Aquamarine gets its name from the Latin for seawater — and whoever named it was paying attention. The color is exactly that: the particular blue-green of deep, clear ocean on a calm day, not tropical turquoise and not stormy grey, but something in between that feels simultaneously vast and still.
This necklace is built around a cabochon aquamarine — cut en cabochon, smooth and domed rather than faceted, which lets the color speak without the distraction of sparkle. The stone just sits there being that color, quietly and completely, the way the ocean does when there's no wind and nothing is asking anything of you.
Sterling silver chain, clean and simple, because the stone is the whole point.
