About Aquamarine:
Aquamarine, with its captivating blue to blue-green hues, is a cherished gemstone that has been valued for centuries, both for its beauty and its historical significance. Originating from the Latin term "aqua marina," meaning "sea water," aquamarine was believed by ancient sailors to be a protective talisman that ensured safe voyages across turbulent seas. This gemstone has been used in jewelry since ancient times, favored by royalty and noble classes; it was often carved into cameos and medallions. In modern times, aquamarine is prized for its clarity and brilliance, making it a popular choice for engagement rings and fine jewelry. Beyond adornment, aquamarine is associated with tranquility, serenity, and emotional balance, often employed in holistic practices to promote calmness and alleviate stress. Its rich history and versatile uses make aquamarine a timeless favorite among gem enthusiasts and collectors alike.
