Create Aquamarine Jewelry Around Your Chosen Stone
Aquamarine is especially suited to custom jewelry because it can be found in a wide range of sizes, shapes and shades of blue. A bespoke setting allows those individual proportions to guide the finished piece rather than fitting the gemstone into a standard mounting.
What Can We Create?
A custom aquamarine commission can begin with a loose stone, an existing gemstone you would like to reset, a period piece that inspires you or simply an idea for something entirely new.
Aquamarine Rings
Solitaires, diamond trilogies, clusters, engagement rings and antique or Art Deco inspired designs.
Aquamarine Earrings
Studs, drops and articulated designs using matched aquamarines, diamonds and carefully balanced gemstone combinations.
Aquamarine Pendants
From simple single-stone pieces to diamond-set pendants and elaborate period-inspired drops.
Aquamarine Bracelets & Other Pieces
Custom bracelets and other fine jewelry can be developed around individual stones, matched aquamarines or repeating layouts.
Aquamarine can offer impressive visible size without requiring an excessively complicated design. A beautifully proportioned blue stone can often carry a piece with only restrained diamond or metal detailing.
Choosing Aquamarine for Custom Jewelry
Color, cut and visible dimensions should all be considered together.
Aquamarine can range from very pale blue to richer and more saturated tones. Some stones retain a slightly greenish component, while others show a cleaner blue appearance.
Carat weight does not tell the whole story. Two aquamarines of the same weight can face up very differently depending on their depth and proportions.
For ring-specific guidance, see our custom aquamarine rings page.
Aquamarine Shapes and Cuts
Aquamarine is available in a particularly broad range of cuts.
Emerald cuts emphasize clean lines and work naturally with geometric settings. Ovals and cushions are versatile choices for diamond surrounds, while pear-shaped stones are especially effective in pendants and drop earrings.
Larger elongated stones can create impressive jewelry without needing a large number of surrounding diamonds.
What Does “Santa Maria” Aquamarine Mean?
“Santa Maria” is a trade term associated with strongly colored blue aquamarine, originally connected with material from the Santa Maria de Itabira area of Brazil.
Similar color descriptions may also be used more broadly in the market, so the term alone should not be treated as proof that a gemstone came from a particular geographic source.
For custom jewelry, the actual color, cut and appearance of the stone should remain more important than a trade name by itself.
Heat Treatment in Aquamarine
Heat treatment is commonly encountered in aquamarine and is often used to reduce greenish tones and produce a cleaner blue.
Treatment should be represented accurately where known, but it cannot reliably be determined from an ordinary photograph.
Where treatment information is particularly important to a significant purchase, appropriate gemological testing can be considered.
Custom Aquamarine and Diamond Jewelry
Diamond is one of the most natural companions for aquamarine.
White diamonds add brightness without introducing another strong color, while their scale and shape can change the character of the piece considerably.
Pear-shaped side diamonds create a softer transition, baguettes reinforce geometric lines and round diamonds provide stronger sparkle.
For rings focused specifically on this combination, see our bespoke aquamarine and diamond rings page.
Custom Aquamarine Rings
Aquamarine can be used in understated solitaires, diamond trilogies, clusters and more elaborate period-inspired rings.
Larger emerald-cut and cushion stones can provide considerable finger coverage, while smaller aquamarines can gain presence from carefully proportioned diamonds.
Setting height and exposed corners should be considered, particularly where the ring is intended for frequent wear.
Aquamarine Engagement Jewelry
Aquamarine can make a distinctive engagement ring, although it benefits from more considered wear than sapphire or diamond.
It has good scratch resistance for a colored gemstone, but hardness does not make a stone immune to chipping or impact.
Protective setting details, everyday habits and future wedding-band fit should therefore be considered during the design stage.
For engagement-specific guidance, see our custom aquamarine engagement rings page.
Custom Aquamarine Earrings
Aquamarine earrings can range from clean studs to articulated diamond drops.
With a pair of center stones, matching visible color and proportions is particularly important because the gemstones are viewed together.
