Teach me about aquamarines

[RRfromR]

I've never looked at one before. Found this in a second hand store and the owner can only test for gold purity and they also have a presidium for stone identification. No clue if the stones are lab or natural, forget about treatment

How much is it? I ask because without proper identification, it could be synthetic aqua or synthetic spinel or other? If you love the setting, I would just pay the price for what the setting is worth without the stone.

That’s a beautiful color whatever it turns out to be!

@T L it's $600 asking price however they will work with me on the price, so I think around 500. The setting is 18k with single/old cut diamonds

That’s a good price for an 18k diamond setting. If the aqua turns out to be fake, you can always replace it with a natural, non irradiated one. Rounds are easy to find in aquas.
