Aquamarine & Diamond Pendant
14 karat white gold aquamarine and diamond pendant. The 0.80 carat oval aquamarine is a deep, bright blue. There are 0.34 cttw. round brilliant cut diamonds of SI clarity and G-H color prong set around the aquamarine and in the rabbit ear bail.
Legends say that aquamarine originated in the treasure chests of fabulous mermaids. For centuries, aquamarine was the constant companion of mariners, their protection against the wrath of the sea.
Perhaps because this gem has earned its own reputation for beauty, many don’t realize that aquamarine is emerald’s sister. While both stones are of the beryl family, aquamarine possesses a delicate, light blue hue reminiscent of the ocean’s calm. Its very name, taken from Latin, translates to “seawater.”
As the birthstone of March and a favorite of water-signs, aquamarine is well-suited to building a collection year after year, milestone after milestone.
The largest deposits of aquamarine are found in Brazil, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Madagascar. Russia and Sri Lanka also contribute a lesser production. More recently, stunning aquamarine crystals have been found in Pakistan and Afghanistan, lending promise to the potential for future mining.
