Aquamarine, a distant relation of the more famous emerald, becomes a jewellery feature of choice at the Jewel Hut this month with its position as the birthstone of the first month of spring.
The March birthstone, which is a distant relation of the more famous emerald, is a central feature of a selection of jewellery available at the popular website.
This pale blue crystal has a reputation as being a largely flawless gem, something its more costly Beryl family counterpart, the emerald, finds it impossible to match. Large deposits of this semi-precious stone are found all over the world, with particularly beautiful and coveted variations being found in areas of Brazil and Mozambique.
Aquamarine has been a sought-after jewel for many hundreds of years, with its modern name being derived from the Latin description granted to it by the early Romans, with “aqua” meaning water, and “mare” meaning sea.
Whilst mystics over the years have attributed it with various magical powers, ranging from healing to the ability to resurrect love affairs, the opinion of most in the 21st century is simply that its brilliant colour and the myriad of ways it can be cut and fashioned for jewellery can lift the spirits of the person wearing it by accentuating their style.
The Jewel Hut offers a wide range of aquamarine jewellery, not only in its Birthstone collection, but also in its branded collections. It is a well-known supplier of the world-famous Pandora phenomenon and other high end designer labels, such as Links of London, Thomas Sabo and Tresor Paris.
The site, which has over the past month undergone a major redesign, showcases a variety of jewellery items for men and women, as well as designer sunglasses.
