Into the Blue – Gübelin Jewellery dives deep into the world of aquamarines

Art. 281

This spring, Gübelin Jewellery presents a multi-faceted selection of glittering aquamarines. Cocktail rings, bracelets and necklaces glisten in a range of shades, a palette drawn from the clear blue sky, the first blue blossoms of a re-awakening spring, crystal-clear waters and glacial blue mountains.

Aquamarines shine in the most beautiful colours of the sea: in light blue or iridescent greenish blue, in delicate pastel tones through to the most intense aquatic shades. This can already be seen in their name, taken from the Latin aqua marina (“waters of the sea”). Legend tells that aquamarines originate from treasure chests guarded by mermaids, and are considered lucky charms and talismans for sailors on their way to discover the world’s oceans. Aquamarines are the starting point for Gübelin Jewellery’s focus on blue gemstones and deep dive into their abundance of colours and symbolism.

Gübelin Jewellery interprets aquamarines in captivating designs – from purist through romantically light-hearted to opulent settings; the blue shades of the gemstone lend any piece of jewellery a feeling of lightness and ease.

«Grace of the Sea Anemone» cocktail ring

The first warming rays of the sun bring out the magnificent colours of Gübelin Jewellery’s “Grace of the Sea Anemone” cocktail ring in all its opulence. The cocktail ring is set with an impressive aquamarine of more than 22 ct (86.5 Gübelin Points) as well as radiantly coloured sapphires, tsavorites and brilliant-cut diamonds. Organically shaped elements grace the elaborately designed ring band. The ornamented, gem-set elements are reminiscent of a sea anemone. They seem to dance in the water, reflecting its elegant motions. The lively and cheerful design harmonises perfectly with the classic step cut aquamarine, inviting us to immerse ourselves within its depths. The fascinating colour composition is a prime example of Gübelin Jewellery’s expertise and experience with coloured gemstones. At the same time, this sophisticated arrangement lends lightness and ease while exuding joie de vivre. The iconic Gübelin Jewellery ruby serves as a glittering red highlight. This characteristic gemstone is set prominently on the upper part of the ring band and graces the front side of the artistically crafted cocktail ring. Much love of detail has gone in to hand-crafting this cocktail ring in the jewellery atelier in Lucerne.

The organic, sinuous design is characteristic of the “Grace of the Sea Anemone” line, accentuated by glittering diamonds. The line offers a captivating selection of coloured gems. With lively necklaces, bracelets, rings and earrings, “Grace of the Sea Anemone” invites you to mix and match to create your own spring-fresh ensemble.

Sparks of Fire

Purist, colourful and timelessly elegant. Thanks to its contemporary design, the “Sparks of Fire” line blithely combines minimalism and opulence. Whether worn individually or in a tasteful combination, “Sparks of Fire” is the ideal accompaniment for the office, an art opening or a candlelight dinner. The purist design, centred on the coloured gemstone, makes it easy to mix and match, allowing individual combinations that give full expression to your imagination while reflecting your personality and creativity. The blue shades of the aquamarine combine perfectly with aquatic tones while also harmonising beautifully with delicate pastel colours.

With or without brilliant-cut diamonds, set in white or red gold, “Sparks of Fire” aquamarine rings can be combined to wondrous effect. Aquamarine is equally outstanding as a solitaire, such as this purist necklace, surrounded by a glittering diamond entourage.
