Sea-Blue Aquamarine

Catmom Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,756 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 4/6/2005	I just received the most gorgeous sea-blue aquamarine. It's a 1.61 pear, 10mm x 7mm, unheated. I was originally thinking that I would put it in a RH ring but after seeing it in person I'm thinking it would make a beautiful pendant. Help! How would you set this baby?

marcyc Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,829 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/27/2007	I love aquas and this one is a beauty! What a nice color of blue. I'd do a ring just so you can look at it more when you are wearing it. It'd be gorgeous in a pendant though too. Congratulations on a great gem! Sparkle On My Friends!

twodoor2 Cut Rock Total Posts: 406 Last Post: 8/5/2007 Member Since: 4/2/2007	I would do a ring because I think it is a size most suited to a ring, and you could look at it all the time. Very beautiful stone, and perfect cutting!!

Fly Girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 3,762 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/9/2007	Beautiful aqua. I have been looking for a beautiful aqua for many years, what with my March birthday, and all. Most are waaay too washed out looking, or windowy, to interest me. I'd set it in a ring or a pendant, whatever you think you would wear the most. **** Life is a Journey, not a Destination. ****

emmylou Rough Rock Total Posts: 17 Last Post: 6/19/2007 Member Since: 4/12/2007	Beautiful stone! Just beautiful!! I second the diamond pave halo!! Leon Mege had a pair of halo'd round Aquamarine dangle earrings in his "For sale" section and the wonderful contrast between the blue and the white diamond halo was marvelous! It would be something unexpected, especially with your stone that has such a great cut and color, which I think is VERY hard to find in Aqua's! Whatever you decide, I'm sure it will be stunning! ___________________________________ "How to store your baby walker: First, remove baby." - Anonymous Manufacturer

marcyc Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,829 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 2/27/2007	Hi Catmon. I've been thinking of your beautiful aqua so I wore my aquas today. They are sky blue, nothing like your sea-blue aquamarine but I enjoyed having them on today. I actually saw a stone with this color in a mall jewelry store a few years ago and didn't buy it. I have definitely regretted that decision. It was a beauty like yours. Sparkle On My Friends!

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	Catmom, that stone is just stunning. Truly. I'd personally halo it for a RHR. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."
