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.

Aquamarine as a Centerpiece in Jewelry

Thanks to its affordability and availability in larger sizes, aquamarine is often used as a centerpiece in jewelry designs. Its striking color and clarity make it a standout gem, whether set in a solitaire ring, a pendant, or an elaborate statement piece. Pair it with diamonds or other complementary gemstones for a truly breathtaking creation
