I have in the past couple days, posted somethings about new stones.. well I finally made the plunge and bought a beautiful Aquamarine from Osirisgems. I picked out the rough and he cut it for me. I can''t wait to have it in hand!!
I can''t wait to get it and post some of my own photos to see how they compare! He was awesome to deal with! Very helpful and always pleasant. I think I''ve emailed him every day for the past two weeks with questions!
Thanks! I''m actually setting it in my engagement ring. I know most people don''t like aqua in erings but I''ve had the same one for the past year and no scratches or chips .. just a large window that drives me nuts!
I really don''t understand why people prefer to heat Aquamarine, the greenish blue is so much prettier to me.
Having said that, I have a heated light blue Aqua in an emerald cut that I just love.
I love Aquamarine because it is such a classic stone. I like stones that even my grandmother can relate to like sapphire, ruby, emerald and aqua. They''re stones a princess would have worn a hundred years ago. Totally classic.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments! It is the same color greenish blue as the rough when looking straight at it!
I know its a little light but it will get rid of the window in my current engagement ring and the Fiance said I could always upgrade my stone in the future to get a darker one.. I didnt pay much for it and Uli did a great job cutting it!
