During Prohibition, bathtub gin and other contraband tasted so foul it had to be mixed with sodas and other sweeteners to make it drinkable. The people were cool and the jazz was hot. Inspired by this time of flappers and speakeasies, we’ve created our Aqua on the Rocks Earrings. Here, we’ve extended the glamour by setting shimmering aquamarine into yellow gold-finished .925 sterling silver alongside a splash of ice, in the form of zircon.
But this is no ordinary cocktail. No offense to the enterprising moonshiners of old, but sometimes a tall drink of water is all you need — and cool, classy aquamarine delivers. A cousin of emerald, aquamarine is a variety of beryl possessing a vivid blue-green color, reminiscent of the ocean. When exposed to high temperatures, the green burns away, yielding the crystal-clear blue waters you see here. Only the highest-quality aquamarine can withstand this process, making these stones especially sought-after.
So, forget the bathtub gin and get drunk on love instead. Pour your lady a cool drink of Aqua on the Rocks. She’ll tell you water never tasted so good.
