Aquamarine Tales Part I: Stories of Healing, Connection & Some Truly Extraordinary Gems
I’ve always been captivated by the stories behind jewels and gems, so to celebrate March’s birthstone, I recently took to Instagram and asked my audience to share their most memorable aquamarine tales. I really wasn’t prepared for some of the answers! It seems like everyone who has worked with them has a story to tell, whether it’s recalling the excitement of acquiring a 100-carat Santa Maria aquamarine or reflecting on a life-changing experience with a happy ending—thanks, in part, to these beautiful blue gemstones.
Few gemstones capture the essence of tranquillity quite like aquamarine. With its ethereal blend of sky and sea, this quietly beautiful blue stone—a member of the beryl family—has long been revered for its clarity and soothing hues. So, let’s ‘dive into’ some of the stories below, and I’m sure, like me, you will be left wondering if some of these ancient legends might, in fact, be true.
This story is available to Katerina Perez Club members.
In the continuation of the story:
• Designers and cutters reveal aquamarine’s power to heal, enchant, and transform.
• From 807 facets to 13,000 carats — aquamarine through a designer’s eye.
• Serendipitous finds and soulful settings shape aquamarine’s enduring allure.
