This pendant is made of Brazilian Aquamarine and hand-wrapped in 14 gauge sterling silver wire.

Aquamarine is an aquamarine (italian word for seawater) blue gemstone in the beryl family with the chemical composition of emerald. Pale blue and aqua green are associated with the sea. Ancient cultures honored it as protection, especially for sailors - the Greeks, Romans, Sumerians and Egyptians. Rome thought carving a frog on aquamarine would reconcile enemies. In Middle Ages, aquamarine was used for fortune telling - messages were read from gazing balls or crystals suspended over water.
