The Details
I have never seen a Georgian aquamarineAquamarine (from the Latin, “water from the sea”) is a blue variety of the mineral, beryl, of which emerald is the less durable but more prized green variety. Aquamarine was believed to protect sailors at sea and banish fear. More ring like this one so perhaps it was a special commission.
