Edwardian Aquamarine Engagement Rings
Experience the ethereal beauty of our Edwardian Aquamarine Engagement Rings. Known for their serene blue tones and exceptional clarity, aquamarines were the perfect match for the "white" look of the Edwardian era. These rings reflect the lightness and refinement of the early 1900s, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional engagement stones for those who love the icy brilliance of the sea.
Our curated selection of edwardian aquamarine engagement rings showcases the masterful use of platinum and gold that defined the period. These stones were often chosen for their delicate "water-like" appearance, set in mounts that resemble fine lace or architectural embroidery. Each ring is a testament to the grace of the Belle Époque, providing a timeless reminder of elegance and romantic tradition.

The Features of Edwardian Aquamarines
In an edwardian aquamarine engagement ring, the focus is on light and delicacy. Aquamarines of this period are often cut into "cushion," "oval," or "pear" shapes to maximise their internal glow. They are frequently accented by small diamonds or set into "milgrain" platinum borders, which add a shimmering texture without overpowering the main stone. The use of "filigree" metalwork ensures that every angle of the ring is a work of art.
Signature Edwardian Lace-Work
The craftsmanship of the Edwardian era is characterised by its incredible attention to detail. You will find aquamarines set into "Garland Style" motifs, featuring wreaths, bows, and scrolling floral patterns. The introduction of platinum allowed jewellers to create much stronger yet finer settings than ever before. This resulted in rings that are remarkably durable despite their delicate, "cobweb" appearance, making them ideal heirlooms.
A Serene Proposal of Elegance
Proposing with an edwardian aquamarine engagement ring is a gesture of refined love. The aquamarine symbolises "peace" and "everlasting youth," making it a meaningful choice for a couple starting their life together. Its subtle colour palette is incredibly versatile, suiting any skin tone and style, while its Edwardian pedigree ensures that your engagement ring will always be a conversation piece of historical significance.
