Is aquamarine good for a pendant necklace worn every day?

Yes. Aquamarine rates 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale, and necklaces experience less daily impact than rings or bracelets. Pendants and drops are among the best everyday jewelry choices for aquamarine. Store on a hook or flat surface to prevent chain tangling, and clean monthly with mild soap and warm water.

What length aquamarine necklace works best for layering?

For layering, the most versatile starting length is 16 to 18 inches for a first layer, with a second piece at 20 to 22 inches. Our aquamarine drop necklaces and pendants in gold-fill and sterling silver are designed with layering in mind. Browse our aquamarine necklaces for the full range of styles and lengths.

Does aquamarine fade in sunlight?

Prolonged direct sunlight can cause aquamarine to gradually lighten over time, particularly in very saturated stones. For everyday wear, normal sunlight exposure during daily activities is not a concern. Avoid leaving aquamarine jewelry in direct sunlight for extended periods, such as on a windowsill.
