Find the Aquamarine Piece That Fits Your Style
Aquamarine is a member of the beryl group, just like emerald. However, unlike its fellow gemstone, it has greater transparency and clarity, with high-quality stones being completely see-through with no cloudiness. There are some specimens with a slight icy blue hue, while others tend to have a bluish green color.
Aquamarine has a distinct appearance compared to other blue gemstones.
Aquamarine is used extensively in jewellery as it is quite durable for regular wear. This gemstone’s hardness rate falls between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs scale, which means it can be used for rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, and bracelets.
Today, most aquamarine gems in jewellery are mined in Brazil, Madagascar, and Nigeria. The higher the clarity of an aquamarine stone and the stronger its color, the higher its value.

The colour has depth, the stone catches the light beautifully, and whether you are drawn to deep red tones or something a little brighter within the garnet family, it is the kind of gemstone that never feels flat or forgettable. Garnet is also more varied than many people realise. It is not just one red stone, but a gem family found in a wide range of colours.
Our Ring Collection
Aquamarine Rings
Aquamarine rings have a fresh and light appearance and do not carry the weight that some other dark stones have.
While some customers choose a vintage style featuring engraving, a milgrain edge or even filigree, others opt for a simple, elegant design, one which puts the emphasis on the stone. Both designs will work well depending on the type of aquamarine used and its color.

Colour
This One Detail Changes How Garnet Feels When You Wear It
A lot of people think Garnet means one look: deep red, dark, and traditional. But Garnet is far more varied than that. The tone you choose affects the whole mood of the piece, how bold it feels on you, and whether it reads more classic, romantic, or a little less expected. Garnets can occur in red, orange, yellow, purple, and vivid green, with some rare stones even showing colour change.
To make choosing easier, here is how different Garnet tones tend to feel when you wear them:
Rhodolite
brighter, pinker, and a little softer. This tone feels fresher and more romantic, especially if you want Garnet to feel lighter on the skin.
Green Garnet
vivid, crisp, and far less expected. Varieties like tsavorite and demantoid show just how striking Garnet can be when it moves away from red.
January Birthstone
Garnet, the Birthstone of January
If you were born in January, Garnet is a beautiful way to wear your birthstone with warmth and character. It has been recognised as January’s birthstone for a long time, and it remains one of the easiest birthstones to gift because it feels meaningful without being difficult to wear. Garnet is also the traditional gem for a second anniversary.
It also works especially well as a gift because it feels personal straight away. A Garnet piece has colour, depth, and a sense of intention to it, whether you are choosing something small and wearable or a piece that feels more significant. If you are shopping for a January birthday gift, this is the kind of gemstone that feels chosen, not generic.

Questions We Are Asked Most Often
What is Aquamarine?
Aquamarine is actually a member of the beryl family which includes emerald and morganite. The blue-green color of aquamarine is due to small amounts of iron within its molecular structure, while the natural transparency of the stone creates exceptional sparkle and shine in the finished piece of jewelry. It’s a reliable gemstone that retains its beauty in every light.
Which setting protects an aquamarine ring best for daily wear?
Bezel setting will protect your aquamarine by encircling the edges of the stone from potential damage due to daily usage. A halo setting surrounds the center stone with additional diamonds or gemstones and provides added protection to the edges of the stone. Claw setting exposes more of the edges of the stone, however also provides the best visibility of its color.
How do I start a custom aquamarine piece?
Send us an enquiry with what you have in mind: the piece type, the occasion, any images or references, and a rough budget. We will arrange a consultation in our Burnside studio or work through the details with you remotely. Stone selection, setting design, and metal choice are all decisions we make together, from the first conversation to the finished piece.
How do I check pricing and availability?
Contact us directly with the piece you are interested in or a description of what you are after. We will confirm what is currently available, provide pricing and outline lead times, then walk you through the next steps, whether that is a visit to our Adelaide studio or delivery within Australia.
