1.50-carat marquise aquamarine set in 14-karat gold, with .01-carat blue diamond by Shelly Purdy Studio. "I absolutely love peering deeply into the eye of an aquamarine. I’ve always been drawn to the sea and looking out over it against a blue sky. This stone also reminds me of my two children, who have the most beautiful aquamarine-coloured eyes."

Got a favourite gemstone? Most of us do. That’s why we asked notable retailers, designers, manufacturers, and other industry insiders what stone brings a special sparkle to their eye and why. We were surprised by some of the answers, and you’ll be, too.
