In this blog, we’ll dive into the world of aquamarine and ruby rings, exploring their symbolism, design variations, occasions they suit best, and tips for choosing the perfect one for yourself or a loved one.
Aquamarine Rings: Elegance in Every Shade of Blue
What Is Aquamarine?
Derived from the Latin phrase aqua marina, meaning “water of the sea,” aquamarine is a light blue to bluish-green variety of the mineral beryl. Its calming hue is often associated with tranquility, clarity, and emotional balance.
Historically, sailors used to carry aquamarine as a talisman to protect themselves at sea. Today, the stone continues to symbolize peace, hope, and clear communication.
Why Choose an Aquamarine Ring?
Aquamarine rings are ideal for those who love minimalist elegance and soft, soothing colors. They make for unique engagement rings, birthday gifts, or “just because” purchases for those born in March—the birthstone month for aquamarine.
Popular Styles of Aquamarine Rings
At Kherish, we offer a variety of aquamarine ring styles to suit every taste:
Solitaire Aquamarine Rings – Clean and classic with a single stone.
Vintage-Inspired Designs – Featuring intricate filigree or milgrain settings.
Aquamarine Halo Rings – A center stone surrounded by diamonds for extra sparkle.
Stackable Aquamarine Bands – Perfect for layering or daily wear.
Whether you prefer white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold settings, aquamarine beautifully complements all metal types.
Ruby Rings: Bold, Romantic, and Timeless
The Allure of Rubies
Few gemstones can rival the intense beauty and symbolism of the ruby. Often associated with love, courage, and vitality, rubies have been prized by royalty and civilizations throughout history.
Rubies are a variety of the mineral corundum and come in hues ranging from pinkish-red to deep crimson. In ancient cultures, they were believed to carry the power of life due to their blood-like color.
Why Choose a Ruby Ring?
Ruby rings are the ultimate symbol of passion and strength. They are especially popular for:
Engagements and Anniversaries – As a vibrant alternative to diamonds.
July Birthstone Gifts – Rubies represent July-born individuals.
Valentine’s Day or Romantic Celebrations – To express deep love and emotion.
