While the basic longings for jewelry
remain unchanged, the perspectives
have changed in a large way. Today's

keep them locked in the bank vaults,
and take them out for select
occasions only.

confident women look for the kind of
jewelry which they can wear every
day - in work place or the
discotheque as well as in the social
functions. As such the contemporary,
trendy design is slowly but steadily

same is also true for aquamarine
necklaces. Some tips to pick the
aquamarine necklace of your choice.
First of all, you have to decide
whether you will buy a ready made
necklace or buy the stones
separately to make the necklace to
your order.
As for the ready made necklaces you
can choose from a plethora of
options that the internationally
acclaimed jewelry houses world over
offer. But before deciding on a
particular piece, you can do some
window shopping which will provide
you with the view about contemporary
designs and that are available in
the market at the given point of
time and their comparative prices.
Next important thing is the fixing
of budget in advance and never
forget to demand a buy-back
guarantee from then jewelry store.
Now, if you are very choosy or a
perfectionist to the core, you have
to go for a made-to-order piece, buy
the stone and the gold or whatever
metals you choose for setting the
stones, separately.
So far as the metal is concerned,
always ensure that the gold is Hall
Marked. But the most difficult part
of the game is choosing the right
stone and for that you have to make
some home work on aquamarine gem
stone. A symbol of love and loyalty,
aquamarine is found in a range of
blue shades such as greenish blue or
a deep blue of the sea. It is the
birth stone of March and a very good
Feng shui enhancer. Since aquamarine
is associated with throat chakra
(fifth throat center), an aquamarine
gems bead necklace has an
exceptional therapeutic value.
Aquamarines show a wonderful range
of usually light blue. But the most
prized colours are fine and
intensely deep sky blue. Green under
tones reduces their prices. The more
intense the color of an aquamarine,
the higher is the value. More
saturated colours are unusual in
small sizes. A minimum size is
required to contain its dark shade.
The highest quality aquamarine is
transparent. Unlike its green
brother emerald, aquamarine is
usually almost free of inclusions.
Is Aquamarine a right choice for
Necklace?
It is a very hard gem stone (7_to 7_
on the
Mohs' scale), proving to be a
good choice for any kind of jewelry.
However the inexpensive, treated,
deep blue topazes are often mistaken
as aquamarines. But aquamarine can
be easily distinguished from topazes
from their higher degree of
hardness. Always remember to keep
aquamarine jewelry in a dark place,
as it often becomes paler if left
out in the sun. Aquamarine should
always be cleaned only with ultra
sonic jewelry cleaner. Lastly here
are some ideas of necklace designs
that are making appearances in the
international trend charts. First of
all, fusion is the calling card of
the moment.
Aquamarine Necklace Styles
Pendant sets with large pendant have
become popular. The chunkiness of
the pendant has lost its appeal; the
length is being given the utmost
importance. The pendants hug from
the delicately woven chains, either
in yellow or white gold making busy
rounds. Along with the aquamarines
the pendants are teamed with
diamonds and other colorful gems.
The Italian chains either in white
or yellow gold in the latest fabric
finish could beautifully carry a
uniquely cut aquamarine. The
aquamarine with a textured gold
finished with rustic look makes a
bold fashion statement globally.
Then the combination of aquamarine
and
platinum which is regarded as
the purest of all metals, can become
a festive statement, and can still
retail its casual value much after
the season is over. Aquamarine, with
its light color, clearness and
transparency steals the hearts of
modern designers. Either in modern
innovative cuts or in classical step
cut, either in gold or platinum or
silver, either with pearls or with
diamond - it looks equally stunning
and fascinating. So no wonder,
aquamarine necklaces find a very
special place of importance in the
modern ladies' wardrobe.
