88.20 Ct. Blue Aquamarine from Brazil

Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this is a rare and breathtaking blue aquamarine of exceptional presence and poise, weighing 88.20 carats, with dimensions of 29.20 x 24.60 x 18.30 mm, cut into a graceful cushion silhouette with a mixed brilliant cut, and finished to an excellent polish. The gem displays a medium color intensity that reads as a pure, luminous ocean blue in natural light, transparent and lively, with very very slight inclusions that were evaluated at eye level, affirming its clean appearance to the naked eye. Originating from Brazil, and enhanced by careful heat treatment to optimize its tone and clarity, this aquamarine is a single, one of a kind treasure for the collector or client who seeks an unmistakable center stone. Because stones of this scale and clarity are seldom available, this piece stands as an invitation to own something truly exclusive, a classic that will anchor a bespoke creation for generations.

Envisioned as the heart of a bespoke jewelry commission, this 88.20 carat cushion aquamarine adapts with ease to a wide variety of settings, each offering a distinct character and purpose. For a timeless statement, set as the centerpiece of a grand solitaire cocktail ring, with minimal metal to allow maximum light return, or elevated on a refined prong mount to dramatize the pavilion and allow the blue to breathe. For a more formal and luminous expression, surround the stone with a halo of brilliant diamonds, or a double halo alternating diamonds and small blue sapphires, to intensify color and presence. For an everyday wearable heirloom, a low profile bezel setting crafted in 18 karat gold or platinum provides both protection and an elegant frame that does not obscure the gem. The mixed brilliant cut of this cushion aquamarine also lends itself beautifully to modern designs, including east west mounts, tension inspired styles that emphasize floating beauty, and minimalist settings that celebrate scale and color without distraction.

Beyond ring settings, this aquamarine translates into multiple high jewelry possibilities, enabling the collector to design something truly singular. As a pendant the stone becomes a dramatic focal point, either alone on a delicate chain to showcase size and clarity, or as the central motif of a bib or lariat necklace with graduated accent stones. Imagine the aquamarine as the centerpiece of a collar necklace, flanked by trapeze cut diamonds and hand engraved scrollwork, or as the nucleus of a convertible brooch that can detach to become a pendant for formal evenings. For masculine or paired pieces, the gem may be transformed into a set of bespoke cufflinks with a matching platinum or gold frame and discreet hallmarking, or mounted into a signet inspired design for a modern take on tradition. For couture commissions, consider the gem as the crown jewel in a tiara or a statement bracelet, designed with articulated links to balance weight and movement while preserving the gem as the undeniable star.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers a full bespoke service to realize any of these visions, from initial creative consultation through to CAD renderings, hand sketches, and final artisan fabrication by master setters. Our team will advise on metal choice, proportion, and accent stones, recommending platinum or 18 karat gold for longevity, and selecting diamond quality and shapes to complement the aquamarine without overpowering it. Practical considerations are also addressed during design, because a gem of this scale benefits from thoughtful engineering, including reinforced prongs or a hidden gallery for security, optional bezel edging for daily wear protection, and ventilated settings to maintain color luster. We recommend considering the hardness of aquamarine, which sits comfortably for fine jewelry with sensible care, and selecting a setting style that suits the owner active life, whether that is a statement occasion piece worn sparingly, or a bespoke creation designed for regular wear with appropriate protection. For clients who desire provenance or independent verification, optional gemological reporting can be arranged, and every bespoke commission from The Natural Gemstone Company comes with confidential handling, professional photography for presentation, and secure insured delivery.

This blue aquamarine, with its generous 88.20 carat weight, captivating cushion form, and Brazilian origin, is an opportunity to commission a piece that is not merely jewelry, but a legacy.
