Loose Gemstones Aquamarine

Refreshing Ocean-Inspired Hues

The word “aquamarine,” named after the Latin words “aqua marina,” meaning "sea water," lives up to its moniker with refreshing blue hues. From pale sky blue to deeper greenish-blue tones, these natural aquamarine gemstones offer a range of colors. The soothing shades evoke the tranquility of clear waters, making aquamarine jewelry a popular choice for both enthusiasts and collectors.

Aquamarine's delicate yet striking hues are perfect for any occasion, offering an ethereal touch of nature's beauty. Whether you’re looking for a bold statement or a subtle accent, aquamarine can seamlessly complement your style.

Exceptional Clarity and Durability of Aquamarine Gemstones

Aquamarine gems are prized for their clarity and brilliance, often eye-clean with light-catching beauty. With a 7.5-8 Mohs hardness, they’re durable for everyday jewelry like rings, earrings, and necklaces.

Quality and Value

The value of aquamarine stones depends on several factors, including color intensity, clarity, cut, and carat weight. While deeper blue colors often command a premium price, lighter colors can be equally beautiful and more affordable. Most aquamarine gems undergo heat treatment to enhance their blue color, a common and accepted practice in the industry.

Shapes and Cuts

Aquamarine gemstones are available in various shapes and cuts. Popular options include oval, emerald cut, round, and pear shapes. The emerald cut, in particular, showcases the stone's clarity and color beautifully. Each cut highlights different features of the gemstone, allowing for a wide range of design possibilities.

Whether you prefer a classic round shape or a bold emerald cut, aquamarine offers versatility in design while maintaining its stunning visual impact.

Sourcing and Rarity

Natural aquamarine is primarily mined in Brazil, Madagascar, and Mozambique. While not as rare as some gemstones, high-quality, large-carat-weight aquamarines can be considered treasures in the gemstone world.
