This fine size is suitable for delicate necklaces, stacked bracelets, rosary chains and minimalist earrings; aquamarine pairs naturally with silver tones and brightens next to gold. 0.5 mm fine hole: plan on a 0.3 mm nylon thread, a fine cable or a bead needle.

Limited selection: this aquamarine comes from a one-time batch. It will not be restocked once this lot is sold.

A bit of gemology: aquamarine is the blue variety of beryl, a beryllium and aluminum silicate, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈, a cousin of emerald. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system, has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale and a density of about 2.7. Its color is due to traces of iron: ferrous iron gives the blue, ferric iron a greenish tint. Its name comes from the Latin aqua marina, "seawater". The main deposits are found in Brazil (Minas Gerais), Madagascar, Mozambique, Nigeria and Pakistan.

Worth knowing: aquamarine is often heated at low temperature to reduce its green reflections and reveal a purer blue; this common, stable treatment cannot be ruled out here. It should be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.

In lithotherapy: aquamarine is associated with the throat chakra. A stone of sailors, who wore it to cross the seas safely, it is credited with virtues of calm, clarity and ease of expression.

The thread you will receive: the photos and video show a thread from the batch your order comes from. Color, inclusions and shades are therefore representative of what you will receive; as each stone is natural, slight variations from one bead to another are part of its character.

100% natural product: size, shape, color and number of beads may vary slightly from one thread to another. Dimensions and quantities are given as an indication.

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Guide to good practices for caring for your jewelry

Few objects are imperishable and last over time. Your jewelry, regardless of price or composition, will live with you and thus show signs of aging. This is perfectly normal and does not call the quality into question.

Here are some tips to keep them in the best condition for as long as possible.

  • Remove your jewelry before washing, bathing, and during beauty routines (cream, perfume...). This will help preserve the gold plating in good condition and not damage the Gemstones. Rest assured, the Prémium Perles Corner metals are of very good quality and will survive occasional exposure to water.
  • Avoid chemical products. Contrary to what one might think, doing the dishes, swimming in chlorinated water... does not go well with metals and stones.
  • Be sure to store your jewelry properly. When you are not wearing them, we recommend storing your jewelry in a case, a suede pouch, a zip bag, and especially not in a humid room like the bathroom.
  • Clean your jewelry with soapy water. Avoid chemical products or toothpaste, which could be too harsh for metals and stones. Regular maintenance, once a month, is sufficient. Be sure to dry them well afterward.

In conclusion, your jewelry, like all things, are objects that need attention and respect so you can enjoy them for as long as possible. With these few tips, they should accompany you for years!
