Aquamarine Jewellery

About Our Aquamarine Collection

Aquamarine is a variety of beryl, the same mineral family as emerald, and gets its signature sea-blue to blue-green colour from trace iron content. It's one of the more durable coloured gemstones used in fine jewellery, ranking 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale — harder than quartz and close to sapphire — which makes it a practical choice for rings and bracelets worn daily, not just occasion pieces.

Every aquamarine in this collection is a natural, hand-selected stone, available set in 925 sterling silver for everyday wear or 9KT–18KT gold for finer pieces and gifting. Gold settings are BIS hallmarked, and each purchase is backed by our lifetime warranty and buyback programme. Need to return or exchange an order? See our Returns & Exchange Policy for full details.

As the traditional March birthstone, aquamarine is a popular choice for birthday gifts, anniversaries, and bridal jewellery. Whether you're looking for a solitaire aquamarine ring, a teardrop pendant, or a full set, each product page includes stone details, sizing, and a certificate of authenticity.

Caring for aquamarine: it's tough enough for daily wear, but still benefits from basic care — avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners on softer surrounding metals or accent stones, and store pieces separately to avoid surface scratches from harder gems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is natural aquamarine jewellery?
Natural aquamarine jewellery features genuine aquamarine gemstones formed naturally within the earth. Aquamarine belongs to the beryl mineral family and is known for its fresh blue to blue-green colour, often compared to clear seawater.

Are your aquamarine gemstones natural?
Yes. Our Natural Aquamarine Jewellery collection features genuine natural aquamarine gemstones selected for their colour, beauty and overall appearance.

What colour is natural aquamarine?
Natural aquamarine can range from very pale blue and blue-green to stronger, more saturated blue tones. Colour can vary from one gemstone to another, giving each stone its own character.

Is pale aquamarine still a real aquamarine?
Yes. Natural aquamarine occurs in a range of colour intensities, and many genuine stones are naturally pale. A lighter colour does not automatically mean the gemstone is imitation or lab-created.

Why do some aquamarines look more blue while others look blue-green?
Aquamarine naturally occurs in different shades depending on the individual stone. Some show a cool blue appearance, while others display a noticeable greenish-blue tone. Lighting, cut and viewing conditions can also influence how the colour appears.

Is aquamarine a birthstone?
Yes. Aquamarine is traditionally recognised as the birthstone for March, making aquamarine jewellery a meaningful birthday gift for someone born in that month.

Is aquamarine suitable for everyday wear?
Aquamarine is a relatively durable gemstone and can be suitable for regular wear when treated with reasonable care. Rings are more exposed to knocks than earrings or pendants, so the design and setting should suit how often the jewellery will be worn.

Is aquamarine suitable for engagement rings?
Yes. Aquamarine engagement rings are a beautiful choice for someone who prefers a soft blue gemstone rather than a traditional colourless centre stone. For frequent wear, a well-designed setting can help protect the gemstone.

What should I look for when buying natural aquamarine jewellery?
Consider the gemstone's colour, clarity, cut, overall appearance, craftsmanship and setting. The best choice is not always the darkest stone; personal preference and how beautifully the gemstone works within the design also matter.

Is aquamarine usually treated?
Some aquamarines are heat-treated to modify or improve their blue appearance. Treatment is common in the gemstone trade, which is why clear product information and disclosure are important when buying gemstone jewellery.

What is the difference between natural and lab-created aquamarine?
Natural aquamarine forms within the earth, while a lab-created gemstone is produced in a controlled environment. They differ primarily in origin, even when their appearance may be similar. The product description should clearly state what you are buying.

How should I care for aquamarine jewellery?
Clean aquamarine jewellery gently using mild soap, lukewarm water and a soft cloth or very soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning methods. Store pieces separately in a soft pouch or lined jewellery box to protect both the gemstone and the metal from scratches.
