March birthstone necklace in silver, sterling silver aquamarine pendant

Aquamarine is the blue variety of the mineral beryl. Traditionally aquamarine is used as the birthstone for March. As with many blue gemstones, crystal collectors attribute aquamarine with symbolising calm and tranquillity. It is said to be an excellent aid for meditation, helping to focus the mind and sharpen intuition. It has also traditionally been given as a talisman for safe travel over water making this a thoughtful gift for someone planning to travel overseas. This pretty sterling silver pendant features a tapering column of natural aquamarine beads, intricately hand wrapped in a delicate continuous twist of sterling silver wire which forms a framework around the stones. It is finished with an 18 inch sterling silver trace chain ready to wear or gift. I make these pendants to order using 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm beads and overall they measure around 38 mm to the top of the jump ring by 9 mm wide. As they are made to order they will vary slightly from the illustrative photography. Please check sizes carefully as I use close up photography to show the details of my work. All my jewellery comes in a high quality gift box, finished with tissue and ribbon. Matching items are available to purchase separately.
