As a talisman of travellers, garnets are commonly known to hold the power to protect their wearer from negative energies and deflect said energies back to their origins.

While aquamarine is less popular than other gems, it is still highly sought after for its beautiful hue and crystal structure. Back in the day, it was said that many sailors would bring aquamarines on their voyages for many reasons including getting a good night’s rest and warding off poisons by keeping one in their pocket while eating. While we may not know how true that is, aquamarines are also said to inspire harmony in your marriage – which makes it a great gift if you’re planning to surprise a new bride or even for your mother.
