Aquamarine - The Misunderstood Gemstone

Aquamarine is a beautiful gemstone this is quite popular in today's fashion jewelry.  The subtle blue to blue-green colors are often associated with bodies of water such as oceans and seas.  Because of this color, it is sometimes referred to as the gemstone of mermaids. There is little truth in this association, however.   Like most other fashion gemstones, aquamarine is found on land.

The popularity of aquamarine in fashion jewelry can largely be attributed to its light, nuanced colors.  It's relatively neutral colors matches well with a wide range of skin tones and eye colors.  In addition, it can be matched with a variety of other materials and settings to create new and unique masterpieces in the world of fashion jewelry. Sterling silver pendants, earrings, and necklaces with aquamarine as the focal gemstone are very popular with adults – young and old alike. Aquamarine comes from the Latin terms aqua marina, meaning water of the sea. All other factors being equal the darker shades of the stone are more valuable than lighter colored ones. When used in fashion jewelry, the gemstone is usually facet-cut to promote the sparkle so characteristic of this stone, and desirable in fashion jewelry. Some designers create more unique pieces using the stone with minimal processing. In such cases, the inclusions in the stones add to the character and uniqueness of the piece.  Because of its light color however, aquamarine is rarely combined with other gems in pieces such as a cultured pearl necklace or bracelet.

Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family of precious and semi-precious gemstones. It's hardness rates a 7.5 to 8 on Mohs scale, and it can be cut and polished to a high shine.  In some respects therefore, it may be considered the poor man's diamonds. The color of the stone is a function of the iron impurities within. The stone is sometimes treated with irradiation or heat to enhance its color and appearance. While these treatments do not detract from the appearance of the stone, purists may prefer the untreated stones in their jewelry. Brazil is the largest producer to this stone today. Less significant deposits are found on the North American, African, and Asian continent.

The light blue color of the aquamarine is synonymous with trust, harmony, friendship and sympathy. The stone is considered as divine and eternal color. It is also the color of water which is a life giving force. The stone is said to ensure a successful marriage, bringing happiness, especially to the bride. Aquamarine is used in the spiritual aspects of life and to go deeper in to the mysteries of nature. This gem is ideal for those born on 3rd, 12th, 21st or 30th of a month i.e. birth number three, and is a recommended stone for Pisces and Leo. Aquamarine is believed to reduce tension and stresses in personal relationships, strengthen the emotional bond and to protect the wearers. Aquamarine is highly recommended for people who are in the field of teaching and research, medicine, humanitarian causes, film industry, navigators, sailors and in travel and tourism.
