Aquamarine Engagement Rings & Aquamarine Rings

Aquamarine engagement rings are fascinatingly beautiful. Like all aquamarine rings they can range in color from the lightest blue of the sky to the deepest blues of the ocean and are a favorite stone of modern designers. The aquamarine name literally means water and sea and is March's official birthstone.

Because the color of the stone is so predominantly found in nature, the aquamarine is thought of as divine and eternal. It compliments all skin tones and has a long history with women across the globe.

Legend has it that the wearer of the stone will enjoy wealth and joy, happy relationships and good marriages. 

Since the stone itself is usually light in color, clarity is an important factor. Like with diamonds, clarity refers to the amount of inclusions (or imperfections) found within the stone which may or may not be visible to the naked eye. The better the clarity, the better the stone.

The next thing to consider is color. As a rule of thumb, the darker the aquamarine the more expensive the stone will be. That doesn't mean that you should stay away from the lighter shades.

We actually prefer the lighter colored stones over the darker ones, especially for aquamarine engagement rings because of the brilliance the lighter stones emit. The light color sparkles and is fiery giving them a similar look to the traditional diamond engagement ring but with that added twist of a touch of blue.

Aquamarines are usually set in white gold, silver or platinum. Occasionally, you will come across a few that are set with yellow gold. The yellow gold settings will give a vintage or more old fashioned feel to an aquamarine ring so keep that in mind when choosing your ring.

Our personal preference, especially when it comes to aquamarine engagement rings, is that they be set in a white metal with accent diamonds. There's just something about the combination of all the ice-cool colors of the stone, diamonds and metal in aquamarine rings that really set them apart from all the other birthstone rings.

We're hoping to include some really nice examples here so stay tuned.
