As the winter frost begins to thaw, the world turns its eyes toward the serene, crystalline blues of March’s iconic birthstone: Aquamarine.
At Hepburn & Hughes, we don’t just sell jewellery – we curate pieces that tell a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the calming energy of the sea. If you’re looking for the perfect birthday gift or a timeless addition to your collection, here is everything you need to know about why sterling silver aquamarine jewellery epitomises elegance.
The Attraction of the "Sea Water" Stone
The name Aquamarine is derived from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning "water of the sea." For centuries, sailors carried these gems to protect them on long voyages. Today, the stone is celebrated for its stunning clarity and its range of hues—from a whisper of minty blue to a deep, soulful teal.
Why choose Sterling Silver for your Aquamarine?
While gold offers a warm contrast, 925 Sterling Silver is the preferred choice for many gemstone experts. The cool, bright lustre of silver acts like a mirror, reflecting the stone's internal facets and enhancing its natural icy brilliance without tinting the colour.
Styling Your March Birthstone
Aquamarine is incredibly versatile. Because of its neutral blue undertones, it pairs beautifully with:
-
Spring Pastels: Lavenders, soft greens, and creams.
-
Professional Attire: A simple pair of aquamarine earrings add a touch of calm sophistication to a navy blazer.
-
Bridal Wear: Known as a stone of "everlasting youth and happiness," it is the perfect "Something Blue" for spring brides.
Why Trust Hepburn & Hughes?
We pride ourselves on sourcing stunning gemstones and using high-grade 925 sterling silver that is nickel-free. Our silversmiths treat every setting as a work of art, ensuring that your March birthstone piece isn't just a seasonal accessory, but a lifelong heirloom.
