Is aquamarine expensive?

Aquamarine, with its soothing shades of cool blue and subtle hint of seaside mystery, has long enthralled people around the world. Yet when it comes to decorating oneself with this alluring gemstone, one critical question arises: Is Aquamarine Expensive? The answer holds many depths and variations similar to its vast ocean.

At EX3 Diamonds, we understand your desire for beautiful gemstones at an accessible price tag. Here, we explain aquamarine jewellery's affordability as well as factors influencing its cost.

Aquamarine - An Affordable Gem

In comparison with some gemstones, aquamarine provides an accessible gem. While rarer stones like diamonds or emeralds tend to command much higher prices than their good-quality aquamarine equivalent. At EX3 Diamonds you'll find stunning pieces like our classic 1ct TW Aquamarine 5mm Studs set in 10k white or yellow gold at reasonable costs - an excellent way to indulge without breaking the bank! Aquamarine makes for the ideal luxury without breaking the bank!

Understanding The Factors That Affect Aquamarine's Price

Although generally cost-effective, aquamarine jewellery prices may differ based on several variables that impact its price:

• Colour: The intensity and purity of blue hue have an immense bearing on value; deeper hues with minimal green or yellow undertones command higher prices, so browse our website to find aquamarine jewellery boasting exceptional colour saturation.
• Clarity: Like most gemstones, clarity plays an essential factor when pricing gems. Flawless or nearly flawless stones tend to command higher prices due to being rarer; however, some inclusions add personality and are sometimes seen as desirable traits by consumers; the final decision ultimately falls on you!
• Skilled Cut: EX3 Diamonds' expert jewellers take great care when cutting our aquamarine stones to optimize their natural brilliance and beauty, ultimately increasing their value.
• Carat Weight: Large aquamarine stones tend to be rarer and more costly; for everyday wear, however, smaller and well-cut aquamarine jewellery makes an affordable statement of beauty and affordability.

Fine Aquamarines Are Coveted

A rare aquamarine worth coveting exists: this rare gem with exceptional saturation of colour and carat weight can fetch considerably higher prices and be sought by collectors and jewellery connoisseurs. These so-called "fine" aquamarines are sought-after pieces.

Aquamarine and Blue Topaz: A Tale of Two Blues

Sometimes aquamarine and blue topaz, both beautiful blue gemstones, are pitted against each other. While their hues overlap somewhat, aquamarine usually fetches higher prices due to its historical importance and the wide spectrum of shades it displays.

Aquamarine Belies the Pricetag

Aquamarine has long been associated with tranquillity, hope and rejuvenation; making this gemstone's appeal all the more powerful for those celebrating birthdays during its designated month: March. As its birthstone, it adds special significance when choosing it as its birthday stone!
