Not really looking for an aquamarine but

[whitewave]

lol...

Kinda obsessed with The Di/Meghan aquamarine solitaire...

Only found two that I thought were interesting.... just showing photos... since I’m not really looking


About 3.5 carats


about 6.5 carats

Any opinions just based on those photos?

What a great way to spend a beautiful day - admiring aquas while window shopping! They have always been a favorite gem of mine. Both of these look very pretty. Are you going to step into the store by chance?

I've seen the bottom aqua, and it's really pretty! I like the darker blue of the top one, but it might be rather dark in person.

Can’t compare the colour since one has a gray background vs hand, dim vs shaded sun lighting. In terms of shape, I prefer the first one.

Nah, just online window shopping.

Is the bottom one blue enough?

I worry the top is too dark and the bottom is too light.

Yeah, just perusing. The top one has an interesting/intriguing color. It is half the size but double the price of the bottom one.

Ok. I just emailed to see if I can get a pic of the top one on a hand.

Edited, I didn’t realize the first one had two pics:

I’m also on an aqua hunt because of the same reason.

I like the measurements and shape of the first stone better, and the second I recognize from one vendor, but can’t really remember the name.

I wish you luck in your hunt!

I understand. By “going into the store” I really mean, might you “add to cart.”

I think this one would look really nice in person. The background is rather misleading though.

I’m not going to lie— it could happen.

If I pass, I’ll let you know where I found it. (Unless you find it first lol)

Ask for a hand shot of the first aqua. It should appear brighter and lighter.

I found another pic of the top one:


I’m waiting for a hand shot.

The bottom one is light, like his first couple photos. You do need to be able to compare them with the same background. I would also ask each vendor for a video, preferably outdoors, just because of the cut. I've found with this type of cut, a video shows more of how it sparkles/light return/window, etc.

I love this one! I hope it’s as beautiful in hand shots and in person. What are it’s measurements? I know I’ve seen this vendor but can not remember who to look up the stats myself (I am NOT in the market for another aqua right now).

There should be a “show your aqua” thread....

 

[whitewave]

Ok I left a voicemail with the top one asking for a video.

I’ll contact the second one as well.

I know, really I likely would have already bought it if they had an actual cart to add to, but you have to call or email them... and I did both already!

It is unique and not like others I have seen.

Ok, I found a video. It is very blue. I think it is a little dark. It’s about 11x8

I’m tempted though. Really really tempted.

Love how fast this went from "I'm not even looking" to..." I'm gona buy it", basically

I bought the bottom one from finewater just now.

The top one is 3.5 carats and is from clear cut gems. You can see the video on the IG page. It’s cool and is $1550 maybe. Fifteen something. It’s a little too deeply blue for me.

I’ll evaluate the fine water one in person. It has potential.

You’d better decide fast or I’m dibbing it. Please stop me from being tempted!

Yay! I really like the gems from Finewater. I look forward to seeing pics when it arrives.

Window shopping......

Go to Instagram clear_cut_gems about 23 rows down. You should recognize it. I would love for someone to evaluate it. I believe he has a 15% restock fee if you send back.

ETA, it looks beautiful but I also don’t need to be spending $1600 right now.
