Aquamarine is a beautiful blue—green gemstone that has been valued since ancient times. Blue aquamarines adorn the jewelry of elite jewelers around the world, mainly due to their light blue or deep blue color, which makes them special in every way. Aquamarines are usually faceted into a rectangular shape, as they are formed in nature in the form of solid long crystals.

Aquamarine shapes form the basis of most designs used in jewelry. Aquamarines are worn by members of royal families, for example, the royal family of Great Britain. These precious stones are used by jewelers even in Asian markets due to their feng shui-related properties, which Chinese buyers also believe in.
