Frequently asked questions about March birthstones

What is March's birthstone? 

Aquamarine is the March birthstone. Treasured by ancient sailors to help ensure safe voyages, the serene blue-green gemstone adds a spring-like feel to this transitional month. 

What color is March's birthstone? 

Aquamarine ranges in shades from pale, almost colorless blue to blue-green. Aquamarines also have variations in tone and saturation, from soft pastel blues to deeper, more vivid blue-green shades depending on the stone’s characteristics.

What does aquamarine symbolize? 

Much like the ocean, aquamarine represents serenity and calmness, along with hope and courage. The exquisite blue gemstones are an easy way to infuse any piece of March birthday jewelry with that same sense of calm and hope. 

Is aquamarine a good engagement ring?

Aquamarine can make a beautiful engagement ring, offering a distinctive blue-green color perfect for couples who want a unique look. While it’s suitable for everyday wear, its durability rating on the Mohs scale ranges from 7.5 to 8. Since it’s a bit softer than a diamond, consider an engagement ring with a more protective setting, like a halo or bezel.

How do you clean aquamarine jewelry? 

To clean an aquamarine ring, you’ll simply need warm water mixed with a few drops of mild soap. Use a soft-bristled brush to gently loosen any debris, and then pat dry with a soft cloth. Be sure to avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners or extreme heat.
