Why would you happen to have a loose Aquamarine. Some clients purchase loose diamonds whilst on their travels to exotic regions of the World. As a result, there are many examples lying dormant in drawers and jewellery boxes. As part of our work, we make design suggestions, many of which derive from previous work. For example, our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/uk\/education\/bespoke-engagement-rings-custom-made-jewellery\">bespoke design gallery gives some much-needed inspiration<\/a> for visitors to our website.<\/p>\n<h2>Sourcing the perfect Aquamarine<\/h2>\n<p>For those clients who do not already have an Aquamarine, we source most sizes, shapes and shades to suit our client&#8217;s preference and budget. Aquamarines come in most shapes and sizes. Paler stones tend to be less expensive. Deeper blues are more valuable\u2014especially in large sizes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquamarine-Emerald-Cut-Gemstones.jpg\" alt=\"Selection of loose Aquamarine Gemstones Emerald Cut\" width=\"850\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquamarine-Emerald-Cut-Gemstones.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquamarine-Emerald-Cut-Gemstones-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Aquamarine-Emerald-Cut-Gemstones-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Best precious metal choices for setting an Aquamarine<\/h2>\n<p>A beautiful Aquamarine is worthy of 950 Platinum or Gold. Gold comes in 3 colour choices. We typically work with 18ct White Gold, 18ct Yellow Gold and 18ct Rose Gold. Furthermore, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/serendipity-diamonds-offers-fairtrade-gold\/\">we favour Fairtrade Gold<\/a> which gives 100% ethical standards.<\/p>\n<h2>Aquamarine &#8211; the perfect gemstone for a statement ring<\/h2>\n<p>For anyone looking for impact, Aquamarine makes a perfect gemstone for a statement or dress ring. The equivalent diamond size blows most budgets completely out of the water. Aquamarine tends to provide a more affordable option. As a result you get more gemstone for your money.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15318\" src=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Emerald-cut-aquamarine-statement-dress-ring.jpg\" alt=\"Statement dress ring created in 18ct White Gold with an Emerald cut Aquamarine\" width=\"850\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Emerald-cut-aquamarine-statement-dress-ring.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Emerald-cut-aquamarine-statement-dress-ring-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.serendipitydiamonds.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Emerald-cut-aquamarine-statement-dress-ring-768x580.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>This 9 carat sized Aquamarine was set into 18ct White Gold to form a statement ring.
