What is aquamarine, and how does it get its color?

Aquamarine is a blue to blue-green variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald. Its serene color comes from trace amounts of iron and is often associated with the sea — its name literally means “water of the sea” in Latin. The most sought-after aquamarines have a clear, sky-blue hue with minimal green undertone. Estate pieces featuring aquamarine often showcase the stone’s clarity and graceful pastel color.

How durable is aquamarine for jewelry use?

Ranking 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, aquamarine is a durable stone ideal for a variety of jewelry types, including rings, earrings, and pendants. It’s a bit tougher than amethyst or garnet but can still be scratched by harder materials like sapphire or diamond. Vintage aquamarine rings should be handled with care, especially if the setting is delicate. With proper wear and storage, aquamarine jewelry can last for generations.

What is the best way to clean vintage aquamarine jewelry?

Use warm water and a mild detergent with a soft brush to clean aquamarine. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if the piece is antique or contains other softer gems. Rinse well and gently pat dry with a soft cloth. Periodic professional inspection ensures both the stone and its vintage setting remain secure.

Is aquamarine considered a precious gemstone?

While not as rare or valuable as emeralds or sapphires, high-quality aquamarine is still considered a precious gem, especially when it displays intense color and exceptional clarity. It has long been associated with calming energy and was favored by sailors as a talisman of protection. In estate jewelry, aquamarine is especially prized in Retro and Art Deco designs where its cool tone complements bold geometric settings.
