Aquamarine Gold

Aquamarine is a light blue gemstone that was discovered around two thousand years ago. The name of stone has its origins in the Latin language. It is a combination of “aqua” – which means “water” and “mare” with translates to “sea” in Latin. The Greeks are credited with the first use of aquamarine for jewelry around the fourth or fifth century BC. From here, aquamarine spread around the world along established trade routes. As time passed, the popularity of aquamarine increased, and peaked around the seventeenth century. When it comes to jewelry applications, the color of aquamarine has won the hearts of jewelry aficionados around the world. This is because the light blue color of the stone is quite neutral and as such, can be easily matched with all skin tones and eye colors. In fact, the color is so very mild that it is often used in jewelry and ornaments for babies and young children. Light colored stones can sometimes be heat treated to intensify their colors. In most cases, the change in color is permanent. One interesting note about aquamarine – it is found in nature in crystalline as well as in glassy or amorphous forms. The glassy form is often found in odd shapes, some with holes in them.

Jewelry designers prefer to use stones that have an intense and deep color. Stones that have tinges of yellow and brown are considered to be less valuable and less desirable compared to specimens with a pure blue color. One disadvantage of the light color of this stone is that flaws are readily apparent even to an inexperienced observer. Stones that contain flaws such as inclusions and fracture planes are not as valuable as flawless specimens. Cutting and polishing aquamarine specimens are relatively easy and therefore easy to work into a wide range of jewelry designs and patterns. Aquamarine is almost always cut with facets for jewelry applications.

Robert Starer: Solo Piano Music, 1946-1996 $11.59 Robert Starer, who was born in Vienna and raised in Palestine, now lives in upstate New York. He worked for a time as an accompanist, and he writes extremely well for the piano. I don't think Starer has the kind of musical imagination that creates great miniatures, so the little pieces, of which we have one set and part of another, don't show him at his best. But his larger works have real su...
