So, I was having someone on etsy (who will remain nameless) fashion me an aqua ring, but it wasn't going so well, so we were refunded and at a loss for what to do for a replacement present. So, my fiance and I decided to go ahead and get a loose aqua and set it nicely later. I looked everywhere and saw that Dan was currently cutting one. I was the first to ask about it, and long story short- it's here! First- the specs and his photo.

STONE: Aquamarine
WEIGHT: 1.52 Cts.
CUT: Brilliant Pear
DIMENSIONS: 6.58 x 9.76 mm
ORIGIN: Nigeria
COLOR: Darker Medium Blue
CLARITY: Excellent (Appears Flawless Under 10x Magnification)
TREATMENT: None
CUT BY: Dan
COMMENTS: A stunning aquamarine with a deeper medium blue color and an impressive darker, almost Ceylon sapphire blue that pools up in the ends. This stone has great color, clarity and brilliance.

In the handshot it looks like there''s extinction, but it''s just the camera. The outdoor shot is the most accurate.
 
Thats a very nice stone! I saw it on his site the other day and wondered if someone from here would get it. Looked like a good deal.

I love it and am going to set it with 4mm princess diamonds on either side (one will come from my promise ring).
 
Lovely size, and NICE color for an aqua - you did very well picking this one out!

Thanks! It''s actually even more blue in person, but I can''t get it on camera. Trying again tomorrow morning in the sun though.
 
Beautiful stone!
 
Such a prettily coloured aquamarine; not washed out and overly gray like most that I''ve seen.

That''s what caught my attention the most. It''s my birthstone, so I always keep an eye out when browsing. I also like the lack of heat treatment.

swingirl- thanks!

It definitely was hard on the reasonably priced part.

Thanks. I take that as a huge complement coming from you two.
 
Best picture of the color. This is how it is IRL.

Except it's got really even color unlike this one.

Great Color!
 
Amazing color!
 
Thanks CCL and crasru! I can''t wait to set it to show it off constantly!
 
Beautiful stone and color. I was excited to see he was cutting an aqua and wondered what shape it would be. I want an aqua asscher - maybe I should see if Dan has some more rough in that color for me.

I can''t wait to see your ring.
 
He was absolutely awesome to work with and I can''t wait to purchase from him again.
 
Lovely Kayla! Congratulations for this beauty!
