March is a month of transition, as winter fades and spring begins to bloom. Those born in this month are fortunate to have two beautiful birthstones to represent them: Aquamarine and Bloodstone. These two distinct gems carry deep historical significance, powerful symbolism, and stunning beauty. At Johnston Jewelers, we celebrate these timeless stones with a curated collection of exquisite birthstone jewelry perfect for March birthdays or anyone drawn to their allure.
Aquamarine: The Gem of the Sea
Meaning and Symbolism
Aquamarine, with its mesmerizing blue hues, is often associated with tranquility, clarity, and protection. Its name is derived from the Latin words aqua marina, meaning “water of the sea,” reflecting its oceanic shades and calming energy. This gemstone is believed to bring peace, courage, and clear communication, making it a powerful stone for those seeking harmony in their lives.
Historical Significance
Aquamarine has been cherished since ancient times. The Greeks and Romans revered it as a talisman for sailors, believing it ensured safe voyages and protection from the wrath of the sea. In the Middle Ages, it was thought to enhance intellect and foresight, while in modern times, it symbolizes youth, health, and hope.

Meaning and Symbolism
Bloodstone, a striking dark green gem with red speckles, is often linked to strength, courage, and vitality. The red flecks resemble drops of blood, inspiring the belief that this stone carries protective and healing properties. It is associated with boosting energy, enhancing endurance, and promoting resilience in the face of challenges.
Historical Significance
Throughout history, bloodstone was revered as a powerful amulet. Ancient warriors carried it into battle, believing it could stop bleeding and grant invincibility.
