AQUAMARINE / by Amelia Gilmore

Aquamarine drop earrings

Aquamarine... the name says it all. From the mineral beryl, it's other variety is deep green emerald. Perfect colour for my watery inspired droplet earrings.

 Some uncut sapphires from my source at the lapidary club

 Love the bright wine gum colours of these stones. I didn't realise that sapphires, the mineral 'corundum', come in all shades of the rainbow and are all called sapphire, except red which we know as ruby.
