Moss Aquamarine Ring with 10K Gold

The name Aquamarine comes from the Latin aqua marinus, meaning "water of the sea," and refers to its sparkling ocean-like color. Moss Aquamarine is a variety of Beryl which is colored by iron trace elements that form minute internal characteristics giving the stone a moss-like appearance. Moss Aquamarine is most recognizably a greenish blue hue showing mossy features within a transparent gem. Aquamarine evokes the purity of crystalline waters, and the exhilaration and relaxation of the sea. It is calming, soothing, and cleansing, and inspires truth, trust and letting go. In ancient lore, Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids, and was used by sailors as a talisman of good luck, fearlessness and protection. It was also considered a stone of eternal youth and happiness. [Simmons, 49] Today it protects all who travel by, over, or near water, and opens the channels of clear and heartfelt communication.

This gorgeous blue, sea colored Moss Aquamarine reminds me of blue gray water. The medium blue gray shade glistens when it reflects in the light. It is wrapped in a beautiful gold bezel atop a sterling silver band. This ring looks beautiful when worn by itself or stacked with other gold or silver rings.

This natural aquamarine gem is wrapped in solid 10K gold setting, measuring 9.3mm x 6.65mm, with a fine silver closed backing and rests upon a lightly hammered, sterling silver 2.5mm x 1mm band. There are a few small natural surface inclusions on the aquamarine. The ring is a Size 6.25 and can be enlarged to a Size 6.50, 6.75, 7 and Size 7.25.
