Colored Engagement Ring Symbolism

Colored gemstones and diamonds are rarer than most people think. And once you decide to get one, it will always have a special meaning as you must invest your time and money to find “the one.” 

In many cultures, the ring finger symbolizes the way to someone’s heart. That’s why gemstones chosen for an engagement ring should bring good energy into the future marriage. Indeed, as every color has its own meaning, blue stones that personify love, devotion, longevity, and vitality are often used in engagement rings. 

Bluestones like aquamarine, sapphire, and topaz symbolize honesty and loyalty, as well as eternal love and universal harmony. When it comes to relationships, the aquamarine engagement ring is an expression of courage, openness, and everlasting love. 

Once you let the energy of the sea into your life, it will follow you on your journey together. 

Aquamarine Stone Qualities 

Aquamarine is a transparent blue stone. Its name comes from two Latin words for water and blue sea because of its blue shades that resemble seawater.

Aquamarine is a stone that comes from the beryl family, and it shares a lot of its qualities with emerald and morganite. You can always recognize it for its unique transparent azure blue shade. 

Aquamarine Stone Symbolism 

Aquamarine is often associated with serenity, tranquility, and universal harmony. Being one of the March birthstones, aquamarine embodies the transformation and rebirth of energy and the world itself. In its essence, it’s connected to life in all its vitality and hope.

The aquamarine stone brings happiness to a new marriage and good fortune to any woman who wears it. 

Sailors believed that aquamarine could shield them from strong winds and protect them during big storms. Ancient cultures wore aquamarine carved as animals to preserve their life energy, warding off death and illness. 

Wearing an Aquamarine Engagement Ring 

If you want to match your new engagement ring to your outfits, aquamarine light blue goes exceptionally well with neutral looks.

The ring will attract much attention whether you decide to go with all-black or all-white outfits. It also compliments any camel or navy-blue dress, coat, or long shirt.

You can wear your new ring with a neutral cashmere sweater or a gentle blue blouse. Keep in mind that this gem is almost see-through, and it can blend with pretty much any color. 

Aquamarine engagement rings are durable enough to be worn every day. Still, you should avoid wearing them with other jewelry pieces that might scratch them. Many jewelers suggest them as a lovely alternative to a diamond, as far as durability and price are involved. Of course, they’re not as glittery as diamonds, but many people like them because of their crystal structure.

How to Look for a Quality Aquamarine 

Not all aquamarine stones come in the same shade of blue. Some of them are pastel blue, while others can be more vivid. Whether it’s a gentle blue or a strong dark one, it’s crucial to decide which stone you like. 

If you’re into sparkly stones, look for excellent cut stones. When it comes to metals, aquamarine goes well with everything. A golden or pink gold ring will make the stone look cooler while providing the right balance. However, platinum (or white gold) works best if you want to enhance the blue tones. 

Aquamarine carat size won’t play a significant role, as aquamarine is usually unearthed as larger raw pieces. Because you can find them in abundance, you can purchase big ring-size pieces for a reasonable price. 

Bear in mind that the darker (highly saturated) aquamarine stones are pricier than the lighter stones, as light ones are usually in high demand, but thankfully this doesn’t affect the price too much. 

As far as the cut is concerned, this stone looks staggering in every shape, and it ultimately comes down to your personal preference. Aquamarine will always look amazing whether you like an oval, round, emerald, or heart-shaped stone. Depending on your style, you can even use several aquamarine stones or arrange a particular cut.
