Aquamarine Bracelet XI (8mm)

Aquamarine has been used by the ancient Romans as protection against the perils of the sea. According to legend, the Roman god of the sea, Poseidon, sent a jewel-encrusted chariot pulled by seahorses over the cresting ocean waves with an Aquamarine gemstone in tow every full moon. This became known as the "Aqua Maris" - the sea-water gemstone. The ancient Greeks believed it to be the treasure of mermaids, and many kept a piece of Aquamarine with them while traveling in boats so they could summon a mermaid if they were ever in need.

These glimmering gems of the sea come in a range of colors, but we specialize in very light blues to intense deep blue tones. Their high refractive index creates a dazzling sparkle that brings out its unique hue even better.
