Yes. Aquamarine is a hard and durable gemstone, making it suitable for daily wear in rings and bracelets. However, to maintain its "water-like" clarity, we recommend regular cleaning to remove lotions and oils, which can dull its sparkle more quickly than other stones.

Most aquamarine gemstones undergo a stable, permanent heat treatment to remove yellow or green undertones, resulting in the pure "sea blue" color that collectors crave. This process is widely accepted in the industry and does not affect the stone's value or durability.

While they may look similar, aquamarine is a rarer variety of the beryl mineral (the same family as emerald). It is more valuable because it is less abundant in nature and possesses a more subtle, natural-looking blue. Unlike blue topaz, which is often deeply saturated through irradiation, aquamarine's beauty lies in its natural transparency and soft tones.

To keep your aquamarine pendant or earrings sparkling, use warm water with a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush. It is best to avoid ultrasonic cleaners if the stone has significant inclusions. Always store your jewelry separately to avoid scratches from harder gems like diamonds.
