Aquamarine History & Meaning<\/h2>\n

Invoking the tranquility of its namesake, aquamarine is derived from the Latin word “aqua,” meaning water, and “marina,” meaning the sea. Believed to protect sailors, aquamarine was often aboard ships in ancient times to guarantee a safe voyage. Many ancient medicines used powder from aquamarine to help cure infections, particularly eye ailments.<\/p>\n

The serene blue or blue-green color is said to help those with a temper, allowing the wearer to remain calm and levelheaded. The stone is also considered to be a great addition to self-care practices and is used widely as a meditation aid to help one cultivate more inner tranquility.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Aquamarine Colors, Characteristics & Value<\/h2>\n

Evoking the colors of the sea, aquamarines are often clear as water and symbolize purity of soul and spirit. Aquamarine is often light in tone, with its blue or blue-green coloring appearing more intense in larger stones. One of the significant benefits of this gemstone\u2019s color is that it complements a variety of metal colors and complexions. Jewelers value specific shades of aquamarine\u2014the more intense the blue color, the more valuable the stone. Green-tinged aquamarines tend to be less expensive. High-grade aquamarine is sometimes imitated with blue topaz, colored glass or heat-treated low-grade aquamarine stones. Synthetic aquamarine is not economical to produce and is actually aquamarine-colored synthetic spinel.<\/p>\n

Gem-quality crystals are pleochroic, meaning they appear colorless when seen from some angles. Tumbled stones may range in color from a pure milky blue to a pearly turquoise green. Most natural aquamarine is heat treated to remove the green tint to reveal the preferred intense blue color. If the heat is too high, the stone can suffer discoloration. Color can also be improved with neutron and gamma irradiation, but these changes do not last.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/aquamarine-jewelry.jpg” alt=”aquamarine jewelry” title_text=”aquamarine-jewelry” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Aquamarine Care & Cleaning<\/h2>\n

Aquamarine stones should be cleaned using warm, soapy water. Ultrasonic cleaners are typically safe for aquamarines except when the stone has liquid inclusions or fractures. Heat exposure is not recommended for aquamarines. It is important to have your jewelry professionally cleaned and checked three to four times a year. Aquamarine jewelry should be stored in a jewelry box lined with soft fabric when not worn.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]
