March Babies Celebrate With Aquamarine & Diamond Rings

One of the joys of being born in March is the beauty of the birthstone symbolising your special day. Aquamarine is not only a beautiful gemstone on its own, it is also one of the most stunning gemstones that can be set in a diamond ring to complement and contrast the diamond perfectly.

Aquamarine is a gorgeous gemstone that lies somewhere between light blue and light green in colour and is often described as a cross between an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. In fact, aquamarine gemstones are a specific form of a stone called beryl. The green version of beryl is also commonly referred to as emerald. The stone is popular for its sea tones, mimicking the colour of the water found on remote tropical islands, somewhere between sea blue and ocean green, but clear and vivid a the same time.

One of the reasons that aquamarine stones work so well when set in diamond rings is the lighter blue green colour of the stone provides just enough contrast to the diamond itself to make them both stand apart, however, the transparent nature of the aquamarine also keeps the overall look of the ring cohesive. The way the light is able to pass through both the aquamarine and the diamonds increase its ability to complement each other even further. Aquamarine and diamond rings tend to work best when set in white gold or platinum which further enhances the lighter toned sparkle of both stones.

If you are looking to give your loved one something special to celebrate her birthday this year, consider something slightly more than just a birthstone ring. So this year, combine the aquamarine into a diamond ring and it will be guaranteed to melt her heart and help ring in another year in style.
