The aquamarine is a close relative of the emerald and therefore also a variety of the silicate mineral "beryl". This very popular gemstone owes its name of Latin origin "water of the sea" to the color character of seawater. It is either crystal clear or slightly milky, which is why its fans affectionately attest it a somewhat sleepy appearance. The aquamarine is set in scene according to its clarity. In eye-pure quality it meets us in antique jewellery as a solitaire eye-catcher, mostly as a pendant or as a ring. As blue is the color of loyalty and peace, the popularity of the aquamarine is growing inexorably.

The gemstone as a lucky charm

Already centuries ago these precious stones were worked into amulets. Sailors wore them as lucky charms on a necklace during their voyages. They were often thrown overboard before or during a storm to appease the sea god Poseidon. For the most part, it must have worked well, because this custom was maintained over many generations. In modern times the use of aquamarines is of course of a different nature. Eye-clean specimens are very popular and usually act as the center of exciting jewellery creations. They are accompanied either by diamonds or light pearls. Only very rarely are they part of multicolor jewellery from the vintage era, such as a bracelet or necklace without a pendant. Antique jewelry with aquamarine stone almost always refers to rings, earrings and exciting necklaces. Before platinum could be processed well from about 1900 onwards, goldsmiths and silversmiths emphasized the gentle blue of the aquamarine with settings of sterling silver (925 silver). Antique aquamarine jewellery was usually made of at least 14 carat (585) gold, but mostly 18 carat (750) gold.

Round, oval and rectangular ring heads with the stone combination aquamarine and diamond were available in various sizes and designs.
