march birthstone hoop earrings on a model

Discover the March birthstone, aquamarine. Coming from the Latin word aqua marina, a stone whose very name means water of the sea. It’s believed to carry the calm, clarity, and courage of the ocean with it. Ancient legend says that aquamarines were a treasure of the mermaids, a gift to the sailors to calm the waves and bring them home safely. In the Roman legend, it was said to absorb the atmosphere of young love and considered an appropriate gift for a bride, their something blue. 

Made in Ireland, our March birthstone collection uses genuine aquamarine and aquamarine crystals set in sterling silver, gold filled, and gold vermeil finishes. Symbolic of renewal, it is a stone made for new beginnings and jewellery made to mark these moments in time. 

What is the March birthstone meaning?

Often mistaken for topaz (November birthstone), March birthstone, a variety of beryl, is from the same family as emerald. One of the most transparent stones in the world, it’s often associated with clarity of thought and intention. The Romans believed aquamarine was sacred to Neptune, god of the sea, and that carrying it would guarantee safe passage across water. 

A traditional gift for a nineteenth wedding anniversary, it makes a perfect gift for your partner or for water babies and March birthdays. 

What is the March birthstone color?

The March birthstone colour is a serene blue, ranging from pale icy tones to deeper ocean blues. Its clarity and transparency give aquamarine an almost glassy quality, as though you are looking through still water. It gives a feeling of open skies, new light, and the particular freshness of March mornings, which makes it one of the most fitting birthstones of the year for the month it belongs to.

Silver and Gold March Birthstone Jewellery

At Lulu + Belle, our March birthstone jewellery brings aquamarine and aquamarine crystal together across a collection of wearable pieces: four-pronged stud earrings, a dainty bracelet with a stone at its centre, dangling hoop earrings with aquamarine crystals, and a delicate necklace with the crystal suspended on a fine chain. Each piece is handcrafted in our seaside Irish workshop and finished in sterling silver, gold filled or gold vermeil. 

Aquamarine is thought to encourage deep and meaningful communication, which makes it one of the most intentional stones to give to someone you share a real connection with. For a partner it carries centuries of romantic intention, and for a sister or best friend it speaks just as clearly – loyalty, calm, and the kind of clarity that only someone who truly knows you can bring. 

Many of our pieces can also be personalised with initials or engravings, making an aquamarine piece something entirely one of a kind. Explore our full birthstone jewellery collection inspired by every birth month, or shop by piece: birthstone necklaces, birthstone bracelets and birthstone earrings.
