Aquamarine

This natural, untreated aquamarine, weighing 2.75 ct, was cut from a rough crystal weighing 8.31 ct. Its delicate, greenish light-blue hue gives it a fresh, clear, and at the same time elegantly understated appearance.

The aquamarine is eye-clean. Its high transparency allows light to flow through the crystal almost unimpeded, beautifully highlighting its delicate coloration. This gives the stone an open, bright, and exceptionally harmonious appearance.

The excellently executed cushion cut combines softly rounded contours with balanced proportions and precise faceting. Numerous clear reflections create a lively yet serene play of light and highlight the delicate greenish-blue color.

Color, transparency, and cut come together in this aquamarine to create a particularly well-balanced overall composition. Its beauty lies in the combination of delicate color intensity, a clear appearance, and an elegant, natural lightness.

From its documented origin as an 8.31-carat rough crystal to the finished gemstone, this aquamarine exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the unadulterated beauty of a natural beryl. Its delicate greenish-light-blue color, its eye-clean transparency, and its harmonious cushion cut make it a particularly striking piece in the Bennad Collection.

The aquamarine comes from southern Africa. The rough stone was sourced for us directly from the source by our partners, inspected by us, and then expertly cut.

⁽*⁾To the best of our knowledge and according to information from our local partners, the gemstone is untreated.

For an additional fee, we'd be happy to arrange for a certificate from an independent gemological institute to be issued for this gemstone.

Images may vary depending on monitor settings. The videos of the stone were recorded without filters or color correction.

The true beauty of a gemstone is only revealed when you hold it in your hand. With every slight movement, the angle of the light, the reflections, and the play of colors change, giving each stone its own unique vibrancy. 

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.
