Aquamarine Recycle

[Catmom]

Just thought I''d share my latest recycle project. This was my previous ER setting that has been sitting empty since last March. Now it''s filled again! 8mm round medium blue aquamarine from Brazil. I am surprised at how sparkly it is. Can''t wait to see it under the sun if it ever appears here again. For now the bathroom lights will have to do.

Ugg! Sorry about the fingers. Too much cleaning without gloves.
Here's a side view.........

Thanks a lot, everyone!! I am in love with this stone! I am completely amazed at the sparkle it has and I am really liking the color. I didn''t want to go too bluey green as I already have my blue topaz ring so this stone just fit the bill.

Movie Zombie, I completely lucked out on this stone. I got it from Thiagem. I figured out too late that you really take your chances with this company. You should see the pink topaz that I also ordered. Luckily I didn''t pay a lot for it as it has the biggest window I have ever seen in any stone. My husband and I just rolled laughing when we took it out of the packaging. He was like, how could they even send this out? I have to take a pic and show it. It''ll give everyone a good bellylaugh to start the day! But the aquamarine turned out to be a keeper and I just love it. Even my jeweler commented on what a nice stone it is.

Princessv, now you know we just can''t have any empty settings sitting around!
