Hi everyone,
I was hoping I could get some help in picking out an Aquamarine engagement ring. I am looking for a very basic and modestly-sized cushion cut (~6x6 to 9x9) or emerald cut (~8x6) Aquamarine stone in a traditional-looking setting.
Initially, I was thinking of choosing a ring from one of the online retailers. I found several that I like, including this one from Angara (1.8 carat stone in white gold ring), this one from Genvara, and this one from brilliant earth. There are even a few cheaper rings on Etsy that I like, including this one from RareEarth, and this one from kbestdesign.
However, when I went looking for reviews of these rings or retailers, I couldn't find much. And it is hard to tell the quality of the Aquamarine stone in these rings, and how they would stack up in the New to coloured gemstone buying guide. Furthermore, none of these retailers appear in the List of Vendors For Reference. Instead, most of the vendors on that list only sell gemstones.
I did find a few gemstones from the recommended vendords that look nice:
Any comments on the premade rings from Angara or Gemvara? How would the quality of those rings compare with buying a stone and setting separately and putting them together myself?
Sorry for the very newby questions. I hope someone can make it a bit more clear for me how these things work.
Thank you!
