With its pale blue hue drawn from the Latin word for 'seawater', aquamarine is prized for its clarity, enduring strength and natural affinity with high jewellery
With its cool, luminous blue evoking the boundless depths of the ocean, aquamarine speaks to something deeper—a sense of calm, of clarity, of the sea’s magnegtic pull. It is a stone that has captivated jewellers and collectors for centuries, its translucent beauty proving endlessly versatile across eras and aesthetics. The world’s most storied jewellery maisons have turned to this beguiling stone as the centrepiece of their high jewellery creations, pairing it with diamonds, rare coloured stones and extraordinary craftsmanship. From Cartier’s cobra-coiled statement necklace to Tiffany & Co’s sculptural sea turtle brooch, here are the aquamarine pieces making waves.

Part of Chaumet’s Jewels by Nature collection, this bee brooch pays homage to one of the Parisian maison’s most enduring emblems.

Long associated with Napoleon as a symbol of divine and eternal power, the bee has adorned imperial regalia for centuries—and through the hands of Chaumet’s master jewellers, this storied motif continues to be reinterpreted in jewels of enduring elegance.
