Aquamarine is a subtle, yet beautiful beryl mineral that means courage. It is thought to represent understanding, foresight, making new friends, and happiness. It is also thought to bring the wearer love, intelligence, and youth. Sailors covet this stone, because they believe that it will protect them while they are at sea, perhaps because of its color. The actual color of an aquamarine can vary from blue to blue-green. But it is typically a clear, subtle color. Its connection to the sea is appropriate, as aquamarine is derived from the Latin word meaning "water and sea". Long ago, it was thought that mermaids held aquamarines as their treasure.

You can get aquamarines in a variety of cuts and sizes in addition to a variety of colors. Like other gems, you can purchase a loose stone and have it placed in a ring setting, or you can purchase a ring with the stone already in place. You can find aquamarine rings for a variety of prices also. Just be sure as you are choosing the right ring for that special person. You don't want to accidently purchase a fake stone, colored glass, or plastic imposter.

When choosing any ring, you need to know its intended wearer's ring size. Get an idea of their personal tastes. Would they like a solitary birthstone ring, or would they like their birthstone accented with other gems, like diamonds? Do they like gold or silver? It may seem like you have to answer a hundred questions to find the right ring, but taking the extra steps will ensure that your special person loves their new ring. Birthstone rings should be a personal, meaningful gift. Picking something you know they will love will make it that much more important to them. Make sure they know what their birthstone means and how it is connected to them.

Aquamarine is also suggested as a gift for the 16th and 19th wedding anniversaries, just going to show that you don't have to give someone a birthstone on their birthday.
