The holiday style trends are out and aquamarine jewelry is in. Among the holiday trends in jewelry this season are any pieces that have the colors of the ocean in them. What better way to achieve that goal than aquamarine, which is a stone named for the ocean with the colors of the sea represented.

Big is in as well. That means large aquamarine pendants, huge aquamarine rings, and pieces that sparkle from all the way across the room. Luckily, since aquamarine is a more affordable gem, buying more carats to get that effect will not completely empty your pocketbook as it could if you were trying to by comparable pieces in other stones

While you could just go for a simple look, like an aquamarine pendant, ring or pair of stud aquamarine earrings, there are also other ways to be doubly trendy.

Other seasonal jewelry trends include pearls and black crystal. Think of how great an aquamarine will look as a drop pendant in the center of a strand of white pearls, or a ring with a large aquamarine gemstone centerpiece, accented by a pair of black crystals to make it pop.

All aquamarine doesn’t have to be perfectly cut and faceted. The primitive cuts of jewelry are also in this year, with baubles made of stone, wood, shell, and rougher cut gemstones. Even if it’s not cut into a perfect eight-sided, setting-ready stone, aquamarine can still be a great looking addition to a more natural-looking jewelry design.

If you can find a tribal motif to go with that natural-looking jewelry, you’re even more in style this season. In addition to the rougher cut aquamarine, pieces made with hammered metal accents, carved wood or antique-style beads are going to make you the one with the jewelry that everyone else envies.
