Aquamarine: The Modern March Birthstone

Calm. Clear. Contemporary.

Discover the beauty, meaning, and modern appeal of March’s iconic blue gemstone.

What Is Aquamarine?

Aquamarine is the official March birthstone — a luminous blue gemstone belonging to the beryl family, the same mineral group as emerald. Its name is derived from Latin words meaning “water of the sea,” a fitting description for its serene, ocean-inspired tone.

Known for its remarkable clarity and cool blue hues, aquamarine has long been admired for its clean brilliance and refined elegance. Unlike darker gemstones, aquamarine reflects light with an airy softness that feels effortless and modern.

Aquamarine Cuts & Shapes

Aquamarine’s clarity makes it exceptionally versatile across a range of cuts. Each shape highlights the gemstone’s natural brilliance in a distinct way.

Pear – Elegant and elongating, perfect for statement rings or pendants.
Emerald – Clean and architectural, emphasizing clarity and depth.
Oval – Soft brilliance with timeless appeal.
Cushion – Romantic and luminous with gentle sparkle.
Radiant – Contemporary and vibrant with enhanced light reflection.

Because aquamarine is typically eye-clean, step cuts such as emerald and elongated cushion cuts are especially striking, showcasing the stone’s transparency and cool tone.

Aquamarine Engagement Rings: A Modern Alternative

Aquamarine engagement rings offer a fresh interpretation of tradition. Their cool blue tone symbolizes clarity, calm, and emotional balance — qualities that resonate deeply in modern relationships.

Whether set in white gold, platinum, or surrounded by a diamond halo, aquamarine creates a distinctive engagement ring that feels refined and unforgettable.

For couples seeking something unique yet timeless, aquamarine offers both meaning and sophistication.

Understanding Aquamarine Color

Aquamarine ranges in color from pale sky blue to deeper, more saturated ocean tones. While lighter shades are beautifully delicate, medium to deeper blues are typically the most desirable.

Color intensity directly impacts value:

PALE BLUE
