About this Aquamarine bracelet
Aquamarine has been a talisman of courage for sailors and travellers for thousands of years. Ancient sailors traditionally carried the stone as protection against storms at sea, believing it was a gift from Neptune, god of the ocean. This rich historical connection to safe passage through uncertainty established aquamarine as the traditional stone of calm, considered bravery. Unlike fiercer courage stones, it is historically believed to instil the serene, unwavering confidence required to navigate prolonged periods of uncertainty without losing composure or direction.
This tranquil piece is a constant companion for expats in Grand Baie navigating life in a new country and medical professionals delivering difficult news to patients at local hospitals. Expertly assembled on smooth stretch elastic at our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet offers a cool, calming weight against the wrist. The clear, sea-toned beads provide an immediate visual anchor during moments of apprehension, prompting the wearer to breathe deeply and proceed with steady, grounded resolve.
History
In ancient lore, aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids and was traditionally carried by sailors to protect against shipwreck and ensure a safe, prosperous voyage. The ancient Romans also associated the crystal with the purification of water and emotional clarity. The stone's name is a direct translation from the Latin words 'aqua' and 'marina', meaning water of the sea.
