How do I know if my aquamarine ring is real?
To determine if your aquamarine ring is real, look for key characteristics like colour, clarity, and light reflection.
Genuine aquamarine has a clear, pale blue to deep blue hue with excellent transparency and a subtle glow. If the stone appears overly vivid or has bubbles inside, it may be glass or synthetic.
A real aquamarine should also feel cool to the touch and have a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, meaning it won’t scratch easily with a fingernail but can still be scratched by harder materials like sapphire or diamond.
For an accurate assessment, Matthew Ely Jewellery can examine your ring using gemmological tools to verify authenticity, checking for natural inclusions and testing its optical properties.
Is aquamarine a birthstone?
Yes, aquamarine is the birthstone for March. It is believed to bring peace, good luck, and protection to those born in this month. An aquamarine ring makes a meaningful gift for March birthdays or anyone who appreciates the gemstone’s calming beauty.
