Another popular legend said King Neptune gave aquamarines as gifts to mermaids, which gave them a certain aura as a gift of endearment. This makes it a lovely anniversary gift.
Aquamarine is a type of beryl, which is a very hard stone. As we all know, diamond is the hardest of all the stones. Right beneath that are emerald, Ruby and Sapphire. They are just a little less hard than diamonds. Emerald is a type of beryl as well. So, while aquamarine cannot be considered a "precious" gem, since only diamonds, sapphires, emeralds and rubies fall into that category, it is still a highly prized stone, and can be quite expensive.
Romans and Greeks of ancient times believed aquamarines brought about a sense of peace and tranquility. For ages now, people have believed that aquamarine attracts positive energy into their lives. Isn't that a delightful gift to give someone with a March birthday? And even better if it's a piece handmade and unique, like this one made by Manya Vee herself (aka me!).
This beautiful pieces features two strands of lovely aquamarine stones. One strand has smooth round stones while the other has tiny faceted stones. The contrasting smooth and faceted aspects are visually pleasing, and enhance the pendant, which is a very amazing labradorite pendant. This pendant has the most amazing fire in it, and seems alive when it moves on the wearer's body.
Labradorite is said to repel negativity, so paired with aquamarine and it's ability to attract positive energy, this necklace is a piece to wear every day!
