Executive Summary About Aquamarine Diamond Ring By Andrew Stratton

Often seen as the gemstone of mermaids, due to its sea-like hue, aquamarine actually comes from deep within the earth, just like other gemstones. Some shades even hold a green tint, giving it a teal color. However, a deep blue is the most desired shade so these green tinted stones are often heat-treated to remove the green hues. But, if you appreciate the teal-colored stones, you can find an aquamarine bracelet in just the shade you desire.

Origin
The most desirable and largest supply of these gems come Brazil, known for the deep sea blue color it produces. There are also mines located in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Tanzania, Madagascar and Zambia. The oldest mines are in Madagascar, but when the Brazilian mines were found the Madagascar mines became less important. A large deep blue Brazilian aquamarine and diamond ring would be a valuable piece of jewelry and the envy of all your friends.

Wearing an aquamarine and diamond ring for a wedding ring is also a beautiful choice filled with intriguing lore. The stone is said to ensure a successful marriage, bringing happiness, especially to the bride.

Mystical Lore
Like all gemstones, this sea-colored stone has a history of mystical powers and lore attached to it. The name aquamarine is Latin for “sea water.” The stone was believed to bring luck to sailors, protecting them from rough waters and seasickness. Emeralds are rife with inclusions, but the aquamarine is not. Often cut in the traditional ways, these stones are also popular among cutters for designer pieces using unconventional shapes and sizes. Uniquely cut stones can be classic and contemporary at the same time.
