Shimmering Aquamarine
Aquamarine is a beautiful blue
coloured stone with legendary
connections to the seas. The
name derives from the Latin
‘aqua’ meaning water and ‘mare’
meaning sea, and the ancient
Greeks and Romans considered
it the gem of the sea and a lucky
charm for sailors. In medieval
times Aquamarine was a symbol
of a happy marriage, and was also

believed to bring joy and wealth.
Aquamarine jewellery has a
wonderful summery feel and
is perfect if you are looking for
something a little bit different.
The beautiful Parkhouse
Aquamarine and diamond
cluster earrings feature an oval
cut Aquamarine with diamonds
and 18ct white gold.

Fiery Tanzanite
Discovered only 50 years ago,
Tanzanite is still relatively new
to the world of jewellery, but has
made quite the entrance.
Found only in the foothills of
Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, local
Maasai tribesmen tell legends of
the land being struck by lightning
and setting crystals in the ground
on fire to create these sensational,
vibrant blue gems. Tanzanite

is rare, a thousand times rarer
than diamonds, with supplies
predicted to last only another 30
years. With its magical, captivating
colour, Tanzanite jewellery is
sure to attract attention, exuding
confidence and individuality.
This stunning Tanzanite ring
from Parkhouse has an oval
Tanzanite stone surrounded by a
diamond halo on 18ct white gold.
