- Is aquamarine durable enough for daily wear?
- Aquamarine ranks 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, so it resists scratches better than opal or pearl but less than diamond or sapphire. A wide gold setting protects it, but remove the ring for hard chores and gym sessions.
- How does this compare with a plain gold cigar band?
- A plain cigar band is all metal and easier to wear every day. This one adds aquamarine and diamond accents, so it reads as a cocktail or statement ring rather than a simple band.
- What is a cigar ring?
- A cigar band is a wide, flat-topped ring style, named for the paper band on a cigar. It sits broad across the finger and gives stones a large surface to sit on.
- Can it be resized?
- A wide band with stones set around it is harder to resize than a plain band, and the stones can limit how much the metal can move. Ask a jeweler to assess it before any work.
- How should I care for aquamarine and diamonds?
- Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, and avoid steam or ultrasonic cleaners on aquamarine. Store it separately so the gold does not scratch against harder pieces.
