If she loves blue than aquamarines are the gemstone for her! Aquamarine comes from the Latin phrase “water of the sea,” so named because ofits blue to blue-green color. Because aquamarines are a relatively hard gemstone (8 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale) they are an excellent choice for jewelry to wear every day. Lore has it that aquamarines have the power to help couples smooth out any differences, so it’s easy to see why it’s the recommended gemstone for the 19th wedding anniversary! 
Ranging from pale blue to dark blue, aquamarines with a deeper hue of blue are usually higher priced than the lighter colors but all shades are beautiful in jewelry. Unscrupulous people have been known to pass off blue topaz as the rarer aquamarine. Leo Hamel’s Graduate Gemologists have been trained to recognize superb aquamarines of the finest quality.
