Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Solitaire Aquamarine Engagement Rings

Engagement rings have been the ultimate symbol of love for thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, they wore rings on the third finger of the left hand to mark where the "vein of love" went directly to the heart, starting a tradition that continues today. When pledging your love with a unique engagement ring, you are starting your own family tradition. The most important value factor to consider when shopping for solitaire aquamarine engagement rings is the quality of the center stone. Gemvara hand-selects top quality conflict-free gems that are expertly cut for maximum beauty. Aquamarine captures the beauty of the sea. Gemvara's icy aqua freshens earth tones, grey, and navy and blends with other pastels. Aquamarine is March's birthstone and the 19th anniversary gem. Our unrivalled selection of engagement rings by Damon Washington, Gemvara Essentials, Paul Bierker, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find an engagement ring that perfectly symbolizes your relationship. Timeless solitaire styles put all the focus on the beautifully cut and polished center gemstone. Clean solitaire aquamarine engagement rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. When taking off your engagement ring, don't pull on the gemstone: this won't damage the gem but it can, over time, stretch the metal that holds it in place, making the setting less secure. Be careful when removing your ring to wash your hands. Don't leave it on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Gemvara's fine quality solitaire aquamarine engagement rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Said to be the gem of mermaids, aquamarine captures the essence of the calm seas. Its pastel blue color with a tinge of green is thought to keep sailors safe, as well as increase harmony (especially between couples). Color is the most important aspect in choosing your aquamarine jewelry. The more pure and bright the pastel blue, the more valuable the aquamarine gem. Cut and clarity also matter, since the light shade makes imperfections more visible. Aquamarine is more saturated in larger sizes (it isn't possible to get the best color in small accent stones) and the larger the carat weight, the more an aquamarine will cost per carat. Aquamarine is the March birthstone and the 19th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality aquamarine will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine aquamarine jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
