March has always included Aquamarine as a birthstone, but traditionally March has also been represented by Bloodstone. Aquamarine is said to bring you courage and hope.
In addition to being March's Birthstone, Aquamarine is also used to celebrate 19th Wedding Anniversaries - which is perfect since it's said to bring happiness in marriage!
Aquamarine gemstones are found in several countries, but some of the best specimens are found here in Colorado. As a matter of fact, Aquamarine is Colorado's state gemstone.
Perfect for a state with stunning blue skies over its mountains and plains.

Although previously recognized as March’s birthstone, Aquamarine became the official birthstone of March in 1912, when the Jewelers Of America Association formalized a “modern” list of birthstones. Birthstones have changed over the centuries as different stones became less available or other stones became more desirable. As a matter of fact, before 1912, Aquamarine was considered one of October’s birthstones!
The name Aquamarine is from the Latin for water and sea - not surprising given its range of colors. Because of its coloring, most lore associates Aquamarine with the sea. Personally, the varied blue hues of Aquamarine remind me of a foggy morning sky here in the mountains. Regardless, Aquamarine has beautifully soothing blue colors!
Yes, although March has two birthstones, Aquamarine is the primary birthstone for those lucky enough to be born in March!
The original birthstone for March is Bloodstone, a dark-green gemstone flecked with red spots formed from iron oxide. Over time, Bloodstone became less available, and Aquamarine became the primary official birthstone for March. Now, March babies have two birthstones to choose from!
In addition to dangling earrings, I have uniquely designed Aquamarine posts and stud earrings, along with necklaces such as my Aquamarine Blue Sky solitaire pendant necklace.
