Just like the cool, crystal-clear seas around Orkney, aquamarines - the beautiful March birthstone - are the loveliest shade of blue.
Given their tranquil colouring, it's no surprise to learn their name comes from the Latin words aqua, meaning water, and marina – the sea. As the birthstone of March, aquamarine has long been associated with calm, clarity and protection.
Roman fishermen believed aquamarines possessed protective powers and many seafarers since have regarded them as talismans. It's also been said the gemstones – a variety of beryl, for the geologically minded – are mermaid treasures. Today, March birthstone rings continue that tradition, carrying a sense of serenity and quiet strength.
Within our collection, you'll find beautiful March birthstone jewellery, including rings, pendants and earrings, all set with natural aquamarines that capture the same clear, sea-blue tones.
Living in an island community, surrounded by the wildest and most beautiful seas, who are we to disagree with any of that?
