Blue Gemstone Rings, Timeless
Blue gems have always received a warm welcome from style savvy jewelry lovers. And by always we mean, even before Kate Middleton wore a sapphire diamond engagement ring, the same blue sapphire that graced the finger of (late) Lady Diana. Nature has showered us with some awesome blue creations - the sky, the oceans and surely an amazing range of blue gemstones. Humans in turn cannot resist the temptation to add some blue to their life, dresses, coats, ties and that blue bling delivered by gemstones. Many centuries ago it was presumed that sapphire was the only gem that was blue in color, any blue stone that was discovered was presumed to be a sapphire! Historians now believe that many references to 'sapphires' in the bible in reality, implied what we today know as blue lapis lazuli.
Few gem lovers do not care for blue gemstones though, each of us might like a different shade of blue and therefore prefer a specific blue gem. Aquamarine the pale blue variety of beryl has been known for thousands of years, the gemstone is very popular even today. In recent years there is low visibility of aquamarine rings for one simple reason, the price of this gem has risen quite rapidly. Though light blue (sky blue) topaz can sometimes imitate the color of aquamarine, the two gems have a different luster that can be identified by an experienced eye. However since sky blue topaz is priced significantly lower than aquamarine, you might want to consider topaz if color is your only requirement. The CR-006 Claddagh Aquamarine Claddagh Ring, is a heart aquamarine ring that is widely acclaimed as the world's most meaningful jewels. While aquamarine can be set in all metal colors, the pastel blue color of the gem is best seen in white gold, 925 silver or platinum.
