Aquamarine

With its beautiful, clear blue hue, high transparency, and intense brilliance, this natural, untreated 1.00 ct aquamarine possesses a particularly fresh, light, and elegant appearance. Light blue, almost glass-like reflections lend it additional depth and vibrancy.

Cut from the same 6.85 ct rough crystal as its larger sister stone, AQ28/1, this pear-shaped diamond appears virtually eye-clean when viewed under normal conditions. There is a very small natural inclusion near the edge that is barely visible to the naked eye and is essentially only detectable upon close inspection under magnification.

Its clear blue hue appears in slightly varying intensities depending on the viewing angle and lighting. This consistently creates bright, glass-like reflections that dance across the stone, beautifully highlighting its high transparency.

The pear cut enhances this light, elegant effect with its flowing shape and lively faceting. When in motion, the aquamarine displays an intense sparkle without losing its clear and serene underlying character.

The same rough crystal also yielded the 1.83 ct oval-cut AQ28/1. Both sister stones share the same origin and clear blue color, but differ in their individual play of light and subtle natural characteristics.

Interesting Facts About Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the blue to bluish-green variety of the mineral beryl. Its color spectrum ranges from a very delicate, pale blue to intense, deep blue hues. Aquamarines with a rich, pure blue color are often referred to in the trade as “Santa Maria aquamarines” and are among the most sought-after examples of this gemstone.

Natural inclusions are characteristic features of a natural gemstone. They can provide clues about its natural origin and help distinguish it from synthetic or imitation materials. At the same time, clarity - along with color, cut, and carat weight - is one of the key factors that determine a gemstone’s quality and value.

High-quality aquamarines also attract the attention of collectors and buyers who view rare colored gemstones as long-term assets. Stones with an intense blue color, high transparency, very good clarity, and an excellent cut are in particularly high demand. Exceptional specimens of this quality are available in limited quantities and have attracted increasing market attention in recent years. However, future performance cannot be predicted and always depends on quality, rarity, and demand.
