Aquamarine takes its name from the Latin for “sea water,” and its color lives up to it: icy pale blue, soft teal and deeper ocean tones, depending on the stone and the light. It's one of the most popular choices for a non-diamond engagement ring, and the March birthstone.
Every center stone in this collection is genuine, natural aquamarine. At 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, it's hard enough for everyday wear with normal care. Each ring is made to order in Philadelphia.
Styles in This Collection
Emerald cut is our most popular aquamarine shape. Long step-cut facets show off the stone's natural clarity, often in vintage-inspired settings with pavé or milgrain detail.
Oval and pear shapes elongate the finger and give a larger face-up area, so the blue shows without needing a huge carat weight.
Halo settings frame the center stone with sparkling accents, making it look larger and adding brilliance.
Solitaires keep the design clean and let the stone do the work.
Bridal sets include a matching band designed to sit flush with the engagement ring.
