1.90 Ct. Blue Aquamarine from Mozambique

One transparent 1.90 carat oval aquamarine, measuring 9.87 by 7.74 by 4.85 millimeters, presents a refined, icy blue tone with medium color intensity, originating from Mozambique. The gem is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that combines step and brilliant elements to optimize light return while preserving a clean, elegant outline. Clarity is graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, allowing the facet pattern to read with clarity and minimal internal distraction, and the surface exhibits an excellent polish that enhances scintillation across the table and crown facets. The stone has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement for aquamarine that improves tone and uniformity without affecting durability. The proportions and finish of this oval make it well suited as a focal stone for a variety of fine jewelry settings, and the subtle, cool blue is representative of high quality aquamarine material supplied by The Natural Gemstone Company.

When integrated into a custom piece, this aquamarine benefits from complementary accents that either amplify its cool clarity or introduce considered contrast. A halo of small brilliant cut white diamonds or high quality white sapphires will intensify perceived brightness and lend a contemporary, luminous frame without competing with the primary blue. For a softer, romantic palette, pairing the aquamarine with warm morganite melee or small champagne sapphires introduces a gentle blush contrast that highlights the aquamarine’s delicate blue. For stronger color contrast and visual impact, deep blue sapphires or green tsavorite garnets mounted as shoulder stones create a striking triad that underscores the central oval’s hue and clarity. Metal choice influences perception, with platinum or white gold reinforcing cool, icy character, while rose gold softens the overall look and yellow gold creates a vintage, warmer aesthetic. Design considerations include a four or six prong setting to showcase table brilliance, a low-profile bezel for daily wear security, or a cathedral mount to emphasize length and finger presence. Proportions of the 9.87 by 7.74 millimeter oval are ideal for a center stone in rings, pendants, and bespoke earrings, and the mixed brilliant cut will translate well under both direct and diffused lighting, delivering consistent sparkle and an elegant, refined appearance.
