Aquamarine is named for seawater, and the comparison holds: a pale, transparent blue-green that looks lit from inside rather than polished on the surface. The Victoria sets a natural aquamarine oval in a vintage art deco frame of simulated diamonds and solid 925 sterling silver — a March birthstone ring for someone who prefers calm to spectacle.

A Natural Stone, Not a Substitute
The center stone is a natural aquamarine — a member of the beryl family, the same mineral group as emerald, formed in the earth rather than a laboratory. Its color comes from trace iron, which is why aquamarine tends toward a gentle, watery blue instead of the saturated tones of sapphire. At 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale it is genuinely hard-wearing, which is a large part of why this pale stone became a bridal staple in the first place. Compare it against its closest rival in aquamarine versus sapphire.
Cool Stone, Cool Metal
Pale blue is unforgiving next to warm metal — it turns slightly gray. White metal does the opposite, reflecting cool light back into the stone and making the blue read cleaner and more transparent. That is why the Victoria pairs aquamarine with rhodium-finished sterling silver rather than a yellow tone, and why the simulated diamond accents around the oval matter: they add the flash a soft stone does not generate on its own. Explore more of the pairing in sterling silver aquamarine jewelry.
The March Birthstone, and the Vintage Frame
Aquamarine is March’s birthstone and the traditional gift for a nineteenth wedding anniversary, which gives this ring a second life well beyond proposals — it is bought as often for birthdays and milestones. The setting takes its proportions from the 1920s: an oval center, a bright ring of accents, and detail worked into the shoulders, all held on a slim band of approximately 1.6 mm. Read the stone’s history in our March birthstone guide, and browse period-inspired designs in vintage aquamarine jewelry and natural aquamarine jewelry.
Solid 925 Sterling Silver, Finished in Rhodium
The ring is solid 925 sterling silver — 92.5% pure silver, the international standard for fine silver jewelry — with a rhodium finish. Rhodium is a bright white metal from the platinum family; the finish gives the silver a mirror-white luster and adds a protective layer over the surface, so the frame stays crisp against the pale blue center. Our journal explains the hallmark in what 925 sterling silver means, and you can see the finish across other designs in aquamarine rings.

Sizing & Care
Order in your exact size — our find-your-size guide shows you how to measure at home. Aquamarine is hard enough for regular wear, but the usual habits protect any ring: take it off for the gym, gardening, and housework, keep it away from harsh chemicals and ultrasonic machines, and clean it with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth. Because the stone is transparent, it shows soap film more readily than an opaque one, so a rinse and a proper dry make a visible difference. Our guide to cleaning sterling silver covers the metal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the aquamarine natural?
Yes. The center stone is a natural aquamarine, cut as a 7.0 x 5.0 mm oval. It is a member of the beryl family, colored by trace iron, and formed in the earth rather than in a laboratory.
How blue is the stone?
Aquamarine is a pale, transparent blue with a faint green cast — closer to seawater than to sapphire. Natural stones vary slightly in tone, which is part of the appeal of a genuine gem.
How durable is aquamarine?
It sits at 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, harder than quartz and well suited to a ring worn regularly. That durability is why it has been a bridal stone for well over a century.
What does 925 sterling silver mean?
It means the metal is 92.5% pure silver alloyed for strength — the international standard for fine silver jewelry. This ring is solid 925 sterling silver throughout, not a coating over a base metal.
What is the rhodium finish?
Rhodium is a bright white metal from the platinum family. Every Aquamarise sterling silver ring is finished with it, which gives the silver a mirror-white luster and adds a protective layer over the surface.
Are the accent stones real diamonds?
They are simulated diamonds, also called cubic zirconia or CZ. Their bright white sparkle supplies the flash that a soft, transparent center stone does not produce on its own.
Is aquamarine a birthstone?
Yes — aquamarine is March’s birthstone, and it is also the traditional gift for a nineteenth wedding anniversary. That makes this ring a natural birthday or milestone present.
How big is the center stone?
The oval measures 7.0 x 5.0 mm, roughly 0.75 carat by weight — a clear focal point that still sits comfortably under a sleeve.
Why silver rather than a warm metal?
Cool white metal reflects light back into a pale blue stone and keeps the color clean. Warm metal tends to pull aquamarine toward gray, which is why this design uses a bright white setting.
Is this ring safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. It is nickel-free and hypoallergenic, and the rhodium finish adds another barrier between your skin and the metal beneath.
Does this work as a promise ring?
It does. The soft color and vintage frame make it a popular promise ring and anniversary gift as well as a proposal ring.
How should I clean the ring?
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush, then rinse and dry fully. Transparent stones show residue quickly, so a thorough dry keeps the blue looking bright. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners.
How do I find my ring size?
Use the find-your-size guide linked in the sizing section. It walks you through measuring a finger or an existing ring at home; if you land between sizes, most people prefer to size up.
What is included with my order?
Free USA shipping and a gift-ready ring box, so the ring arrives ready to give with nothing else to buy.
