Aquamarine

This harmoniously matched pair of natural, untreated aquamarines, with a total weight of 0.79 ct, was crafted from a single rough crystal weighing 4.46 ct. Since both gemstones originated from the same original crystal, they complement each other beautifully in color, transparency, and overall appearance.

Their delicate light blue hue gives the pair a clear, fresh, and exceptionally elegant appearance. The flawless transparency allows light to flow effectively through both crystals, enhancing their bright, open appearance.

The superbly executed pear cuts combine graceful, flowing shapes with precise faceting. Numerous delicate reflections make the two aquamarines sparkle vividly with every movement and underscore their harmonious balance.

What makes this pair particularly appealing is the natural harmony between them. Their color, shape, and play of light complement each other perfectly, uniting the two sister stones into a harmonious whole without them losing their individual charm.

From its documented origin as a 4.46-carat rough crystal to the finished gemstones, this pair of aquamarines exemplifies meticulous cutting planning, masterful craftsmanship, and the unadulterated beauty of natural beryls. Its delicate light blue color, eye-clean transparency, and elegant symmetry make it a particularly charming pair 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.
