Aquamarine really does seem to have captured the lucid blue of the oceans and according to old stories originated in the treasure chest of fabulous mermaids, and has been regarded as the sailors' lucky stone. Its name is derived from the Latin 'aqua' (water) and 'mare' (sea). It is said that its strengths are developed to their best advantage when it is placed in water which is bathed in sunlight. However, it is surely better still to wear aquamarine, since according to the old traditions, this promises a happy marriage and is said to bring the woman who wears it joy and wealth into the bargain.
Just to be clear on this -- this is a natural, mined Aquamarine.
These stones are set into a traditional basket setting, hanging from a leverback earring.
Please notice the thickness of the sterling silver in the mounting. These are substantial, without being weighty. I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!
This is a good stable setting that won't set you back a month just to get a pair. There's no reason why this stone shouldn't last you for years, and dazzle every day of it.
