22 Incredible Aquamarine Jewelry Pieces

For centuries, aquamarine’s mesmerizing azure blue color and crystal-like clarity have made the stone a timeless symbol of youth, hope, and eternal life. 

The name “aquamarine” is made up of the Latin words “aqua,” meaning “water” and “marine,” meaning “sea.” The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the stone was favored by the sea god Poseidon (Neptune) and would toss aquamarine amulets into the waters to assure a safe voyage. 

Aquamarine is considered to exude a soothing effect, clear the mind, and aid focus. Celebrities, royals, and politicians alike have fallen under the stone’s spell. 

Famous aquamarine jewels include Queen Elizabeth’s Aquamarine Tiara and the Roosevelt Aquamarine once gifted to Mrs. Roosevelt by the president of Brazil. 

For this article, we have chosen 20 exceptional pieces of aquamarine jewelry to bring the stone’s bewitching charm into your life.
