For March Birthdays Choose Aquamarine Jewellery

When looking for a gift suitable for a special occasion we generally want our friend, relative or loved one to have something different, something they can keep and look back on and something that is practical, allowing them to keep it with them at all times. Birthstone jewellery is the ideal gift for all occasions. Unlike regular jewellery where you can spend hours wondering if you have selected the right piece, birthstone jewellery couldn't be easier to select. To purchase these beautiful gifts the only information you will need is the month the recipient was born.

Birthdays

For people born in March you will require the aquamarine gemstone. This gorgeous blue eye catching gem is available on a wide range of stunning jewellery pieces. For example charm bracelets and necklaces, which can be worn in casually in the day time and can also complement a formal evening gown. Alternatively, for something a little more glamorous the choker styled aquamarine Swarovski crystal necklace is perfect for adding a sparkle to any outfit.

Christenings

To add a personal touch, birthstone jewellery can also be personalised with the name of a loved one. These can be either engraved onto a high quality silver or gold or can be spelled out using charm letters. Personalising your birthstone jewellery will add an extra special unique touch to your gift. Personalised birthstone jewellery is the ideal christening gift as most parents adore seeing the baby's name celebrated. For babies born in March, the D for Diamond Children's Birthstone Heart Bangle in aquamarine is the ideal christening present. These bangles can also come with a high quality gift box and have a sliding mechanism to easily fit babies and small children.

Anniversary

The aquamarine gemstone is also the 19th wedding anniversary gift. Nowadays many people consider the anniversary gift guide too old fashioned for the modern day gifts that are available. However, many of the gemstones on the traditional list can now be created into beautiful pieces of jewellery. To celebrate your anniversary in style it's a good idea to compliment your gift with a short intimate break. Aquamarine for instance is the colour of the sea. Therefore, why not plan a trip to your local beach or a weekend break to the South of France to celebrate your 19th wedding anniversary.

Mother's Day

As March is also the month for the traditional Mother's Day celebration, aquamarine jewellery would also be an appropriate present for your Mum or Grandma. Birthstone charm necklaces can be specially made with the birthstones of your choice. This will allow you to select the birthstones of all your Mum's children or close family, symbolising that they will be close at all times.

Birthstone history

If the appropriate birthstone is worn, it is often thought that these gemstones will bring good luck and protect their owners. Years ago astrologers would often attribute different meanings to each gemstone that was discovered. Aquamarine was said to cure heart, liver and stomach diseases when one drank the water in which the gem had been soaking. Many sailors believed that the aquamarine gemstone was very similar to the Neptune Sea God, which was thought to protect them against any danger in the ocean.

Birthstones are perfect presents for those wanting to give something unique and special. Selecting and purchasing these gifts could not be simpler, especially when you use an online supplier. Many suppliers of birthstone jewellery will even gift wrap your chosen design eliminating all the hard work that often comes with gift shopping.
