A beautiful aquamarine ring from the historic Michael Anthony Jewelers. The Corbo family, Michael Anthony Jewelers, has a long history in jewelry that started in Naples, Italy dating back to the late 1800's. Michael Corbo Sr. opened the Willowbrook store in Wayne, NJ in 1969. In 1978, he branched out from Corbo Jewelers and founded Michael Anthony Jewelers..Named after the color of sea water, aquamarine is the blue to blue-green member of the beryl family. Readily available and moderately priced, the modern March birthstone makes an excellent jewelry stone. Ancient people believed aquamarine to be the sole treasure of mermaids, so it was often worn by sailors and seafaring travelers as a protective charm against shipwrecks and to prevent seasickness. Brimming with amazing healing properties, Aquamarine crystals sparkle with the soft shimmer of healing vibes. Considering the human body is made up of seventy per cent water, perhaps it comes as no surprise that this ocean bright stone was born to be in our possession.
