This is an exciting one-of-a-kind JL necklace designed and created around this stunning 56 carat aquamarine cabochon gemstone.   The warm 14K Yellow gold setting and chain highlight the stone cut and color.  Jill found this stone at the 2023 Tucson Gem Show.   We haven't seen anything quite like this in New York over the years! 
 
Fun Facts:  The name aquamarine is derived from two Latin words:  aqua meaning "water" and marine meaning "the sea".  This may be why we think of a perfect, refreshing plunge into the azure sea or a delightful pool on a hot, sunny day.   Like emerald, aquamarine is a color variety of the beryl mineral.  It has been said that it makes the wearer unconquerable, amiable, and improves intellect.  Folklore says that it calms waves and keeps sailors safe at sea.  It even has been credited with increasing happiness in marriage!  The clarity of the stone symbolizes purity of spirit and soul.  It's origin is in mines in Pakistan's Karakoram Mountains.  It's hardness on the Moh's scale is 7.5 to 8.  
Aquamarine is the March birthstone and the gem for the 19th wedding anniversary.
