The Gemstone of the Sea

This exquisite 5A+ quality strand is composed of beautiful 8mm faceted beads of natural Aquamarine, a variety of the beryl mineral family famed for its enchanting sea-blue color. Its name is derived from the Latin “aqua marina,” meaning “water of the sea,” a fitting tribute to its tranquil, oceanic hues. For centuries, this gemstone was treasured by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness, and protection on their voyages.

This strand from our Aquamarine collection offers the perfect material for crafting jewelry that embodies the soothing and cleansing spirit of the ocean.
