An Asscher Aqua to call my own!!

[cushioncutnut]

I have heard so many great things about Gary from Finewater that I decided to contact him concerning an asscher cut Aqua. I should be receiving this in a few weeks. I am so impressed at how quick he was to respond to my emails and how he took me seriously and cut an Aqua for me right away. He also catered to my budget. I highly recommend him and I haven''t even received the stone yet!

It is 1.78 ct with an exact callibration of 7x7x6 mm, unheated..light blue.

I am not sure yet! I am waiting for a friend of mine to get her ring back from Sally.....and I may consider her.

Lovely!!!!!

Finally got my gorgeous Aqua from Gary at Finewater today! It is gorgeous! Unheated, light blue 1.78 ct. I do wish it could have been darker...but I guess it is hard to find darker rough to cut into a nicer size aqua. I am now "FINALLY" an Asscher gemstone owner! Do I make you proud LTP??

CCN, that aqua is lovely! Looks like it has great colour, and I''m very fond of Gary''s cuts and his personality! I''m also very disappointed that your camera wasn''t charged more - bad PSer!!!

Just kidding - I''m glad we got the pics that we did. It''s awesome

, and I''m so proud!

Lauren might be proud, but now I''m jealous. Fabulous stone, cushioncutnut!

 

[fierypyropixy]

It''s gorgeous!

 

[SB621]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

 

[Kay]

Just lovely! I am a sucker for light to medium blue asschers.

 

[Lovinggems]

It''s beautiful!

 

[gailrmv]

Congrats! It is so pretty!!!

I got mine too. I just love it!!! It looks very similar to yours and I am a terrible PSer, no pics! What are you going to do about setting? I know exactly what I want but it is going to cost a lot more than I originally wanted to spend. (bezel setting, will be around $1000) so it's sitting in my jewelry box for now.

LOL! My camera died because I forgot to recharge it after all of the pics I took while my hubby and I was enjoying our 20th Anniversary trip to Napa!!

I was surprised at the few cool shots that I got as when taking pics of gemstones, I average 1 decent one out of 10.... so I was happy to get those. ...and if anyone knows me, I usually do alot of pics!! I will definately post more pics when it is set! LTP.... I am glad I made you proud!!
