Alice Aquamarine Ring- Sterling Silver

A teardrop aquamarine ring is a quiet piece of jewelry. The Alice sets a 0.84 ct pear of created aquamarine — that pale, glassy sea blue — point-up on solid 925 sterling silver, flanked by simulated diamonds. It is the opposite of a statement ring, and that is exactly why people keep choosing it.

The pale blue that is hard to find elsewhere

Aquamarine occupies a narrow and unusual place on the color wheel: a light, slightly green-leaning blue with a transparency that most colored gemstones cannot manage. Sapphire is denser and more assertive. Topaz runs cooler and more electric. Aquamarine is the one that looks like light through shallow water, and there is no real substitute for it if that is the effect you want.

That paleness is also what makes it flattering. A saturated stone dominates a hand; aquamarine sits with whatever else you are wearing. If you are weighing it against the alternatives, aquamarine vs sapphire and aquamarine vs diamond both cover the trade-offs honestly.

Created, stated plainly

The center stone is a created aquamarine. We say so up front because material claims on jewelry should not require squinting at fine print. A created stone gives you an even, consistent blue at a size that would cost considerably more in mined material, where pale or uneven color is the norm and the good stones command a premium.

Aquamarine belongs to the beryl family — the same mineral group as emerald — and shares its clear, glassy character. It suits everyday wear with sensible handling: off for chores and workouts, on for everything else.

Why the teardrop cut

The pear or teardrop shape is one of the most flattering cuts there is, because the tapered point draws the eye lengthwise and visually slims the finger. It also does something specific for a pale stone: the narrow end concentrates light into a bright tip, so the stone reads more brilliant than a round of the same weight would. This one measures 7.0 x 5.0 mm and weighs approximately 0.84 ct, set point-up with simulated diamonds alongside for extra sparkle at the shoulders.

Solid 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish

The band is solid 925 sterling silver, finished with rhodium for a bright white luster and an added layer of protection over the silver beneath. The pairing is close to obvious: a bright white metal is the only frame that does not add color to a pale blue stone, and silver’s cool tone reinforces the icy quality that makes aquamarine appealing in the first place. The interior is comfort fit, and the ring is 100% nickel-free and hypoallergenic. Background on the metal is in what 925 sterling silver actually means.

March’s birthstone

Aquamarine is the birthstone for March and the traditional gift for a 19th anniversary. Its name is literally sea water in Latin, and sailors once carried it as a charm for safe passage — a symbolism of calm and protection that has aged well into a stone people give for new beginnings. Our March birthstone guide covers the lore, and March birthstone jewelry shows what pairs with it.

Sizing & care

Choose your size from the dropdown above; our ring sizing guide shows how to measure accurately at home and how to size a surprise gift.

Clean the ring with lukewarm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft toothbrush, paying attention to the underside of the stone where a pale gem shows dullness fastest. Dry it with a soft cloth. Take it off before swimming, cleaning, or applying lotion and perfume, and store it in its box rather than loose with other pieces. Skip ultrasonic cleaners and steamers, and be a little careful with the pointed tip of the pear — it is the part of any teardrop stone most exposed to knocks. Cleaning sterling silver at home covers the metal side.
