Aquamarine

Aquamarine is one of the most intriguing and fascinating stones belonging to the precious Beryl family of gemstones. The blue shades of an aquamarine stone have always been loved and complement any skin colour. Gemstone designers also adore this blue coloured stone as it can be artistically cut to create different designs. Aquamarine gemstones are immensely popular as a jewellery adornment throughout the world.

Aquamarine is a hard gemstone with a magnificent shine. It derives its English name from the Latin, "aqua" which means water and "mare" which means the sea. These gemstones are available in different colour choices ranging from pale blue to strong sea blue. Aquamarines with the more intense colours and transparency are very valuable as a gemstone.

Aquamarines are mostly found in Brazil; however, various other countries such as Nigeria, Zambia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Afghanistan and Pakistan also have mines which produce aquamarines.

Aquamarine earrings, rings and necklaces are a popular choice among jewellery lovers. Authentic and branded aquamarine jewellery can be purchased from authorised shops and outlets of different jewellery manufacturers. White Solitaire rings, diamond fashion bracelet and crystal butterfly bangle/bracelet are some of the designer aquamarine jewellery.
