When an aquamarine is to be assessed, it is done based on the four C's. The four C's is the English term for color, clarity, cut, carat. Translated into English, aquamarine's value is judged based on color, clarity, cut and carat.

Aquamarine's color: The colors of aquamarine stones can vary from a light blue or green, to a deep dark blue color. A darker aquamarine in a deep dark blue color with green tones tends to have fewer flaws and is therefore often considered a more valuable stone.

Aquamarine crystals: Like many other gemstones, aquamarine stones can vary in size. Some stones come in small sizes, while aquamarine stones weighing more than 20+ kg have been found before. If an aquamarine is to have the deep intense color of blue and green, the stone should ideally have a carat of 5 or more.

Aquamarine's clarity: Aquamarine in its faceted form is often what is called eye-clean. This means that when you look at the stone, you will not be able to see any flaws. This is why this semi-precious stone is also popular in jewelry. Here you will find many forms of aquamarine jewelry such as rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces. If the gemstone should have obvious flaws, they are not wasted. Instead, they are used to make beads and other aquamarine carvings.

Aquamarine's cut: Aquamarine gemstones are cut into various shapes. Among others, you will be able to find them in oval and emerald shapes. These blue-green gemstones are known for their solidity and transparency. This is why it is also a popular gemstone among jewelry designers

So what is the price of the aquamarine stone? The dull answer is that it varies depending on whether the semi-precious stone is genuine or not. However, it is fairly normal for a piece of jewelry made with a natural aquamarine by a jewelry designer to be sold for more than 10,000 kr.

We always recommend warm water with a bit of soap as the best cleaning method for semi-precious stones. The same applies to aquamarine. This method is safe and gentle on your valuable beads and stones.
You can also use ultrasonic or steam cleaning tools. However, you should be aware of whether your beads have liquid inclusions or cracks in them. If that is the case, although it occurs extremely rarely, we strongly recommend cleaning everything from your jewelry with semi-precious stones, to beads and stones, with regular warm water and soap.

If you are unlucky enough, you may experience that the beads will break.
