How to Choose the Perfect Stone for Your Engagement Ring

 

Choosing the right gemstone for your engagement ring is a meaningful and exciting step in your journey. At Aquamarise, we offer a variety of gemstones to match your style, personality, and practical needs. Below, we’ll walk you through important factors to consider when selecting the perfect stone for your ring.

Durability: Choose a Stone That Lasts

One of the most important aspects of choosing a gemstone for an engagement ring is durability. Your engagement ring is something you'll wear daily, so it's essential to pick a stone that can withstand the rigors of daily life. We recommend selecting gemstones that are harder than 8 on the Mohs scale to ensure long-term durability. Harder stones are more resistant to scratches and chips, making them ideal for engagement rings that will stand the test of time.

Here’s a quick look at some popular gemstones and their hardness:

  • Diamond: 10 (the hardest gemstone, making it incredibly durable)
  • Moissanite: 9.25 (a brilliant and durable diamond alternative)
  • Sapphire: 9 (a stunning and durable choice for a non-traditional ring)
  • Ruby: 9 (another tough and timeless option)
  • Alexandrite: 8.5 (known for its color-changing properties and durability)
  • Topaz: 8 (a beautiful choice with good durability)
  • Aquamarine: 7.5-8 (perfect for those who love a touch of the ocean’s beauty)
  • Moss Agate: 6.5-7 (an enchanting stone for nature-inspired designs)

Stones softer than 8 on the Mohs scale, such as moss agate, opals, or moonstones, while breathtakingly beautiful, require more careful wear and maintenance. These are still a fantastic choice for those who prefer their unique aesthetics but may not be ideal for everyday use.

Types of Gemstones We Offer

At Aquamarise, we offer a variety of gemstones to suit every style and budget. You’ll find the following options in our collection:

  • Natural Gemstones: Ethically sourced and hand-selected, these are genuine stones formed by nature. Their rarity and beauty make them a timeless choice.
  • Lab-Grown Gemstones: These gems are chemically and physically identical to their natural counterparts but are grown in a controlled environment. Lab-grown gemstones offer an eco-friendly and affordable option without compromising on quality or brilliance.
  • Simulated Gemstones: If you love the look of high-end gemstones but are working within a budget, simulated gemstones are a perfect choice. These stones mimic the appearance of natural gemstones but at a fraction of the price.

Please be sure to check the item description for more information about the specific gemstone in each piece.

These earrings are beautiful. They are eye catching. I love them.

A Dreamy Pink Morganite Ring

I absolutely love my ring! The fantasy cut morganite sparkles beautifully and the soft pink color is even more stunning in person. The leaf band design is so delicate and unique, and the whole piece feels very special. Shipping was quick and everything arrived perfectly.
It came with a really pretty, soft purple box (53mm × 61mm), which was such a lovely surprise. The stone is about 1.2 ct. (8×6mm) and I'm size 5 US.
Thank you so much, Aquamarise, this piece truly feels like a little work of art, and I couldn’t be happier with it.

We’re overjoyed to hear that you love your ring and find it to be a little work of art! It’s great to know that the design and packaging added to your experience. Thank you for your wonderful feedback!

Totally in love with them! 🥰

This couple ring set is absolutely stunning! The deep purple tones and unique fantasy-inspired design make them stand out from ordinary rings. What I love most is how eye-catching and different they are—perfect for anyone who wants something stylish, meaningful, and a little magical. 💜✨

We’re thrilled to hear that you’re totally in love with the rings! It’s wonderful that the unique design and deep purple tones resonate with you. Thank you for sharing your magical experience! ✨

Absolutely in love

My husband proposed to me with this gorgeous ring in silver, and I got both bands when we said, "I do". Not only is it perfect because the ring and I share the same name, but it also keeps up with day-to-day activities and is really durable. My rings are always shiny, and I get so many compliments on them! I highly recommend this set for a refreshing take on a classic look. The color changes of the Alexandrite are gorgeous and never fail to take my breath away. Truly a unique set. Love it to pieces, pictures don't do it justice.

We’re overjoyed to hear that you love your ring and that it holds such special meaning for you! It’s wonderful that it’s both beautiful and durable for your daily activities. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation! ✨
