White gold ring with aquamarine and rose diamond 14 krt>Vintage Jewellery Hot

Blue and clear as a Caribbean ocean, this ring features a statement-sized aquamarine surrounded by sparkling rose-cut diamonds. The scalloped gallery spiral adds the perfect touch of elegance.

The name aquamarine comes from the Latin word for “sea water”; according to historical lore, the gemstone is said to have the power to calm waves and protect sailors. Aquamarine is a member of the beril family, which also includes the lush green emerald and the soft pink morganite, as well as the lesser-known colourless goshenite and sunflower yellow heliodor. Unlike emerald and morganite, aquamarine is an excellent choice for a ring and is durable enough to be worn more often (but as with all vintage pieces of jewellery, be sure to take your rings off before working with your hands, coming into contact with chlorine or bleach, exercising, showering or sleeping).

The finest aquamarine gemstones are free of visible inclusions, just like this one. The perfect birthday gift for anyone born in March, or to celebrate a 19-year wedding anniversary.
