Generally, aquamarine is very valuable, but it's shade determines the extent. Dark colour aquamarine is rare and thus more valuable compared to light blue.
Like all gemstones, clarity is also a big influence on aquamrinae's value. A dark coloured stone with little to no flaws will fetch a big price on the market yet rarely to the same level as diamonds.
If your budget doesn't allow for an aquamarine at the moment, blue topaz is an excellent alternative. It's an affordable look-alike and has similar durability to aquamarine.
Other than making you feel absolutely gorgeous, some say that wearing aquamarine jewellery brings mental benefits. This includes feelings of wisdom and mental clarity, like the waves within have calmed.
This new sense of ease then brings courage and tranquillity as you can now see things clearly. It is also believed that aquamarine gemstones can flush out toxins from the body.
Sailors were often said to wear aquamarine pendants to protect them on sea voyages and was coined as the 'Sailor's Stone' by Romans.
If you're a spiritual person, try using the aquamarine crystal during meditation to help look within and awaken your throat chakra to improve public speaking and creativity.
In most cases, when you buy an authentic gemstone, a certificate will be given to prove it's real. If you didn't get one, there are some other ways you can test if your aquamarine is the real deal.
First, the colour of a fake will either look too bright or too dark. A real gemstone shows different colours depending on the angle from which you look at it. You may also notice it's not spread equally throughout the gemstone which is another indicator of a dupe.
Aquamarine is very durable, measuring at 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. This should then lead to suspicion if you spot lots of scratches from simple everyday wear.
Another simple test is to hold the gemstone. If it's warm, it's like glass or another material in replacement for genuine aquamarine.
There's nothing stopping you from experiencing beauty and calmness everyday with a pair of aquamarine earrings - only if you look after them.
Jeweley particularly with unique designs are suseptical to being caught or pulled out as you sleep or work out. Prevent risks and remove the jewellery and store it before continuing.
Through continuous wear, aquamarine jewellery can fade in direct sunlight. To prevent this, if you're planning a long sunbathing session, put the accessory in a jewellery box until you come back.
In terms of how to style aquamarine everyday, there are endless options! For example, an aquamarine ring is a great staple piece whether for casual or formal events.
Drop earrings also suit various situations like making a statement when paired with minimalistic clothes or to complement a yellow gold bracelet. Aquamarine's characteristic blue goes with a lot of things which can stand on it's own or contrast other gemstones in your ensemble.
