Aquamarine is a blue to green-blue gem-quality variety of beryl. The beryl group of gemstones is most famous for chromium-rich green emerald, one of the'precious four' gems (diamond, sapphire and ruby are the remaining three). Aquamarine is an official birthstone for those born in March. Aquamarine is exceptionally hard and has an outstanding vitreous glass-like luster. It is most famous for its breathtaking sea-blue colors which can range from pale light blue to medium-dark blue.

The name'aquamarine' was derived from an old Latin expression which meant'seawater'. Aquamarine and emerald belong to the same family, but they are surprisingly different.

Aquamarine and emerald are both beryllium aluminum silicates, but emerald is colored by trace amounts of chromium (and sometimes vanadium), while aquamarine obtains its color from iron impurities within colorless beryl (goshenite). Aquamarine and emerald have essentially the same specific gravity and refractive index, but emerald tends to be hazy and full of inclusions, while aquamarine is known to occur with excellent transparency and clarity. Aquamarines name comes from the Latin for seawater and it was said to calm waves and keep sailors safe at sea.

Marchs birthstone was also thought to enhance the happiness of marriages. The best gems combine high clarity with limpid transparency and blue to slightly greenish blue hues.

Like many beryls, aquamarine forms large crystals suitable for sizable fashioned gems and carvings. The name aquamarine is derived from two Latin words: aqua, meaning water, and marina, meaning of the sea. It has been said that the mineral beryl gives the wearer protection against foes in battle or litigation. It makes the wearer unconquerable and amiable, and also quickens the intellect. A legacy four generations in the making, the Duneier story began with Max Duneier, an Austrian emigrant who arrived in New York City in 1910 with a single suitcase and a lifelong passion for exquisite gemstones.

Years later, his son Clyde took over the business. Under his expertise, the firm became synonymous with the highest quality stones and precious metalsdeepening the reputation for integrity and excellence associated with the Duneier name.

Today, the third and fourth generations of Duneiers run the business, building upon tradition and upholding the values forged over the last century. The item "VINTAGE ESTATE 14K GOLD GENUINE AQUAMARINE & DIAMOND RING SIGNED CD ART DECO" is in sale since Sunday, January 07, 2018.
