The aquamarine has long been considered to be a peaceful stone. In folklore, this dazzling gemstone was thought to bring victory in battles and legal disputes, so many still wear these stones as a talisman of good luck.

There are many other beliefs and legends surrounding March's gemstone. Some believe that aquamarine possesses the power to relieve pain and bring out positive qualities such as friendliness and intellect in the wearer.

The sea blue crystal is also believed to symbolise tranquillity, harmony and clarity.

Throughout history, aquamarine jewellery has been popular due to the beautiful, colourful variety of tones these gemstones can come in. During the 19th century, light green aquamarines were most frequently used in jewellery making. However, today we most often encounter sky blue aquamarine jewellery.

During the Art Deco and Art Nouveau periods, aquamarine was particularly popular in jewellery making. Jewellers specialising in Art Nouveau Jewellery style during the late 1800s and the early 1900s rebelled against the strict rules of jewellery making in the Victorian era, and chose to craft pieces inspired by nature and animals, often featuring the gorgeous aquamarine.
