Aquamarine is a gemstone we all know and love. It is considered a mineral and is named after the Latin phrase aqua marina, or “water of the sea.”
This beautiful gem glows a delicate blue or turquoise coloring, hence the relation to sea water. It is also closely related in makeup to emerald. Technically, aquamarine is a transparent variety of beryl and is known to be found in yellow, pink and white varieties.
Aquamarine is the official birthstone of the month of March, as well as the gemstone associated with the 19th wedding anniversary. During the Middle Ages the stone was believed to hold the magical abilities to cure poison. Anciently, sailors toted the crystals to ensure a safe journey and safe return home. Sailors also believed mermaid’s fins to be made of aquamarine. I’m not sure how they thought the mermaids could swim…perhaps this is where the “drunken sailor” in them came out.

In ancient times, aquamarines were believed to preserve youth and usher good health to the wearer. The gems were worn as a symbol of what we today refer to as the fountain of youth. Aquamarine is a symbol of peace and tranquility and is most commonly known for its gorgeous watery coloring—hence the name.
This royal necklace holds 38 icy sky blue aquamarine gems, one of which is the main focus of the piece: a pear shaped 12.99 carat gem. Also included in this necklace are 28 round cut white diamonds and 38 oval cut blue violet tanzanite gems.
Valued at over $30,000.00 retail, you’ll not find a better deal on such an amazing piece of jewelry as you will here on Bidz.com. So what are you waiting for? Get bidding!

“There is hardly any other gemstone in modern jewellery design which is refined in such a variety of ways as aquamarine. Whether it is fashioned as a clear, transparent gem in the classical step cut, or creatively cut in a more modern design, it is always fascinatingly beautiful. Uncut too, or with many inclusions which can be brought into play by the designer in the way in which the stone is cut, it can be refined to produce the most beautiful creations.”