Larger aquamarines can work beautifully in drop earrings, where their pale color and transparency produce an elegant effect in movement.
Custom Aquamarine Pendants
Pendants offer considerable freedom because the stone is generally exposed to less impact than it would be in a ring.
A large emerald-cut aquamarine can form a strong geometric centerpiece, while oval and pear-shaped stones lend themselves naturally to diamond-set drops.
Articulation, chain length and the way the pendant sits when worn can all be developed as part of the complete design.
Antique and Art Deco Inspired Aquamarine Jewelry
Aquamarine works especially well with early twentieth-century jewelry influences.
Edwardian-inspired pieces can combine pale blue aquamarine with fine diamonds, milgrain and light platinum-style settings.
Art Deco designs can take a more architectural direction, using emerald-cut stones, baguettes, stepped borders and strong geometry.
For ring inspiration, see our custom Art Deco style rings .
Choosing the Precious Metal
Yellow Gold
Creates a warm contrast against blue aquamarine and works particularly well in antique-inspired and two-tone designs.
White Gold
Produces a cool, clean appearance and blends naturally with diamond accents around the aquamarine.
Platinum
Particularly effective for diamond-intensive, Edwardian and Art Deco inspired aquamarine jewelry.
Two-Tone
Combines a warm yellow-gold body with pale metal around the stones, creating contrast while keeping the gemstone setting crisp.
Using Your Own Aquamarine or Heirloom Stones
An aquamarine you already own can potentially become the starting point for an entirely new piece.
A stone removed from an older ring might become a pendant, while existing diamonds can potentially be rearranged around it in a new trilogy or cluster.
Exact length, width, depth and condition should be considered before resetting, especially with older gemstones that have already seen substantial wear.
How Much Does Custom Aquamarine Jewelry Cost?
The cost depends on the aquamarine, supporting diamonds or gemstones, precious metal and complexity of the design.
Color, cut, size and overall quality affect the center stone, while large diamond surrounds or shaped diamond accents can add considerably to more elaborate pieces.
A simple aquamarine pendant therefore has very different requirements from a platinum Art Deco ring or articulated pair of aquamarine and diamond earrings.
Providing a realistic target budget allows the stone and design to be developed together from the beginning.
Why CAD Matters in Custom Aquamarine Jewelry
Aquamarines can be large and relatively deep, making exact dimensions particularly important.
CAD allows the gemstone placement, proportions, dimensions and construction to be reviewed before production begins.
For rings this can include setting height and shank width. For pendants and earrings it can help refine articulation, stone spacing and overall length.
The detailed 3D CAD carries a $25 non-refundable design fee. If the commission proceeds, the $25 is deducted from the final bill.
What types of custom aquamarine jewelry can you make?
Rings, earrings, pendants, bracelets and other bespoke aquamarine pieces can be developed depending on the gemstones and design required.
Can you add diamonds to an aquamarine design?
Yes. Diamonds can be used as side stones, halos, clusters, accents or geometric elements depending on the piece.
Can you create Art Deco aquamarine jewelry?
Yes. Emerald-cut aquamarines, baguette diamonds, stepped borders and geometric pale-metal settings work particularly well.
Can I use an aquamarine I already own?
Potentially, yes. Its exact measurements and condition should be considered before the new setting is developed.
Is aquamarine suitable for everyday jewelry?
Aquamarine has good scratch resistance, but it can still chip or become damaged through impact, so setting design and how the piece will be worn matter.
Is aquamarine commonly heat treated?
Yes. Heat treatment is commonly encountered and is often used to reduce greenish tones and produce a cleaner blue appearance.
Does “Santa Maria” prove where an aquamarine came from?
No. The term is associated with strongly colored blue aquamarine but should not by itself be treated as proof of geographic origin.
How much does the CAD design cost?
The detailed 3D CAD costs $25. The fee is non-refundable, but it is deducted from the final bill if the piece proceeds to production.
When do I pay for my custom jewelry?
A 40% deposit is required after you approve the final CAD. The remaining 60% is paid after you have seen the finished jewelry and before dispatch.
