Aquamarine Engagement Rings

Written by Ring - Saturday, 23 January 2010

If your birthday falls in March, that makes you either a Pisces or an Aries, and your birthstone aquamarine. Aquamarine, like its name suggests, is blue or turquoise in color whose shade can look brilliant in large quantities and more subtle in small amounts. It is actually not a gemstone in itself, but a variant of beryl, a crystallized mineral that comes in various other colors like green, red, yellow and white due to impurities contained inside of it. Pure beryl without impurities has no color but this is relatively rare to find. You might be more familiar with green beryl as emerald, the birthstone of May.
 

Aquamarine a versatile stone

Aquamarine is a very versatile stone, and it makes for a wide selection of aquamarine engagement rings with various cuts, sizes and styles. And jewelry isn’t just for women, men and children can wear aquamarine rings too and choose styles accordingly. aquamarine engagement rings can be petite, or they can be big and bold. They can be modern and haute couture, or they can be timeless and old fashioned. Bands can come in many different styles like simple, curled or Celtic.

Pear shaped diamond rings are very beautiful, but because of the shape of the diamond which mimics a pear they can be very expensive. These rings often have 1ct diamonds and above.

Ask anyone who’s engaged to be married what the ultimate symbol of your love would be. I’d bet that your wedding ring is the number one answer. After all, when you say your vows, it’s the mutual presentation of the wedding ring that binds you together from that day forward, sealed with a kiss. ‘Til death do you part’, you’ll be wearing that ring every day of your life. So when you choose your wedding rings, you want them to be special. A custom jewelry design is thus the perfect answer. You’ll be assured that no one else has a ring quite like yours, symbolizing the uniqueness of your love, as no other ring can do.

When the ring doesn’t quite fit

You and your true love may have spent countless hours scoping out every jewelry store in town, looking for the wedding rings that perfectly describe your tie to your soul mate. While it’s often said, ‘diamonds are forever’, there are many diamond rings which don’t bespeak that Romeo and Juliet sentiment you seek. If you find this to be the case, the custom jewelry designer may well have just what you want.

Unique and personal design

A custom jewelry design can encapsulate all your hopes and dreams in an artistic and unique expression of what your love means. While commercial wedding ring designs are limited, the custom jeweler can create whatever your hearts desire. Let’s say that you are both of a Renaissance mindset. Ornate designs fascinate you. Inscriptions are important. A motif of roses reminds you that your true love is your knight in shining armor. You prefer a sapphire to a diamond. You want the magic of your love to be described in your wedding ring. Without a doubt, you need a custom jewelry design to incorporate all of these elements.

Can be affordable

If you think that a custom jewelry design is not affordable, think again. Commercial designs are not cheap! Jewelers who specialize in custom jewelry design are artisans, possessed of the same romantic notions as you. They revel in the artistry required to produce something different from the run of the mill. The price of gold and precious gems remains the same. For these jewelry designers, satisfying your heart’s desire is the name of the game.

Check out some of these websites and see what they have to offer. Make contact with a few that look promising. Let them know what you’re looking for in terms of style, materials and price. Ask if you can send them a basic sketch of your perfect design, with a request for their suggestions on how you might best achieve the perfect custom jewelry design for your wedding rings.

It won’t be long before your inbox is filled with eager designer’s responses. With a good custom jewelry designer, your wedding day will be just perfect.
