March Birthstone: Aquamarine

"A March born shall always be
Soothed by Aqua, gem of sea
This mermaid's treasured stone you wear
Will bring happiness, love, affection and care."

The beautiful lightly-colored Aquamarine is the traditional birthstone of March.  It represents faithfulness, courage and friendship.  

This necklace belongs to my daughter and is matched with earrings which were given to her when she "graduated" eighth grade.  It's a tradition in my family for the young women to receive a birthstone at that time.
