Aquamarine has often been attributed special properties and is associated with myths and legends. The Greeks and Romans believed it would protect sailors at sea during storms as well as from any other danger, such as the irresistible charm of mermaids encountered during voyages. Modern seamen have also subscribed to this ancient belief and during World War II the US navy christened a patrol boat the ‘USS Aquamarine’.

Whilst the symbolic importance of aquamarine has varied throughout the centuries, today, the gem is associated with trust, harmony, friendship and positive feelings and is the birthstone of March.
