So what is so special about Aquamarine?
The name aquamarine is derived from the Latin word aqua, meaning water, and marina, meaning the sea. This gemstone was believed to protect sailors, as well as to guarantee a safe voyage. The serene color of aquamarine is said to cool the temper and allow the wearer to remain calm. Its pale, cool color easily complements the summer wardrobe and brightens up every mum’s day.
