From Ocean to Ornament: Larimar and Aquamarine Trends for Summer Vibes Year-Round

In 2025, the jewelry world is diving into ocean-inspired gems like larimar and aquamarine, celebrated for their bright, beachy hues and raw, natural beauty. At Jae's Jewelers, we’re embracing these stones for their ability to evoke summer vibes any time of year, especially when paired with lab-grown diamonds for a sustainable sparkle. Here’s why larimar and aquamarine are making waves and how to style them for a fresh, vibrant look.

The Surge of Ocean-Inspired Gems

As colored gemstones overtake traditional diamonds—whose prices have fallen nearly 40% in recent years—larimar and aquamarine are riding a wave of popularity. Industry trends show a 25% increase in demand for raw, nature-inspired stones, driven by their unique patterns and connection to the sea. These gems, with their turquoise and sky-blue tones, are perfect for 2025’s trend toward bold, organic jewelry. At Jae’s Jewelers, our ocean-inspired collection captures this carefree, coastal aesthetic.

Larimar: The Caribbean’s Hidden Gem

Larimar, often called the “Atlantis stone,” is found only in the Dominican Republic and boasts a vibrant turquoise hue reminiscent of Caribbean waters. Formed in volcanic cavities, its swirling blue patterns make each piece unique, appealing to those seeking one-of-a-kind jewelry. Larimar’s rarity and tropical charm have made it a favorite for bohemian and beach-inspired looks.

Our Larimar Cuff Bracelet features a raw larimar stone set with lab-grown diamond accents, offering a bold yet sustainable statement piece. Its natural texture and vivid color make it a standout for summer wardrobes and beyond.

Aquamarine: The Stone of Serenity

Aquamarine, with its pale blue-to-green glow, evokes the tranquility of the ocean. Mined primarily in Brazil, this durable gem (7.5-8 on the Mohs scale) is ideal for everyday wear, from delicate rings to chunky necklaces. In 2025, aquamarine’s versatility and affordability—often 70% less than emeralds—make it a go-to for both casual and formal styles.

Jae’s Aquamarine Pendant pairs a faceted aquamarine with lab-grown diamonds, creating a refined piece that captures the gem’s serene beauty while keeping costs low.

Why Lab-Grown Diamonds Complete the Look

Lab-grown diamonds, crafted with eco-friendly technology, enhance the ocean-inspired allure of larimar and aquamarine. Offering the same brilliance as natural diamonds at 70-90% lower cost, they add sparkle without the environmental impact of mining. At Jae’s, our lab-grown diamond settings amplify the vibrant blues of these gems, creating pieces that are both ethical and eye-catching.

Styling Larimar and Aquamarine

• Beach Boho: Pair a larimar cuff with a flowy maxi dress for a laid-back, beach-ready look that channels summer vibes year-round.

• Everyday Elegance: Wear an aquamarine pendant with a white blouse and jeans for a fresh, effortless style that transitions from day to night.
