My grandmother's aquamarine pendant

[Macky]

Here is a photo of an aquamarine and diamond pendant that I inherited from my grandmother. I really love it's shape and style but I'm afraid it's too light in colour and the window I'm the center is too big. What do you all think? Thank you!

I really love the color
Do you remenber your grabdma wearing it ?


Put a wee bit of tinfoil behind the stone ?
Does the help close/ reduce the window?
If it does a jewler can put some silver foil on the back of thr setting

someone else will be along shortly to explain it better

i dont think your granny was anywhere near old enough, but in Victorian- Edwardian times to see the skin through the window was ... well what ever the Victorian world for sexy was !

It’s really beautiful and huge! What a great heirloom, with personal history. Don’t overthink it, enjoy it!

Aquamarine comes in all different shades of blue/green. Yours looks like a lovely clear calm sea. There are ways to minimise a window by changing the setting but unless you have it recut you won’t eliminate it entirely. If I were you I would love it just the way it is.

My favourite colour in an Aquamarine - pale blue with a hint of green!

Not 100% certain if the window is a tilt window or not, and at that size a tilt window is to be expected.

I love it, personal preferences and all that, and thanks for sharing!

I think it's absolutely gorgeous, and I wouldn't change a thing

I think it looks lovely and I love that color!

It’s very beautiful.
Because aquamarines are such a clear crystal, unless cut in more recent times, more often than not they have a significant “window”.
To me that’s just part of their beauty and charm.
My ring has a huge window but I love it just the way it is.

The color is lovely and lots of vintage stones have windows.
I think she's beautiful. Enjoy wearing your gorgeous pendant!

I wouldn't change this at all---it is very beautiful! A lovely gem from your grandmother.
