendants and crystals, believing that they would ensure a safe passage. These sailors often slept with the stone under their pillows to ensure sound sleep while at sea. They also believed that mermaids’ fish-like lower bodies were made of aquamarine, due to the sea-color of the stone. Because of its beautiful light blue appearance and the long history of aquamarine as a protective gem, aquamarine pendants make great gifts for any woman in your life. It is especially appropriate for women born in March, or for a nineteenth anniversary gift. |
