Summer is nearly here, and there is nothing that will get you in the spirit like the ocean tones of aquamarine beads. Aquamarine was believed to be the treasure of mermaids during ancient times and was used by sailors as a talisman of protection, fearlessness and a little good luck.


It is also a stone that is associated with eternal youth and happiness. It is best known for its bluish green ocean color.

All these factors make it the perfect stone for your best jewelry designs. Whether you are stringing yourself a new necklace, or getting camp-ready with some old school macramé, the gorgeous colors of aquamarine will make all your designs pop.

1. Macramé


Macramé is one of the simplest ways to design your own unique piece of jewelry. We love the way macramé bracelets and anklets look with your fingers and toes in the sand. The best part is you do not need any fancy jewelry-making equipment, just select your beads and twine (string, hemp or even straw) and you are ready to rock!

2. Endless Necklace


This is a beautiful design to use you aquamarine beads for, and it is a simple one if you are new to beading. The only real skill you need is the ability to string beads, and you will be well on your way. This is a vibrant design that will showcase the rolling-waves-color of your beads. It is great to pair with a sundress and sandals, and if you really want to make those colors pop, we suggest wearing black.

3. Hoop Earrings


This is a great accessory to match your Endless Necklace. Simple string some more aquamarine beads on a smaller wire and attach it to earring hooks. This is another simple design that has dazzling results. When you are going out for the first time all week, nothing gives you that little thrill like putting on matching jewelry.

4. Dangly Earrings


If hoop earrings are not your thing and you are looking for something a little more modest, then simple dangly earrings may be the answer. The simpler design calls for fewer beads and gives a more streamlined classic aesthetic. These earrings are wonderful when paired with a matching necklace or bracelet, or even just on their own.

5. Beaded and Leather Cord Bracelet


You obviously cannot neglect your wrists. We love this bracelet design for any occasion, and it is especially well matched with aquamarine beads. The leather gives it a rustic tone (in case you are sick of the beach), and the dark tones will complement the light blue colors nicely.

With Mother’s Day sneaking up, this would be the perfect gift to show your mom just how much you appreciate her.

6. Southwestern Lariat Necklace


We cannot understand why this design is so uncommon, because it is truly stunning. It utilizes a long string of beads that are pulled into a double line before being wrapped around your neck and then tucked into the loop they created. You can use a lot of different beads for this design, or just stick to a few. With a myriad of beads at your disposal, it is impossible not to create something wonderful for yourself.

7. Beaded Toe Ring


Live your best and most exciting life, and make yourself an adorable toe ring. Assembly is easy; all you will need is wire and beads. This is a great accessory to head back to the beach with or just to show off with your new flip-flops.

The light tones of your aquamarine beads are ideal for toe rings because the gorgeous color will complement your toes without drawing too much attention to your feet. We suggest pairing this design with an elegant shade of pearl nail polish.

8. Beaded and Pukka Shell Anklet


Time to break out your macramé gear again, but this time you will be adding something a little extra. Pukka shells are symbols of good fortune and well wishes. Your ankle will feature the shells of the beach with the ocean color of your aquamarine beads, so you will be able to take the sea with you wherever you go. This is an excellent design if you are looking for an activity to do with your preteen or teenage child.

9. Beaded Choker Necklace


Choker necklaces have made a much-needed comeback, and what better way to celebrate than with your aquamarine beads? This is a great punk-rock look and an easy design to make, whether you want to design one that is a long string of beads or one beautiful pendant to dangle in the middle. It is time to leave the beach behind and go to a concert.

10. Beaded Watch


If you have been looking for a cute watch with no luck, why not make your own? There is no limit to what your aquamarine beads can do for you, and they pair nicely with a silver face watch.

We suggest using small silver wholesale gemstone beads between your aquamarine beads, as that this detail will make your watch look professionally designed and made. Assembly is simple, and the results are adorable. This is also a great design to give as a gift to that special someone.

Wrap Up

Whatever look you are trying to accomplish, aquamarine beads can be utilized. From necklaces to bracelets, to earrings and even toe rings, these beads look good everywhere. And don’t forget, they also provide protection, good fortune and may even give you a silver of eternal youth.
