The first day of March always gets me excited for spring. Not only warmer temperatures, spring colors, and spring dresses but also the gorgeous March birthstone, Aquamarine!
This color is such a breath of fresh air after getting through the dull winter months. I love aqua in fashion, home décor, and of course jewelry! This color is stunning and complimentary on many skin tones and can be seen all over the red carpet.
