This week we are looking at the March birthstone: aquamarines! Like emeralds, aquamarines are part of the beryl family and come in a variety of blues and light blue-greens reminiscent of water. Hence their rather nautical name! They are rumored to calm the sea, heal ailments, and grant happiness to newlyweds. In today's newsletter, we have a collection of both aquamarines and "aquamarine" to share with you, along with a selection of a lesser known March birthstone; bloodstones!

Bloodstones, also calledheliotrope, are part of the chalcedony family and are characterized by their deep green hue and bright red inclusions, resembling drops of blood. Bloodstones are associated with strength, courage, sacrifice, and healing. They were popularly used in Scottish kilt pins and brooches, as well as fobs and seals in the Victorian era.
