The March birthstone, aquamarine, with its sea blue-green hue, is particularly mystifying. Aquamarine is rare and precious and is associated with courage, calm, clarity and tolerance.

Each aquamarine cluster strand is made by hand and is as different as each aquamarine stone included. Aquamarines are strung on wire, making between a 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 inch length of stones.

Chains are gold-filled or sterling silver and measure approximately 17 inches long including the length of stones. Longer or shorter chains are available upon request.

Birthstone cluster strand necklaces are made by hand at Bang-Up Betty’s North Little Rock, Arkansas, studio.
