Double Dolphins is a 17 to 17 3/4 inch long necklace of 3mm Aquamarine round beads with a vintage Sterling Silver double Dolphin pendant from the Florida studio of Captain Smith. Aquamarine is March's birthstone and is truly a treasured gemstone. The length can vary as I've used a Sterling Silver 3/4 inch long extender with a Spring Ring clasp.

This necklace would be a wonderful anniversary, birthday or graduation gift. It could also be perfect for any holiday gift!

As per crystalvaults.com, "Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust, and letting go. In ancient lore, Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness, and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness. Today it protects all who travel by, over, or near water, and opens the channels of clear and heartfelt communication.

The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning “water of the sea,” and refers to its sparkling ocean-like color. The pale blue, transparent crystal is a member of the Beryl family. Its color, sometimes bluish green, is caused by iron oxides within the chemical makeup of the stone. Ancient seer considered it to be under the influence of the moon, an orb exerting very great magnetic influence. Present-day supporters of crystal-gazing suggest that when using an Aquamarine to view coming events, do so when the moon is increasing. The magnetism of the moon on the included iron oxides will strengthen the stone’s forecasting ability.

Aquamarine embodies all things connected to the sea, as well as those things relating to Heaven reflected on the surface of the water. It becomes a mirror, reflecting itself indefinitely, making it possible to discover hidden meanings of reality. As a stone of symmetries, it is conducive for meditation and revelation, a stone of prophets, shamans, healers, and mystics. It also allows us to explore the darkest depths of our souls, face to face with ourselves, and with others."

There are countless stories of how Dolphins have helped to heal, save or protect other animals and people. Together, the symbolism of the Dolphins together with the beauty and energy of the Aquamarine make this a simply powerful and lovely necklace!
