Andromeda Aquamarine Engagement Ring Setting in White Gold

Aquamarine is a 7.5-8 on the Moh’s scale, so it’s one of the harder gemstones, able to stand up considerably well to everyday wear. Aquamarine could be a good choice for an engagement ring. 

Historically aquamarine was worn by sailors or travellers for protection. It’s also the birthstone of March and the 19th anniversary stone.

Aquamarine is much more affordable than diamonds, and generally less expensive than a sapphire.

Generally if a stone is lighter, silver coloured metal like white gold will bring out the colour more, whereas with darker toned stones, a yellow gold could provide a strong and interesting contrast. It comes down to personal preference and the design you’re looking to create.
