Named for the Latin “water of the sea,” aquamarine is a pale blue to blue-green variety of beryl. Its major sources are Brazil, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Mozambique, with Brazilian stones famous for size and clarity. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed aquamarine calmed waves and ensured safe journeys across the sea.
Aquamarine’s gentle color, clarity, and size make it a premier gemstone for statement rings and necklaces. Deep blue is most prized, but all shades are appreciated for their soft luminosity. Large, eye-clean stones are abundant and used in fine jewelry worldwide.
