News from AJS and the Gems World
Aquamarine is the Birthstone for March
Aquamarine, the blue or turquoise variety of the mineral beryl, is the birthstone for the month of March. It is one of the classic colored gemstones, valued for its very good hardness and superb transparency. Aquamarine evokes the colors of the sea and the sky like few other gems, and has traditionally been a symbol of youth, health, hope and serenity.

You'll find that Aquamarines are often offered in larger sizes, with many specimens over 5 carats. The larger stones tend to have a richer color because of the longer light path. Though large Aquamarines are not uncommon, top grade stones of good color are rare and valuable in sizes over 10 carats.

What is your return policy on the closeout gems? Can I return or exchange one of these gems if I need to? NP, UK

This might seem like a strange question, but can I name a gem I purchase from you, and have the name appear on the certificate you send with the gem? MC, USA
Yes, if you would like to personalize your gem by giving it a name that is meaningful to you, please let us know when you place your order. We will then include the name on our AJS Gems certificate that accompanies your gem.
All the best in gems,
May, Arnold, Rung & Ron
