Aquamarine first appears in Greek historical record (in lapidary form, no less) around 480 – 300 B.C. Then, it was referenced as “sea-green beryl”. Think of it as emerald’s blue cousin!
Many ancient cultures believed it would ensure safe and successful travels to sailors - and protect from seasickness and sea monsters. Aquamarine was the sacred jewel of Poseidon (Greek) and Neptune (Roman), whose origin was from the treasure chests of mermaids.
To Egyptians and Sumerians, it symbolized happiness and eternal youth. During the Middle Ages, it was used for divination and very much in vogue as the most potent material for crystal balls.
Whatever they may symbolize for you today, we’ve outlined points to help you understand value and what to ask to make an informed decision on the aquamarine you will LOVE!
