What is the spiritual meaning of aquamarine?

Imagine a calm sea. The lulling tide and a soft breeze give a certain feeling of relaxation. Aquamarine encompasses that feeling of tranquility and peace.

The name aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus which means “water of the sea”. Whether you are a sailor, a surfer, or a beachcomber, this stone has a special place for you. Some consider the stone as a natural talisman of protection from the sea. Others love it as a continuous reminder of the sea’s beauty.

Dating back to the Middle Ages of Europe, the stone was believed to save people from poison and disease.

The present-day New Age movement loves aquamarine for its harmonious powers. The stone has a connection with the throat chakra and is thought to give the wearer wisdom and truth in their speech.

Is aquamarine an expensive stone?

Aquamarine is a mid-range priced gemstone. It is not as expensive as diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, but it’s more expensive than amethyst, citrine, and topaz.

The worth of an aquamarine stone is reflected by the color of the stone. Colors range from light blue to darker with hints of green. Deeper blue aquamarine stones are more rare and therefore more valuable. For example, this pear shaped aquamarine pendant sells for $8,750 thanks in part to the deep blue color of the stone. This aquamarine and diamond pendant has a lighter shade of aquamarine, hence the lower price tag of $2,200.

Eye-cleanliness is another factor in determining the value of an aquamarine stone. While uncommon for aquamarine, it can have visible imperfections (inclusions) which would lower the value. Examine the stone before your purchase to ensure good clarity and transparency.

What is aquamarine good for?

Because of its lovely color, aquamarine is suitable for all types of jewelry.

Whether aquamarine stands alone or is used to complement a diamond or other stone, the color suits many occasions.

As an added bonus to the pretty hue, aquamarine scores an 8 out of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It’s a durable stone.

Aquamarine can withhold an occasional hit so it makes a great stone for jewelry worn on the hands such as rings or bracelets. This stone makes a great alternative engagement ring or another piece of jewelry worn daily.

Also, it can provide “something blue” to a wedding ensemble.

Amazing Gifts

We’ve seen a lot of jewelry in our day. This list is a small taste of the lovely aquamarine pieces available. As a caveat, all of these pieces are selected from Blue Nile and James Allen. We value high quality at a reasonable budget. These online retailers take out the brick-and-mortar over-head yet still hit the mark on quality jewelry.

Rings

You don’t have to be Justin Timberlake to enhance a ring with an aquamarine birthstone (nor does your gift need to be an engagement ring for Jessica Biel). Here are some rings that are both majestic and calming at the same time.

The aquamarine solitaire birthstone ring is a fantastic staple piece for your hand. It also looks great stacked with other rings for fashionable fun.

We love the eternity fashion of the Riviera pavé aquamarine ring in white gold shown below. As with the ring above, this ring is beautiful and sweet on its own and a dazzling statement stacked with other rings.

For a head-turning piece, this aquamarine and diamond halo ring from Blue Nile is stunning. We love the lucid hue of the sea surrounded by the pavé diamonds.

Necklaces and Bracelets

The recent trend of layering necklaces and bracelets is a lasting one. Plus it gives future gifts a shoo-in. The necklaces we chose look fantastic layered with others or standing alone.

For a look that’ll never go out of style, this aquamarine and diamond floating halo necklace encompasses classy. This necklace has modern appeal with its octagon-cut aquamarine stone floating within the halo of 24 diamonds.

The aquamarine heart pendant from Blue Nile is gorgeous with its bezel-set aquamarine paired next to a silver heart. The classic cable chain can fasten at 16 or 18 inches. Coming in sterling silver, this piece is great for those with sensitive skin.

Earrings

The earrings we chose range from everyday to special occasion. Aquamarine earrings are especially lovely because they place the stone right next to those beautiful eyes. Their light blue shade complements all eye colors.

These oval aquamarine earrings are pleasing with their subtle color and radiant sparkle. They are sure to reignite love whether through the power of the aquamarine stone or the beauty of this gift.

For a flashier look, these oval aquamarine earrings with baguette diamonds will do the job. Set in rose gold, these earrings are the essence of luxury with their unique brilliance.
