Used since antiquity, aquamarine was nicknamed "Sailor's Stone" and "Stone of Courage": it was known to protect sailors from drowning and guarantee their safety during a voyage.

Aquamarine comes from the Latin “aqua marina” which means seawater. It owes its name to its magnificent blue-green reflections which evoke the color of the sea and oceans.

Symbolically, aquamarine represents the mouth, which is used to communicate and breathe life into the soul. It also embodies water, the source of life.
