18K white gold ring with aquamarine

Introducing our white gold and aquamarine ring, a modern piece with understated lines and the elegance of minimalist pieces where less is more. Bezel-set, the 1.5-ct radiant-cut aquamarine has a beautiful light blue hue and perfect clarity. Its design, color, and luster of the white gold convey a luminous effect that is also delicate and subtle, precisely because of the gem’s pastel hue, which softens the more modern lines of the design.

Belonging to the beryl family, aquamarine owes its name to its color that resembles that of sea water, sometimes bluish and other times greenish, and its coloration is a product of iron oxides that, depending on their atomic order, result in the hue being blue (Faith2+) or greenish (Faith3+). Blue aquamarine is the most prized, and the more intense its color, the more valued it is. The green one, on the other hand, is often heat-treated to correct its hue. Beryl is a mineral of magmatic origin that is found in a wide variety of colors that receive distinctive names: goshenite (colorless beryl), morganite (pink), emerald (green), heliodor (yellow) and bixbite (red).

Probably because of its color, aquamarine was once known as the “sailor’s stone” and Greek and Roman sailors carried it as a talisman to appease the fury of Poseidon, later renamed Neptune by the Romans. Arab astrologers associated it with the star Sirius and in the Middle Ages alchemists attributed healing properties to it. Today, it is attributed with spiritual properties, but above all, it is appreciated for its beauty and color. This simple ring is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to wear an aquamarine in a comfortable and modern setting that can be worn every day.

The ring size is 11/51 and weighs 10 grams.
