How to Find Correct Aquamarine

Aquamarine is a variety of the mineral beryl, the same family as emerald. Its name comes from the Latin words “aqua marina,” meaning “sea water,” a nod to its captivating ocean-like color. Ranging from pale blue to deep blue-green, aquamarine’s color is influenced by traces of iron within the crystal. It is a durable gemstone, ranking 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it suitable for everyday wear

How Its Value Vary

The 4Cs of Aquamarine: 
  1. Color: The most important factor in aquamarine’s value is its color. The most prized stones exhibit a deep, vivid blue or blue-green hue. Lighter tones are more common and generally more affordable.
  2. Clarity: Aquamarine is known for its excellent clarity. Most stones are eye-clean, meaning they have no visible inclusions, which enhances their brilliance and value.
  3. Cut: The cut of an aquamarine can greatly influence its beauty. Skilled cuts maximize the gem’s color and sparkle, with popular shapes including emerald, oval, and round cuts.
  4. Carat Weight: Aquamarine is available in a wide range of sizes, and larger stones are relatively more affordable compared to other gemstones like diamonds or emeralds. This makes it an excellent choice for statement pieces.

Why Choose Aquamarine?

Affordability: Compared to other gemstones, aquamarine offers exceptional beauty at a more accessible price point, making it an ideal choice for those seeking elegance without breaking the bank.
Versatility: Its serene color complements both silver and gold settings, making it a versatile choice for rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
