Details
A sturdy bezel and a row of accents give an oval aquamarine the look of a breakwater catching the light, built to be worn hard. Wear it for yourself on the right hand. The center is a real natural aquamarine, gently heated to clear its blue the way almost all aquamarine is. A bezel is the safest setting for a stone that is hard but brittle, closing off the edges that chip. Mild soap and a soft brush are all it wants. Choose your metal and carat below and we finish it to your size.
Shown complete with a real Oval natural aquamarine center from 0.72 to 2.45 carat, from $1,659 all-in. The price is the finished ring: the setting, the aquamarine center you choose, and the labor to set and size it. Aquamarine is blue beryl at 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, hard but brittle, so we build it into protective settings and hand select every stone. Nearly all aquamarine is gently heated to steady its blue, a standard and permanent step we tell you about plainly. These calibrated stones ship without an individual lab report.

Questions
What is at the center? A real natural Oval aquamarine, from 0.72 to 2.45 carat. Choose the carat and metal on this page.
Is this an engagement ring or a fashion ring? This is a fashion ring, made for the right hand, a stack or a self purchase rather than a proposal. Wear it however you like.
Is the aquamarine natural? Yes. Every center is a natural, earth mined aquamarine, the blue variety of beryl. There is no lab grown aquamarine here; the market does not make one, and we would rather sell you the real stone than a simulant.
Is it treated? Almost all aquamarine on the market is warmed to settle its blue and clear any green cast. The treatment is standard, permanent and does not fade, and we say so rather than imply the stone is untouched.
Why does the ring use a protective setting? Aquamarine is hard but brittle, so a sharp knock on an exposed edge can chip it. A bezel, halo or accented shoulder shelters the stone, which is why we favor those designs here.
Does it come with a certificate? These calibrated aquamarines ship without an individual lab report. We hand check every one for even blue color and a clean face, and can source a certified or larger stone on request.
