What is the March birthstone?
The March birthstone is traditionally Aquamarine, with Turquoise recognised as a beautiful alternative March birthstone. Turquoise is a vibrant blue gemstone long associated with protection, balance and calm energy. With its distinctive sky-blue to greenish tones, Turquoise has been admired and worn for over 6,000 years.
The Turquoise gemstone was revered by ancient civilisations including the Egyptians, Aztecs and Romans, who believed it offered protection and spiritual strength. Today, March birthstone jewellery featuring Turquoise remains a meaningful way to celebrate March birthdays, anniversaries and personal milestones.
What colour is the birthstone for March?
The March birthstone colour for Turquoise ranges from bright sky blue to greenish-blue hues. Its iconic cyan shade is created by copper within the stone, while traces of iron can produce greener tones. Natural matrix patterns — delicate black or brown veining — give each Turquoise gemstone its own distinctive character.
Whether styled in silver Turquoise jewellery for a fresh, vibrant finish or paired with warm gold tones for contrast, Turquoise jewellery brings a bold yet calming pop of colour to any collection.

Where is Turquoise found?
The Turquoise gemstone forms in arid regions where copper-rich minerals interact with groundwater over time. Major sources of natural Turquoise include China, the United States, Iran and parts of the Middle East.
Because Turquoise forms naturally with unique patterns and colour variations, no two pieces of natural Turquoise jewellery are ever exactly alike. This individuality adds to its charm and collectability.

How do you clean and care for Turquoise jewellery?
Proper care is essential to preserve the colour and integrity of Turquoise, as it is a naturally porous gemstone.
To clean:
- Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap
- Rinse gently with clean water
- Allow to air dry completely
Avoid:
- Harsh chemicals and household cleaners
- Ultrasonic or steam cleaners
- Prolonged water exposure
- Direct sunlight and extreme heat
- Oils, perfumes and lotions
Because Turquoise can absorb oils and chemicals, always apply makeup and skincare products before wearing Turquoise jewellery. Store pieces separately in a cool, dry place to prevent scratches and discoloration.
With thoughtful care, your March birthstone Turquoise jewellery will retain its vibrant blue tones and natural beauty for years to come.
