Of course, while admiring it is the easiest thing to do, styling it can be an issue. Lucky for you, that’s where our guide to wearing aquamarine jewellery comes in.
From picking an outfit in a complementing colour to gemstone pairing tricks, this article has all the information you need to style your aquamarine jewellery like a pro.
How to Wear Aquamarine Jewellery: A Complete Style Guide
Tip #1: Pair It With the Right Gemstones
When people ask us for tips on what to wear with aquamarine jewellery, we typically tell them to mix it up with other gemstones.
Sure, an all-aquamarine ensemble is the epitome of sophistication, but if you really want to take your look up a notch, mixing and matching is the way to go.
For an ethereal pastel palette, team your aquamarine pendant or other jewellery pieces with pastel gems like moonstone and morganite. It’ll be like wearing a soft, dreamy sunset. Who doesn’t want that?
That said, if you’re feeling adventurous and want to play around with other hues, pairing your aquamarine with other cool-toned (shades that bring to mind feelings of coolness or images like the water and sky) stones, like emeralds and amethysts, is a great option. The result? A cascading waterfall of colours that’s totally Instagram-worthy.
Any tips for the matchmaking newbies, you ask?
Well, if you’re new to the styling game, we highly recommend going monochromatic by pairing aquamarine with various shades of blue. Think gemstones like blue sapphire, London blue topaz, Swiss blue topaz and turquoise.
Of course, if you want to skip all that, then simply wearing aquamarines with a white diamond-studded sparkler is always a smart move. Not only is it fail-safe, but it gives off a glamorous vibe that no other combo can compete with.
Important Note: The aquamarine may be the Beyoncé of gemstones, but in a crowd of bold hues and massive designs, it can get a bit shy. Keep it simple with styles like eternity and solitaire when you’re introducing other gems to the look.

Tip #2: It’s All About the Balance
With aquamarines, as it’s with life – balance is everything!
Think of your gemstone as the VIP guest at a star-studded event. It deserves its moment in the limelight, so spare it from the unnecessary accessory competition.
Choose one sparkler to steal the spotlight and let your other pieces play the supporting role. For instance, if it’s a bold aquamarine necklace kinda day, go easy on your other jewellery. You could opt for a subtle pair of aquamarine earrings, instead of your typical attention-grabbing hoops here. They’re elegant, gorgeous and don’t mind playing encore to your necklace’s main event.
It’s that simple!

Tip #3: Team It With an Outfit in the Right Colour
NGL, as a jewellery brand, one of the main questions we get asked is, ‘What colours to wear with aquamarine jewellery?’
Our response: Well, that depends!
If you’re feeling a bit colour-shy, stick with the classics. Neutral hues like black, grey, white and brown are the reliable wingmen of the fashion world. They’ll let your icy blue sparklers like your aquamarine engagement ring or aquamarine wedding ring, for example, take centre stage without stealing their thunder.
That said, if you’re in the mood for a colour adventure, consider hues that play nice with your aquamarine. Think navy blue, midnight blue, lavender, dark purple, dusty rose and peach – these shades essentially play the role of supportive friends who always make you look good in pictures.
And if you’re feeling a bit bolder, trust cool-toned colours, like green and purple, to turn your ensemble into a visual symphony.
