Aquamarine is a member of the Beryl family of gemstones which also includes emeralds and morganites. Named for sea water, their color ranges from pale to deeply saturated hues of aqua and teal. Aquamarines are primarily mined in Brazil but have recently been discovered in Pakistan. They are known for their calming qualities which has made them popular with sailors over the years and as gifts to promote long healthy marriages. Today, they’re mostly recognized as the birthstone for March although increasingly, brides are looking to aquamarine as an alternative to a diamond center stone in an engagement ring. Caring for aquamarine jewelry is simple. Just make sure to keep it away from heat or any activities that may cause a strike or blow to the stone. Cleaning should be done with warm soapy water though ultrasonic or steam cleaners are usually safe. Try styling your aquamarine jewelry with other pastel gemstones such as morganite, opal, and quartz for a soft, springy look!
Aquamarines are the traditional birthstone for March, combining both the tranquil waters of the Pisces and the clarity of the Aries’s honesty.

Aquamarines are a splendid choice for commemorating the nineteenth wedding anniversary, symbolizing the serene and harmonious essence of a marriage that has navigated through many years of partnership. This gemstone, with its captivating shades of sea blue, embodies the tranquility, clarity, and courage that are quintessential for sustaining a loving and supportive relationship over the years.

Recently, alternative gemstone engagement rings have been becoming more and more popular. Today’s bride-to-be wants a ring that expresses her individuality and personal aesthetic. Aquamarines make beautiful center stones for engagement rings. Most jewelers though would caution a potential buyer that they require more careful handling than a diamond would. An aquamarine engagement ring should always be taken off before any activities that involve work with the hands such as laundry, weightlifting, or home repairs. A good rule of thumb is that is to take your ring off at home when you take off your shoes. Try keeping a ring stand in every room to help you keep track of it. If handled properly though, an engagement ring with an aquamarine center stone can last for generations. Shop the selection of aquamarine rings at Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry.
