Description

This pendant shines like a shimmering drop of tropical seawater. The wonderful gemstone, an aquamarine of a clear, light blue color, reflects the incident light with its numerous facets in a variety of ways. The impressive gemstone weighs more than 28 carats. The stone is cut in the so-called "briolette cut", which creates an all-round faceted drop from the rough crystal. Incidentally, this blue gemstone takes its name from its similarity to water - "aqua marina" is Latin for seawater. It therefore seems particularly ingenious that the aquamarine has been cut into a drop here. The teardrop-shaped aquamarine is combined with sixteen brilliant-cut diamonds that sparkle white like the spray over the waves. The aquamarine and diamonds are set in high-carat white gold, which further enhances the bright, fresh color tone of the pendant. Thanks to its hinged eyelet, the piece of jewelry can also be worn on a pearl necklace or a silk cord. The pendant is in very good condition and comes with an in-house certificate and an external gemological report. We discovered it in Hamburg.

As a protective stone for sailors, a gemstone for lovers or a stone that promises wisdom - aquamarine has been one of the most highly valued gemstones for thousands of years. Even in ancient times, people revered it for its brilliance and its color, which is reminiscent of the sea and a cloudless sky. According to tradition, it was also believed that the gemstone could appease the god of the sea, Poseidon: sailors therefore threw aquamarine overboard during raging storms to soothe the sea god's anger. In the Middle Ages, aquamarines were placed in the reliquaries of saints, often as peepholes to look inside the goldsmith's work, as aquamarines are usually particularly pure and without inclusions. The brightest, whitest beryls were even used to make spectacle lenses - which is where our word for aquamarine comes from!
