Aquamarine Jewellery

The birthstone of March and the gemstone for 19th wedding anniversaries, Aquamarine is as popular as the classics: ruby, sapphire and emerald. The calming effect of aquamarine has been attributed to its resemblance to the colour of the sea, which is often said to have a calming effect on those who gaze upon it. The calming effect of this gemstone has been said to be especially beneficial for those who are prone to anger issues, as well as those suffering from anxiety or depression.

The best Aquamarines combine high clarity with unclouded transparency, ranging in blue to green colours. Generally, the more intense the colour of an aquamarine, the more value is put on it. At Pruden and Smith, we look out for large cabochons of colour with attractive inclusions that look like moonstone. These are generally incorporated into creative hammer-worked pieces with artistic cuts.

We have a wide range of Aquamarine jewellery - from stacking rings and rough cut gemstone jewellery, to our water inspired collections and more classic designs with a polished finish.

This versatile gemstone looks gorgeous alone or combined with another gemstone of similar tones. Mixed with teal sapphires, green tones of the aquamarine are accentuated. Alternatively, with pale blue sapphires, the blue tones appear enhanced.

Aquamarine is also a popular choice to combine with diamonds, and is often used as an alternative gemstone for an engagement ring centre. Thanks to its durable and tough composition, Aquamarine is, to a large extent, protected from scratches and will stand the test of time.
