A special stone for those born in the month of March, aquamarine isn’t just a pretty addition to your jewelry box, it also holds special meaning.

Like its name and color, the legends that surround aquamarine, the much-talked-about semi-precious blue stone, all pertain to the ocean. The Ancient Greeks believed these rocks were washed ashore after spilling from the treasure chests of sirens; half bird and half woman creatures, who lured sailors to their peril with the sweetness of their songs. Believing the stone capable of calming stormy waters, sailors would wear aquamarine amulets for protection during long ocean voyages.

From talisman to royal favorite (both the late Queen and Princess Diana adored them) to centre stage in arresting High Jewellery pieces by Piaget and Cartier, the aquamarine captivates with its Aegean Sea blue tones. Below, our edit of 32 aquamarine jewelry pieces that are perfect for anyone born in March — or anyone who loves its soothing, mystical appeal. On our radar: sparkling rings from the likes of Clara Chehab, Boucheron and Pragnell, along with Cartier’s panther-detailed neckpiece, Piaget’s delicate pearl-studded necklace, and Briony Raymond’s halo earrings. A true celebration of the aquamarine stone, some of the most exciting treasures below include Lugano Diamonds’s floral brooch and Dior Joaillerie’s statement ring.
