Aquamarine Butterfly Pendant : Transformation Within

Aquamarine is the gemstone for March born, and March is a month that sees transformation everywhere. Spring is making subtle advances, Nature celebrates, and and it is time you would be celebrating birthdays too.

I find this aquamarine butterfly pendant most apt for a March born person. Butterflies represent transformation in Nature, and are symbolic of the soul transformation that a person undergoes. We are on a journey, and the journey takes us through keeping our faith as we undergo transformative processes in our lives.

Aquamarine Butterfly Pendant

Aquamarine is a gemstone that comes from Madagascar and Brazil. Preferred in greenish blue of bluish green varieties, the color of aquamarine is mostly pale blue in an overall impression. Legends relate to aquamarines originating in treasure chests of mermaids. There are beliefs that this is the sailors’ gemstone; as ancient Greek sailors used to wear aquamarine amulets to please Neptune, the sea God. It is believed that aquamarine rekindles love in a marriage and brings joy and wealth to the wearer.

Symbolism apart, this is one butterfly aquamarine and pink sapphire ring that I would love to have, though March born I am not.

Are you the heart of a sailor, or do you have the heart of one? All sailors of old wore aquamarines as amulets when they went to sea. March born or not, aquamarine is your gemstone if the color blue makes you heady and feel like you have a piece of the sea with you.

The basic color of aquamarine is light blue but it is found in all shades of seawater. The variation from light to dark blue with traces of green occurs as the color of two seas cannot be similar.

A deep blue aquamarine is the most valued of all aquamarines. There are people who prefer the greenish-blue or bluish-green hues of aquamarine because of the vivid colors; and these are the more affordable ones.

In an aquamarine, choose a higher carat. Large aquamarines are not very rare and a little increase in carat does not affect the price much, unlike diamonds. Moreover, the higher carat stones carry the best color.

While you could pick aquamarine jewelry for as low as below $ 250, if you like something tad higher and cash is question, opt for the easypay option on Angara and pay in three easy interest free installments.
