Aquamarine Engagement Rings

Aquamarine engagement rings are favoured by those who are looking for a less traditional ring style. It's a gemstone that can work well in a variety of different settings and styles, and it's affordable, too - as aquamarine naturally grows in large crystals, larger stones won't cost you the earth.

Aquamarine's pale blue colour gives a natural sparkle with a beautiful hue, and many choose aquamarine engagement rings for their symbolism. It's the birthstone for the month of March and symbolises hope, happiness, tranquillity and harmony - perfect qualities to associate with the start of a new marriage.

On the Mohs hardness scale, aquamarine is generally rated between 7.5 and 8. For engagement rings, we would recommend choosing a gemstone with a minimum hardness of 7.5 in order to resist damage caused by general wear and tear. Its ranking on the Mohs scale means that aquamarine is definitely hard enough for an engagement ring. However, as with any piece of jewellery, we still recommend that you treat it with care to avoid any risk of damage.

The price of an aquamarine engagement ring can vary a lot, but you’ll typically find them ranging from £300 to over £3,000. Lighter shades tend to be more affordable, while deeper blues (especially ones with high clarity) can cost more. A simple solitaire setting will usually be on the lower end, whereas adding diamonds or a custom design can push the price up. Whatever your budget, there’s an aquamarine ring that’s perfect for you.

Aquamarine rings are easy to clean! Just take a soft bristle toothbrush and dip it in a mixture of warm water and mild soap and gently wipe the stone. Make sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water and dry it with a soft cloth to maintain that beautiful sheen. Don’t use strong cleaners or ultrasonic machines as they can be too abrasive for the soft stone. If you believe that it requires a professional clean, then a jeweller can provide it with the care that it deserves.

Yes, aquamarine rings have a beautiful, soft sparkle. While they don’t have the same fire as diamonds, their clear, icy-blue colour gives off a gentle, radiant glow, especially in natural light. Choosing a well-cut stone will maximise its brilliance.

Definitely, you should insure that aquamarine engagement ring. Aquamarine is durable, but it’s still a precious stone, and life can be unpredictable. Insurance will provide peace of mind, in the knowledge that, if something goes wrong, whether it’s loss, theft or accidental damage, you’ll be covered. And often, it’s an inexpensive way to cover such an important, sentimental piece of jewellery.

An aquamarine ring is all about calm and peace. The soft blue colour is often linked to the sea, which gives it a sense of tranquility and balance. It’s also a symbol of loyalty and trust—things that make it a meaningful choice for an engagement ring. If you're looking for something that represents strength, peace, and clear communication, aquamarine could be the perfect stone for you.
