Aquamarine

About your companion

Our aquamarines, mostly found in the Himalayas, captivate with their naturally pastel blue coloration, reminiscent of the blue sky. Aquamarine is attributed with qualities such as calmness, courage, and harmony. Over millions of years, these beryl crystals formed in pegmatitic rocks as beryllium, aluminum, and silicon combined, creating these unique, globally sought-after gemstones.

Responsibility

As a proud German family business, we rely on tradition, quality, and heart. Our gemstones are direct imports from the mining regions and generally come from independent mines, which are usually family-run businesses as well. The rough gemstones are then precision-cut by us using our specially developed gemstone cut.

Out of conviction, all our gemstones are genuine and natural. To guarantee this, we verify our gemstones both in our own laboratory and through independent laboratories. We firmly believe that this is how we can improve the market and the world of gemstones piece by piece. Thank you for helping us make this possible <3

Aquamarine

Aquamarine

As close to the source as possible. Our aquamarines come from several locations — mainly from regions of the Himalayas as well as from Brazil — and come directly from independent mines, often family-run businesses that treat the surrounding nature responsibly. Wherever possible, we rely on environmentally friendly extraction without chemicals and without large-scale industrial machinery. This creates traceable origins, fair cooperation, and value creation where these gemstones are found.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine, as nature created it. Our aquamarines are genuine, untreated, and completely natural – without dyeing, filling, heat treatment, or irradiation. This keeps the clear water color unaltered, and you receive a genuine, natural aquamarine.

Precision you can see. Every aquamarine is precision-cut in our workshop with a specially developed faceted cut, so it captures light to the maximum and reflects it back as a clear, radiant blue. Untreated and natural — tested in our own laboratory and additionally by independent laboratories, so quality is not just promised, but proven.
