March jewelry ideas
Dainty pendant necklace
A small aquamarine solitaire or bezel pendant on a fine chain is the most popular March birthstone gift: easy to wear, easy to size, and usually under $60 in sterling silver or gold vermeil.
Birthstone ring
At 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, aquamarine is tough enough for an everyday ring.
Stacking or charm bracelet
Add a aquamarine charm to a bracelet, or choose a chain bracelet with tiny set stones. It's a nice way to add a stone for each new family member.
Flower + stone pieces
Many makers combine the daffodil with a aquamarine, like an engraved daffodil disc with a stone charm. These make the most personal March gift.
Buying tips
- Natural, lab-created or simulated: natural and lab-created stones are real gems. "Simulated" or "-ite" names usually mean glass or cubic zirconia.
- Metal: look for solid 14k gold, sterling silver (925) or gold vermeil. Avoid unmarked "gold-tone" pieces for daily wear.
- Care: Hard and durable, so it is great for engagement-style rings. Clean with warm soapy water.
- Alternatives: March also has bloodstone, which can be more affordable or offer a different color.

Questions, answered
What jewelry has the March birthstone?
March's birthstone is aquamarine. Popular pieces are pendant necklaces, stud earrings, rings and charm bracelets.
Is lab-created aquamarine real?
Lab-created gems have the same chemistry and look as mined ones and cost less. They're a great choice for birthstone jewelry. Just make sure the listing says "lab-created" rather than "simulated," which means glass or a different stone.
What metal goes with aquamarine?
Yellow gold warms up aquamarine, while white gold, platinum and sterling silver look crisp and modern. Match the metal to the jewelry the wearer already has.
