The Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and at John Wallick Jewelers in Sun City, Arizona near Glendale and Phoenix, AZ we carry beautiful blue to greenish blue aquamarines and custom aquamarine jewelry.

Aquamarine comes from the Beryl family of gem species. Its cousins are the Emerald and the Morganite. Aquamarine is a relatively hard stone that has a Mohr’s Hardness of 7.5-8 and it is a gem that is able to be worn every day and can be easily worn in rings, pendants and earrings. Aquamarine major mine sources are located in Afghanistan, Africa, China, India, Pakistan, Russia, and South America.

The Gem of the Sea:

Derived from the Latin word aqua marina, meaning water of the sea, aquamarines, according to myth and legends, originated in the treasure chest of mermaids and has since been regarded as the sailor’s lucky stone. To those who sail the seven seas, the Aquamarine stone was thought to bring them GOOD LUCK and was believed to keep sailors safe and guard against storms.

It is known for its range of serene, oceanic shades from pastel to medium light blue-green or light green to a deep blue. Even aquamarine’s blues have a green tinge. The color of aquamarine can be quite intense in larger sizes, while it is often less vivid in smaller ones. Differences in shade and depth of color have an effect on its value. A gem that is a deep blue and void of internal birthmarks is considered most valuable.

March’s birthstone, the aquamarine is the recognized gift for the 18th wedding anniversary, believed to reawaken love, kindle friendships and elevate the spirit.

Famous Aquamarine Gemstones

In 1910 the Dom Pedro aquamarine crystal was found in Brazil. It weighed 243 pounds and was so transparent that objects could be seen through its long dimension of nineteen inches. It is presently on display in the Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Some of the finest Aquamarine exists now in the jewelry of the British Royal Family.

Aquamarine is routinely heated to remove yellow components. To clean aquamarines use warm soapy water and a soft brush. Mechanical cleaners are generally safe. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals. Ask your jeweler for details regarding special enhancements and care.

John and his staff have been nothing but wonderful to work with. I was referred to them by multiple family members and it’s always been such a great experience every time. They are always friendly, transparent, and offer great prices on jewelry along with repair. Turn around time has always been quick as well. 10/10

I love this family owned jeweler. They have been my jewelers for almost 10 years now. Most recent was creating my cross-over ring for me out of my wedding sets. I wanted something special to represent the passing of my husband. The work is SUPERB!! They will continue to be my till the day they close, which I hope is never!

So I got an amazing Citizen dive watch from Johnny several years ago and I love it! Well, I'm really rough on it and I broke the band recently... I was so bummed out. I called Johnny and he said drop it off and we'll inspect and repair it as needed. Wow, Johnny took care of it and I'm so excited as I can finally wear my dive watch again. Thank you Johnny and John Wallick Jewelers - you love what you do and it shows! PS: my wife still gets compliments on her wedding ring diamond that you upgraded for us some 20 or so years ago. Thanks! Rich
