Aquamarine ring - finally!

[Arkteia]

In the days when I am working from home, and a trip to the bank or office is a major social event, and I haven’t yet been to the post office, I got a call from a jeweler. My aqua ring has been finally made. I shall add photos later; the upper two are outside, the lower, inside, no light. It was ordered way before COVID; now everything is on a back burner, but it was surely nice to get something today.

I love how the setting looks like draped sashes! And a lovely saturated aqua!

Where did you find that aqua?! It's fabulous.
Your ring design showcases it to perfection.

Beautiful ring! Can you tell us about your gorgeous aqua?

So about the aqua. I bought an old ring with an old stone what was saturated, windowed and unpolished. I thought that saturation and price were attractive enough, and someone recut it in a more modern style. I mainly wanted a ring as I have a beautiful aquamarine necklace. They don’t quite match as one is an emerald cut and the other, a cushion, but I didn’t look for “a set”. I should make the photo of both

Both stone and ring design - gorgeous!

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you, @Rfisher!

I made a couple of shots of my necklace and ring. They were not meant to be a set, I don’t like sets, simply, I like aquas now.

HI:

OKOKOK. OK!

Beautiful stone and setting. Holy. Moly. Well, and the pearls/clasp. Out of a Royal vault?

What is that ring on your pinkie??? LOL

cheers--Sharon

 

[GliderPoss]

wow! They look gorgeous, I particularly love the necklace.

 

[Pinkmartini87]

@Arkteia Beautiful ring! Enjoy wearing it and treasuring it!

 

[Arkteia]

@canuk-gal,

Thank you! That necklace was my idea, around Joshua Rioux’s stone, executed by Joseph Jewellery, and in hindsight, maybe I should have gone with the same company and the same vendor, rather than recutting a stone, etc.

But - I like the ring, too, although it is a different style.

 

[Arkteia]

@GliderPoss , thank you!
@Pinkmartini87, thank you!

Stunning ring! The pearl and aqua piece is channeling Diana.

Joshua Rioux--that is a name I've not heard about in a long time!

Your aquas are beautiful.

 

[Starfacet]

Oh my word both of these pieces are outstanding!!!

 

[Arkteia]

@TL, thank you! You might be right, aquamarine was never my favorite stone, and then watched a movie about Diana’s last love, and suddenly an aqua came my way. )

 

[Arkteia]

@Daisys and Diamonds - thank you!
@MissSarah - thank you!
@ Starfacet - thank you!

OMG, I thought the ring is just killer, then I saw the necklace. WHERE do you find these aquamarines? Absolutely the most beautiful ones I've ever see, I had no idea they could look like this. My day could use some beauty, thank you very much for sharing.

 

[Arkteia]

Thank you, @Ibrakeforpossums, and what a wonderful name ))). And avatar.

The big one was bought from Joshua Rioux with Rioux Rocks. I would highly recommend him as the vendor. The second one was recut from an old stone.

 

[Bluegemz]

Congrats, it’s lovely...such a wonderful color.

The aqua ring and necklace look incredible together, enjoy them in good health!
