Aquamarine, with its serene blue-green hues, has long been associated with the sea.

Some even thought aquamarine was the treasure of mermaids, carrying mystical properties.
In medieval Europe, aquamarine was used to promote clarity and wisdom, believed to help leaders and warriors make sound decisions. Ancient healers also revered it for its calming and purifying properties, using it to reduce stress and encourage emotional balance.
