Aquamarine and cubic zirconia hoops

These 13 x 13 mm hoop earrings are crafted from rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver and feature a polished, circular-cut cabochon of aquamarine, 9 mm in diameter, with a beautiful, characteristic deep blue color. The hoop design is simple, with the aquamarine prong-set and surrounded by small cubic zirconia. The hoops fasten with a post and butterfly back, sitting close to the ear.

Aquamarine is the pale blue-green variety of beryl, similar to emerald. It is a highly prized gemstone in jewelry due to its hardness, which allows for a wide variety of cuts. Its color and brilliance are reminiscent of seawater. The blue hue of aquamarine is due to the presence of Fe2+, while the greenish tint is due to Fe3+ inclusions and can be removed with a gentle heat treatment.
