Aquamarine 12mm Bracelet – AC-178

Strung by hand in 12mm aquamarine beads and finished on a stretch cord, this bracelet is built to be worn rather than kept in a box.

The tone here runs pale sea-foam blue through to deeper teal. A member of the beryl family. Larger pieces tend to hold the stronger blue, and fine material is eye-clean with a glassy clarity that shows the polish well.

Beads are polished individually, then checked for size and finish before stringing. Slight differences in tone, translucency and internal texture are normal in natural stone and are part of what distinguishes it from synthetic material.

The name comes from the Latin for seawater. Travellers carried aquamarine through the Roman and medieval periods, and it is the traditional birthstone for March.

Named for seawater, aquamarine was carried by travellers for centuries as a token of safe passage. Its pale blue belongs to the part of the palette that reads as open and unhurried, and many people wear it as a personal symbol of steadiness rather than for any property of the stone.

Easy to wear daily: substantial enough to read as jewellery, light enough to forget you have it on. It stacks well alongside both pale and dark strands.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear and store away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the colour. Avoid contact with perfumes, chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.

The cultural associations described above come from traditional lore, folk custom and personal sentiment. This is a natural mineral piece sold as jewellery, and nothing here is intended as a medical or therapeutic claim.
