My 16th Birthday

[MissAva]

Okay so technically I am 22. However for my sweet 16 my father gave me a lovely ring which I thought ya''ll might enjoy. I wish I knew more about it. It is an aquamarine (my birthstone) emerald cut, surrounded my rb diamonds set in a platinum band. I have never seen another aquamarine quite like this one and I really love it!

 

[MissAva]

Oh yes! The ring is from Tiffany and Co!

wow that is a gorgous ring. It is such a beautiful blue color.
Since its Tiffanys, I am sure the diamonds sparkle like crazy on it. The auqamarine must be a very high quality as well.
They dont have too many aquamarine rings there but the ones they do are gorgous and that certainly is no exception.

WOW! An aqua ring is on my dream list- I bet it''s amazing in person! You sure have a nice daddy- mine would never think of jewelry but did give me a restored 68 mustang for my sweet 16, so I couldn''t complain

. Didn''t he also give you a breitling watch? Sounds like your dad has some great taste!

That is an amazing ring!

Thanks for sharing.

 

[MissAva]

Thanks ya''ll. Yes my daddy is a very nice man. I am always wanting to go and play dress up with all of my mothers stuff.

He tends to be an in and out guy though so since our local mall has a Tiffanys that tends to be where her gifts are from. I am only a little jealous. He he. Anyway I just love that ring and though I dont wear it often since I am college right now I really enjoy it...I think on my wedding day that will be my something blue.

No I really dont, I am in college and I volunteer 6 days a week with under privelged children. It seems a little unfair to wear something like that into thr classrooms. It feels like showing off which isnt really my style. However I wore it to prom and sometimes when I am in NJ I will wear it aroudn the house. It is hard to tell from the pictures (they were from my scanner since I dont want to put my cameras software on my rents comp) but the ring is actually guite large a little over an inch top to bottom about half an inch left to right. I do love it though.

 

[kaylagee]

Gorgeous deep color on that one!

 

[MissAva]

New shots, with a camera rather then a scanner.

 

[valeria101]

Somehow, every round of pictures shows an even more beautiful aquamarine just when I''d think there''s no better

I''m crazy about them aquas anyway....

 

[MissAva]

 

[MissAva]

I dont wear the matching earings often but they are fantastic as well. Yummy!

I will post pictures next time I have them on.

 

[MissAva]

Hand shot...getting ready to do my nails, excuse them please.

 

[MissAva]

In the box waiting to be worn...

 

[Kaleigh]

Love the new pics really shows the color well. I also have an aquamarine ring that my grandmother gave me it''s 12 carats and way too much for my little hands. It is in the safety deposit box waiting for my daughter to turn 21. She has lovely long slender fingers. Your ring is just beautiful, what a sweet and thoughtful father you have Matatora.

 

[MissAva]

My Daddy is the best, but I think he spoiled me a wee bit.

I thought I would want an EC for my engagment ring if it was the size of that one or larger, but as it turns out to get a diamond EC that size it would need to be about 3.5cts...and that is not happening.
I dont suppose you want to post that 12ct blue for us...please?

ETA: Okay I was wrong 6ct diamond...oh that would hot!

 

[Kaleigh]

Next time Nan comes to visit, I''ll get it out of the bank and have her take some pics. It is set just like yours.

 

[partgypsy]

beautiful aquamarine. Hold on to that one! I was thinking of getting an aquamarine stone of that color for my sister, but they are very pricey.
In Europe, aquamarine is used as an engagement ring stone; I wonder if that drives up the price for the deeper blue ones.

 

[MissAva]

Oh I would NEVER do anything with this stone. My father gave it to me becuase things in our family go to the first daugther and I am the second, so this will be mine to give to my second on her 16th b-day. Which will never happen becuase the closest I am getting to kids is Boston Terriers and they dont need my birthstone.
Most aquas I have seen are not this deep, it is even more intense in person. I think the lighter blue ones are pretty cheap, since they are my birthstone I happen to have a ton of them. Earring, bracelets, necklace other rings...but none of them have that same ohhh effect that the ring does, not even the other peices from Tiffanys. If you find one that dark I would day it is worth the money for something so deep and lovely.

... like the little pendant-oriented round on the other thread ?

 

[colormyworld]

Hi Matatora, That is a beautiful aqua ring. Aquamarine of that tone, saturation is kinda hard to come by. I was lucky enough to find one although mine is not quite as clean as yours. I posted pictures under title of blue aquamarine.

 

[MissAva]

I did like that one Miss Ana!

But if I was going to do a aqau necklace I would want this one. It is dreamy!
