It feels so good to even be thinking the word
aquamarine, because it means that we’re talking March, and March is well on its way to spring. There’s still definitely that “in like a lion, out like a lamb” thing to contend with, but rest assured that winter will soon be a season we only start to long for when the holiday spirit kicks in once again not for many months.
The blue of aquamarine is the most apt hue to represent the season because it covers so many of its elements. Clear blue skies, the falling rain, even the snow. Such a versatile gemstone though it’s often worn to represent the month of one’s birth, its appeal reaches far beyond that.

I am in complete awe of most bugs and insects. In theory, or from behind glass, I’ll marvel at them, appreciating their wonder and everything they do for the Earth. But put one anywhere near me in real life and forget it I’m hightailing it out of there.
Jewelry featuring these winged (or multilegged) creatures is the safe, perhaps less frightening way to show your love for them, which is why I’m so often drawn to designs featuring their likenesses. It’s also around this time of year that we might start to miss the sight of them, our bodies aching for spring, the sunshine and the flowers that bloom with it.
