Here at Usinjewel, we want to make sure that jewelry buyers are informed about the different options that are available. In recent years, buyers have been able to choose between earth-mined/natural aquamarine or Lab Aquamarine Ring for their jewelry. So, what are the differences, and how are they important to the jewelry buyer?
Named after the color of sea water, aquamarine is the blue to blue-green member of the beryl family. All aquamarine, both natural and synthetic, is a variety of beryl. This is a naturally-occurring ore of the element beryllium, more properly called beryllium aluminum silicate. When geological conditions are right, this mixture forms beautiful hexagonal crystals that are blue in color.Beryl comes in a variety of colors, which determines the type of gem. Most famously, dark green beryl is called emerald, while morganite is pink, and aquamarine is blue to blue-green.
Whether natural or lab created, aquamarine is a very durable gemstone. That’s because beryl has a Mohs hardness of 7.5-8. This places it between quartz and corundum (sapphires and rubies) and means it’s suitable for jewelry that will be worn every day. Perhaps that’s one reason why more couples are choosing an aquamarine engagement ring.
If you have wished to own jewellery containing a natural aquamarine gemstone but found it too expensive, you can enjoy the beauty of aquamarine by buying Lab Aquamarine Ring at a fraction of the cost of natural aquamarine. Aquamarine is a type of spinel.
Synthetic spinel, was first produced accidentally during an attempt to make a satisfactory blue synthetic sapphire by the Verneuil process. Instead of the blue sapphire they discovered synthetic spinels like Lab Aquamarine Ring. These lab created aquamarine are exact copy of their Natural counterparts. The real Aquamarine is very expensive but the top quality Lab Aquamarine Ring is very cheap in comparison.
The aquamarine birthstone month is March. Our Lab Aquamarine Ring is used as a birthstone for the month of March the same as nutural aquamarine. Its best to wear this stone when you are in your 19th year of marriage.
Price and the reputation of your local jeweler are also good ways to know if aquamarine jewelry is made with natural or lab-created aquamarine. By law, jewelers are supposed to inform consumers which one is being offered for sale, and whether or not there are any treatments. Be sure to ask questions, and understand what you are buying.
Likewise, price is a big giveaway. Lab grown aquamarine is much less expensive than natural, at least in part because it is less rare. Production costs are much lower, as well. Remember, lab created stones imitate the highest quality natural ones, at a fraction of the cost.
You don’t want to spend thousands of dollars on an aquamarine white gold ring, only to find out you have been sold something that is much less valuable. On the other hand, for someone with a low budget that wants to make a statement, lab-created jewelry is a good option.
No matter what your style or budget, Usinjewel has the perfect lab aquamarine rings for you. Our rings are crafted from the highest quality materials and are designed to last a lifetime. Plus, because they are lab-grown, you can enjoy all the glamour and luxury of a aquamarine ring at a fraction of the cost.
