About Aquamarine
Aquamarine is the pale-to-medium blue variety of beryl — the same mineral family as emerald — colored by trace iron. The finest aquamarines come from Brazil and Madagascar and display a clear, saturated sky-blue without green undertones. Aquamarine scores 7.5–8 on Mohs (durable for daily wear) and is the March birthstone and 19th-anniversary gem. The Latin name means 'water of the sea,' and in nautical tradition the stone was carried by sailors as a talisman of safe passage.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
