The History of Aquamarine

Known for its calming beauty and symbolic connection to the sea, ancient sailors believed Aquamarine offered protection and safe passage across waters. Throughout history it has been associated with clarity, harmony, and courage. Favoured by royalty and collectors alike, aquamarine continues to bring its tranquil elegance into contemporary jewellery designs.

Natural Origins & Characteristics

Aquamarine forms within granite and pegmatite rocks, developing its clear blue to blue-green tones through trace amounts of iron. Its crystal structure often results inexcellent clarity, giving the stone a light, transparent appearance. Notable sources include Brazil, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Mozambique.
