Aquamarine has the colour of morning light filtered through water, serene, steady, and full of quiet promise. Once believed to calm the sea and protect travellers, this luminous stone has long been associated with peace after turmoil.
Today, the meaning of an aquamarine ring is deeply modern: clarity of thought, courage of heart, and a reminder to breathe through change.
What Does an Aquamarine Ring Symbolise?
For centuries, sailors carried aquamarine as a charm against rough seas.
In ancient lore it represented renewal, safety, and clear communication, qualities as necessary in love as they are at sea.
At Bianca Jones Jewellery, aquamarine holds a deeper resonance: the idea that calm can be chosen. Its soft blue is a mirror of self-trust, the light that returns after a storm, a reminder that gentleness can also be strong.
Whether gifted, self-purchased, or worn as a daily talisman, an aquamarine ring becomes a quiet kind of vow: to move through life with grace and to find stillness even when the tide is high.

Can Aquamarine Be an Engagement Ring?
Yes, beautifully so. With a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, aquamarine is strong enough for everyday wear and ideal for those seeking something more personal than tradition.
Choosing aquamarine as an engagement ring speaks of individuality and emotional clarity.
It’s for the woman who values intention over convention; who sees commitment not as permanence but as presence, being fully in the moment she chooses.
Where diamond feels classic, aquamarine feels alive. Its blue light changes with the day, shifting from pale mist to ocean depth, a living reflection of modern love.

Can You Wear an Aquamarine Ring Every Day?
Absolutely. Aquamarine’s durability makes it perfectly suited to daily wear — simply avoid harsh chemicals, abrasives, or sudden impacts.
Think of it as jewellery that grows more personal with each day’s touch.
Wearing aquamarine is an act of steadiness — a daily decision to carry calm with you, whatever the weather.

How Much Does an Aquamarine Ring Cost?
Like the sea it mirrors, aquamarine’s value depends on depth and clarity. The palest stones have a soft, watery glow, while deeper shades, rare and more saturated, command higher prices. Most fine aquamarine rings sit comfortably below diamond price points, offering a precious yet accessible alternative for modern heirloom seekers.
What truly defines its worth, though, is not just the carat or cut, it’s the meaning you attach to it. A reminder that value can also be measured in intention.

Which Finger Should You Wear an Aquamarine Ring On?
Traditionally, engagement and promise rings are worn on the left ring finger, symbolising love and devotion. But in modern jewellery, many wear aquamarine on the right hand as a mark of independence or renewal, a self-purchase celebrating a personal milestone.
Whether left or right, what matters most is the story it tells when it catches the light.
Caring for Your Aquamarine Jewellery
To keep its brilliance, clean gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth.
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and extreme temperature shifts, which can stress the stone.
When not worn, tuck it into a soft pouch or separate box, it deserves rest as much as you do.
Each polish is a pause, a moment to reconnect with the reason you chose it in the first place.
