Aquamarine, the birthstone for March and the stone for 19th wedding anniversaries, has an exciting history with Roman fishermen and the sea. The gemstone, Latin for water, was named "water of the sea" and used for protection, safe travels, and luck in catching fish. It is linked to the apostle St. Thomas, who traveled by boat. Like the emerald gemstone, aquamarine stones come from the Beryl family and make lovely engagement rings. This gemstone is mainly mined in Brazil, but is also found in other nations.
Aquamarine grows in large, six-sided crystals that can be up to a foot long and impressive. Our treasure chests of the collection include unique "Croc" earrings studded with hundreds of aquamarines, like wearing diamond rings on your ears. They come in rose gold and white gold; it makes fine jewelry. The Ohliguer cocktail ring is set with powerful aquamarine gemstones, cushion cut, and elegantly carried in a brilliant diamond claw, set in rose gold, white gold, or platinum.
Your bride will love our emerald cut aquamarine gemstone, with diamonds studded around two platinum and yellow gold ropes that add color, luxury, and style. Aquamarine stones are set in our modern halo-interpreted design for a refreshing take on the antique style. Available in platinum, white, rose, and yellow gold.

What Makes an Ohliguer Aquamarine Engagement Ring a True Treasure?
Like other gemstones, the value of aquamarines is based on cut, color, clarity, and carat. Lighter-coloured aquamarines, which are more common, are less valuable than the deeper hues of blue or blue-green.

From the Sea to Your Finger: Explore the Rich History and Symbolism
Romans believed Neptune had a special connection to aquamarine. It used to be called "sea-green Beryl", but was changed to "aquamarine" in the 1600s. This made aquamarine popular with brides as an engagement ring. Symbolically, aquamarine is believed to alleviate stress and worry, providing tranquility.
How to keep the sparkle of my aquamarine ring alive?
Unlike a diamond, your aquamarine engagement ring can be scratched. Store your aquamarine jewelry wrapped in silk or soft cotton. Your engagement ring should only be washed in warm water, and you should avoid brutal chemical treatment. Also, be sure to keep this stone away from intense heat.
