Fantasy and nature-inspired engagement rings, wedding bands and keepsakes, designed by a small studio on Florida’s Gulf Coast since 2016.
Our jewelry is not only meant to be worn. It is meant to be remembered.
Our story
I’m Elizabeth McDowell, the founder and designer behind Aquamarise. I started the studio in Niceville, Florida, in 2016, with a sketchbook and a simple idea: a ring should reflect the person wearing it. I drew the first pieces myself, and every collection still begins on paper.
My husband, Wade, is a retired aerospace engineer, and his interest in space opened a new direction in my work. That influence became Starry Night®, our signature collection, recognizable for its midnight-blue goldstone and subtle, starlike sparkle.
In 2017, Wade founded Foreverings, a separate studio for couples drawn to simpler designs. My focus at Aquamarise remains on expressive gemstone jewelry, designed by hand.
Since 2016 we’ve made and shipped over 200,000 rings worldwide — and we’re still a small, family-run shop doing it all by hand.
Living on the Emerald Coast has shaped my eye for color. I see the greens of moss agate in the water and the pale blues of aquamarine in sea glass along the shore. The surrounding woods and evening skies are just as much a part of our nature-inspired engagement rings and celestial collections.
The books on our shelves bring other influences into the work. Often, though, the starting point is the gemstone itself: its color, its character, or the meaning associated with it. These details guide the design, keeping the stone at the center of the piece.

Materials
We work mostly in colored gemstones, and we tell you exactly what you are getting. Every listing states whether a stone is natural, lab-created or a simulant, and lists any treatment.
Our favorites are the ones with something to say: moss agate with its landscapes of green, color-changing alexandrite, opal, sapphire, aquamarine and moissanite, a lab-created gem we choose for brilliance and everyday durability. Lab-grown diamonds ship with an IGI or GIA grading report against the GIA 4Cs.
If you would like to compare before you choose, start with our guide to the best gemstones for engagement rings.
For metals, we work in rhodium-finished sterling silver, 14K and 18K yellow, white and rose gold, platinum, and gold vermeil over sterling for our most accessible designs. Our precious metal guide explains what each one costs, how it wears, and which suits an everyday ring.
Every design starts as a hand drawing in our studio, from scratch. Starry Night®, Orion Nebula® and Skye Kite® exist only here.
Cast, set and finished by hand, then checked against its design before it is boxed. If a piece does not meet the standard, it does not ship.
Rhodium-finished sterling, solid 14K and 18K gold, platinum. Stones described plainly, treatments disclosed on every listing.
We sell directly, keep sterling designs in stock and cast gold only to order, so you pay for the ring, not for a showroom. Spread the cost with interest-free Pay in 4 or monthly financing options at checkout.
Limited lifetime warranty on solid gold and platinum, defined coverage on every other metal, 14-day returns on ready-to-ship pieces and a free first size exchange.
