Aquamarine and Diamond Ring in 18K White Gold

Refresh your eyes every day with a cool dip into the watery blue of aquamarine, a gem named after the sea that symbolizes happiness. Like emerald, it’s the mineral beryl. This pastel blue gem was said to have the power to calm the waves and keep sailors safe at sea. March’s birthstone is also said to deepen the harmony of relationships. Its legendary power to ensure a long and happy marriage makes it a good anniversary gift any year and aquamarine is also the 19th anniversary gem. A dream of aquamarine means that you will meet new friends.

Creating 18K white gold is jeweler’s alchemy. To make luxurious 18K white gold, 75% pure golden yellow gold is alloyed with 25% white metals, usually silver, zinc, or palladium. These metals also increase its durability and hardness. To get that bright white shine, most 18K white gold jewelry is plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
