The light blues of aquamarine shimmer like the hues of the ocean. In fact, aquamarine comes from "sea water" in Latin. Sailors once carried this stone to protect them on the open waters; they believed the stone to be a gift from the mermaids. Ladies, we shouldn't let this delicate stone go to waste; these greenish blue tones are perfectly suited for complementing a woman's neck. These blue green hues will fall gracefully around your neck. This Three Strand Aquamarine Necklace packs in 460 carats of aquamarine strung in three luscious strands. Unlike typical single strand aquamarine necklaces, this one offers three lengthy strands. Each piece of aquamarine reflects the calming waves of the open seas. The necklace measures 20" with a 2" extender and fastens with a lobster claw clasp.
