vivianv and catmom: thank you so much for the welcome and your comments on my ring! this is the first time I’ve ever tried to take ring pics so they aren''t as good as some of the pics I’ve seen on here. The stone is a very light blue and the ring is very delicate in person. Hopefully, I will get more pretties in the future so that i can practice

Was told the aqua is between 1.5-1.75 ct based off the measurements. I plan on taking it to my mom''s jeweler so he can tell me the exact carat weight. The diamonds are .33tcw around the halo and shank.



Opal is my birthstone so I am not familiar with aquas but it is my sister’s birthstone and thought it was so pretty that I couldn’t pass it up! Ring size is 5.5 and this is a size 6.

it''s amazing how much dust you see on macro mode. Those aren''t inclusions it''s just already dirty

My boyfriend got me an aqua ring for Christmas! It''s my birthstone. This one is 0.8 carats, with 6 little diamond sidestones (forget their weight, but they''re pretty tiny).

My current camera doesn''t have macro, but I''m getting a new one for my birthday (next month!) so I will be able to take better pictures en total very soon!!

Here is mine. My English grandmother had this made in Singapore in the 50s. I was thinking of resetting (band too big) but it also dwarfs my ering.. so I might make it a pendant.

Oh I am SO behind! I forgot to go back to page one!

Ellen,You will have to show your beautiful aqua in its new setting.I remember seeing it when you posted about it in its old setting. No pictures of the new cut??Can''t wait to see what you did with it!

marcyc, I like the setting with the small diamond in it, still simple but with a little dimension. Nice!Well done!

sputat,That''s a lot of aquas! I love that bracelet, I''ve never seen an aqua bracelet like that. I like it a lot!Like your watch too.


emeraldlover1, You have two nice aquas there! Which one do you want to set first? Rings? Pendant??

fafa,that''s gorgeous! I love the cut on your stone! I really like your antique [new?] setting. It sets the aqua off nicely!

My mom got me a set of oval aquas for Christmas several years ago. They are set in sterling, and I know she didn't pay that much for them, so I'm sure they're not the best quality. Still, they're kind of special to me because aquas are her birth stone.

Thanks Sparkles!!! The pendant was custom made by my local jeweler. I originally bought the stone from a cutter and it sat around for awhile while I made up my mind how I wanted it set. I took it to my jeweler and we spent hours going around and looking at different pendants while I picked out aspects that I liked. This was the end result and I think it came out pretty good.
