Aqua Marine Jewelry & Fashion Blog Posts
Apparel Search fashion blog — blog posts about aquamarine jewelry and the aqua marine color.
Aquamarine is a color that is a bluish tint of cerulean toned toward cyan — a shade between green and blue and clear — and it is named after the mineral aquamarine, a gemstone mainly found in granite rocks. Aquamarine, from Latin aqua marina, "water of the sea", is a blue or cyan variety of beryl; it occurs at most localities which yield ordinary beryl. This page is the aqua marine index for the Apparel Search fashion blog: it collects the blog's aqua marine post, links a short reference on the color cyan, and points readers to the amethyst blog page, its companion among the gemstone color indexes, and to the aquamarine jewelry guides below.

About Aquamarine in Fashion
Aquamarine lives in fashion as both a stone and a color name, and the two uses reinforce each other. As a gemstone, aquamarine is the March birthstone: a clear blue to blue-green beryl set into earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets, usually in white metal or silver-toned settings that keep the watery color cool. The post collected here — Ali Fedotowsky wearing Melissa Lovy earrings — is the jewelry side of the subject: pale blue stones worn as a light, summery accent. As a color, aquamarine names a soft blue-green that clothing and swimwear designers return to whenever a sea-glass palette comes around; it photographs as fresh and clean, which is why the color name survives in fashion long after most shoppers stop connecting it to the mineral.
