I’m a March girl and my mom gave me an aquamarine ring set in yellow gold. Since she is also a March girl, it’s a ring she was given by her own mom. The ring dates back to the 1950’s and I love it’s vintage look. Thank you for this informative video 👍

Aquamarine is my favorite gemstone & I too, prefer a greenish blue hue often referred to a "Seafoam". As the former owner of a small jewelry company, I searched many years until I could find a beautiful greenish blue untreated stone that was heavily included. The first thing my colleagues said was," why are you wearing that awful stone?" It is a larger stone, & is nevertheless, my favorite.

Another March baby here..... I've always had a fascination with aquamarine, being my birth stone, and given the fact that I love the sea. This past Christmas my aunt bought me a beautiful ring - an aquamarine set in diamonds. I love it, I wear it all the time.

Am I the only one who likes the untreated sea-foam colored stones? The problem I have with blue aquamarine is the similarity in color to topaz. I also think the astounding clarity is shown to best advantage when there is a balance between blue and green. BTW, I loved the video.

Thank you. I also appreciate the natural shades, but they are admittedly hard to find with decent color saturation. In Maine, local Aqua tends to all be natural, at least currently.

I don’t know about others but I like my beryl included. Not heavily. But just enough to make it say I am a beryl, and I have a garden. I love it. Emerald, Aqua, morganite, Bixbite (tho I sadly don’t see that one often), all so beautiful. Clean stones are fine. I get why people like them and pay big money for them. But I am always going to love taking an emerald and looking for three phase inclusions in emerald and Aqua.

It's such a beautiful gemstone. I've previously commented about my inherited "synthetic diamond" that I suspect to be a cubic zirconia, but I've also once been given a sizeable aquamarine that I kind of suspect of being coloured glass, so when I take the "diamond" to be checked out next week I'll bring the aquamarine as well. As neither has cost me anything I won't be angry if I'm told they're both worthless - and I might get both set as lapel pins anyway since they're pretty and have stories. But learning more about what they're *supposed* to be has been interesting. And who knows? Maybe not all tall tales are untrue? (Though they most likely are...)

I've treasure hunted (quite literally) for over a year to find an untreated aquamarine stone which is certified to be at least VVS quality. I much prefer the greenish bluish color over the lighter, more sky blue topazish version. I wish there were more untreated stones so people can decide for themselves in the end which version they prefer.

Aquamarine is my birthstone, and I MUCH prefer the untreated stones with the green tint in the blue. I find them much more striking and pretty than the heated blue stones that are in vogue now. The untreated blue/green stones are hard to find, though. To me, the heated, all-blue Aquamarine is not as pretty unless you can afford to spend LOTS of money....LOTS of money. In addition, in my opinion, the heated blue Aquamarine can't hold a candle to the Blue Topaz birth stone of December. Now, THAT is a gorgeous blue, and you don't have to spend a fortune to get an amazing, deep color. I wish it was March's stone, I may never find an Aquamarine that I like.

@YourAverageJeweler4 жыл бұрын
If we are talking about inclusions within aquamarine, I believe you can find quartz inclusions occasionally within aquamarine. They are also minerals that could be found near each other and can grow within what we consider to be a specimen. If we are talking about can quartz be part of aquamarine composition then that is a different question. They are two completely different minerals composed of different elements. Quartz could not be part of the chemical composition of aquamarine. I hope that helps.

I would start with a reputable local jeweler that has a selection of colored stones. The best thing to do is ask if they have any or can source some for you.
