Known as the gem of the sea, the name ‘Aquamarine’ comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning “water of the sea,” It is popularly known as the birthstone for March. I’ve incorporated Aquamarine beads into necklaces and bracelets in the Water Element collection

The Lake Isle of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made; Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. excerpt by William Butler Yeats
