Love for coloured stones Aquamarine jewellery , although this stone may not be as valuable as its Beryl cousin – the Emerald – it is no less beautiful and intense. The name comes from the Latin aqua marina meaning water of the sea and this seems very apt since colours of individual gems can vary from sea green to sky blue and dark blue. Sailors throughout the years have believed that wearing Aquamarine can keep them safe while at sea.
Wonderful Aquamarine in the rough.

Tallulah Cocktail Ring Aquamarine
Aquamarine also tends to have greater clarity than emeralds and is one of the only gemstones to have almost perfect naturally occurring clarity while maintaining a pleasing subtle colouring. Aquamarine as we most commonly encounter it (sky blue) hails predominately from Brazil, a country rich in fantastic minerals such as this, for example the biggest aquamarine gemstone ever discovered was found in brazil weighing 110kg!
It is a very accessible stone; perfect for pretty much all varieties of designer jewellery from cocktail rings to earrings thanks to its quiet simplicity, which also allows for compatibility with any skin tone. This stone is indeed a great summer colour.
