The appeal of this 2.73 Carat octagon-cut aquamarine gemstone begins with its vivid, medium-rich sky blue color. Excellent clarity allows light to travel freely through the stone, while its lively faceting gives it an inviting sparkle. The octagonal outline lends a clean, architectural look that feels both classic and contemporary. Choose this gemstone when you want blue that is noticeable without sacrificing an elegant, airy appearance.
Picture it in a tailored heirloom ring with understated side stones or in a pendant that lets the blue catch the light at the neckline.
