So I'm upgrading my engagement ring and will sell my current 1.2 Asscher on consignment. Do you think a blue sapphire will look good in the middle of this setting? I'm having a baby boy in February so I thought it would be a nice homage to him :)

I'm open to suggestion of what to do though... thanks!

Sure! I think it would be gorgeous. I have a sapphire in a similar setting.

Yes, you need to get Jeff White to cut you an asscher sapphire like neatfreak''s!! It is the perfect setting for a sapphire!
 
Who is this Jeff White and where does he work?

Ditto or even just for another idea something like Ellen's Aqua either would be stunning

I know how that is! I buy maybe one nice piece a year (and by nice I mean around $1000, I am still in school!) but in that year I always add about 5-6 things to my wishlist...
 
now I''m thinking a delicious light colored aquamarine. I think I would wear it more with a lighter colored stone.

Another vote YES!
 
Jeff White ROCKS.

I think it''d look great. Neat''s saphire is a great colour for an asscher!
 
thanks all! I''ve got some shopping to do!!!

Just keep in mind that aquamarine is much softer than sapphire. Aqua is around 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale while sapphire is 9 (diamond is 10), therefore aqua would need to be babied quite a bit more to avoid damage.
 
I think a sapphire would be lovely, expecially if it is the color of Neatfreak''s

what are the price differences between sapphires and aquamarines? is it pretty big or are they similar in cost?
