Capturing the beauty of the deep ocean water, an aquamarine does complete justice to its name. This charming gemstone is considered to be a sailor’s lucky charm and treasure of the mermaids.

This is an undeniable plus that makes aquamarine, the gorgeous March birthstone, a bright and just right addition to your bridal outfit.

Blue Topaz

Next up is blue topaz, a unique gemstone that is available not in one but two stunning shades of blue. The greenish-blue variety is known as London blue topaz whereas the tropical blue gem is called Swiss blue topaz. Each of these gems is fascinating in its own right and has amassed its share of popularity due to its vibrant hue. So, if you are looking for your glittering ‘something blue’ that is pocket-friendly too then blue topaz is your best bet.

Turquoise

Believed to be one of the oldest gemstones known to man, turquoise is certainly a sight to behold. It exudes a vivid blue shade that reminds us of the bright blue summer sky. Since its discovery, this gem was considered special. The Egyptians even called it ‘mefkat’ or the ‘gem of joy’. Along with its unforgettable hue, this blue jewel also has a rich history and is said to symbolize good luck and fortune.

Hence, turquoise is a great choice if you want to add an extra bit of luck and make a lasting impression on your wedding day.

Tanzanite

Discovered in the 1960s and named after its sole place of origin, tanzanite is a visual treat. It has been conferred with titles like ‘most important gemstone discovery’ and ‘most beautiful blue gemstone’. In this short duration, tanzanite has gained immense popularity and now is a close competitor of the Big 4 gems of the jewelry industry. To top all this, tanzanite is believed to be completely mined out in the coming 25-30 years. Thus, this could be your only chance to partake in history and make this rare, exotic gem a part of your special day.
