The name "aquamarine" is derived from two Latin words: aqua, meaning "water" and marina, meaning "of the sea".
It is the birthstone for those born in March.
Aquamarine, like Emerald, is part of the Beryl family of gemstones.
Fashioned aquamarines often have to be fairly large-generally over 5 cts- to show intense, dark color.
Brazil has been the world's most important source of gem-quality aquamarine since 1811. In 1910, the largest aquamarine on record was found in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It weighed 244 lbs and measured 19 inches long and 15 inches in diameter.
Also featured in this bracelet are silver Karen Hill Tribe beads. These beads are fine quality silver, 97% pure silver, compared to sterling silver which is 92.5% pure.
Karen Hill Tribe beads are skillfully crafted by artisans in Thailand. These artisans use traditional methods of silversmithing passed down from generation to generation.
