The Aquamarine Jewelry

By Shari Evans


As its name may sound, aquamarine is known to be a stone that came from the deep seas. It has got its name because of its resemblance to the ocean's color. The aquamarine stone is also called as "the mermaid's treasure" giving people the impression of its purity, unique qualities and worthiness. Aquamarine also serves as the month of March's birthstone and 19th anniversary of married partners. It is necessary for every owner to know the use and proper care for the aquamarine in order to maintain its striking qualities.

Different Uses for Aquamarine

The aquamarine can be a diamond substitute due its colorless appearance at its palest. Due to its sparkle and clarity almost everyone will agree that it is really an effective substitute for every girl's best friend. This can also be an engagement jewelry if you prefer a stone of the same luster as diamond but does not cost that much. The blue-green aquamarines are good for vintage jewelry as they can be easily shaped into gems. This is why you can find a lot of aquamarine chokers and cocktail rings.

During the Roman times, aquamarine is seen to be a powerful stone with the ability to bless fishermen of calm seas. The legends also dictate that the color of the stone changes depending on the mood of its wearer. Back to the current times, raw aquamarine is being measured in pounds instead of carats as it can grow bigger. Jewel makers will then make a display gems out of this due to its lustrous color, flexibility and polish.

Proper Care for Aquamarine

Proper care of this precious stone is vital to maintain its unique and lustrous quality. Taking care of the aquamarine will keep it away from different kinds of damages which will make its appearance bad and depreciate its value. The jewelry must be worn last and taken off first to avoid the harmful effects of chemicals in your perfume, hair spray and cosmetics. Avoid touching the stone for as much as you can as the natural body oils can fade its shine away. Do not wear the aquamarine jewelry whenever you will do a heavy physical activity or house hold chores to prevent it from being damaged or lost.

Keep it away from direct sunlight and different harsh chemicals that can easily fade the aquamarine's color. Avoid it from being touched by shampoos, chlorine and hair dyes. On storing the jewelry, wrap it inside a soft cloth made of velvet or pure cotton. Separate the jewelry from each other to prevent scratches and bumps. Place it inside a jewelry box and store it in a cool place.
