Side view (deep cut to hold color)

 

[Lovinggems]

It''s a nice blue colour and a pretty stone. Have you shown your GF the aqua or is she still expecting a pink stone?

 

[LaurenThePartier]

That is a GORGEOUS cut! I love it!

 

[Ryon]

Last one from Gary of my new Aquamarine will take pictures as soon as I get it
(note that this is much darker than normal according to Gary it was getting dark outside)

I wanted to see how it looked in someones hand so he took a picture of it on his wife''s hand

She knows, aqua and pink are her favorite colors, she picked this stone out herself over any RH stone or any other stone I could throw at her.

Gary cut this for me opon request and held it for me (I was the only one who knew about it)

Finewater

 

[Magenta]

Nice stone!

 

[VRBeauty]

It''s a beautiful stone! I''m looking forward to seeing the finished ring.

 

[D&T]

beautiful... yes, Classic and going to be a stunner!

 

[Catmom]

It''s very pretty!!

 

[Ryon]

Thanks everyone it will be here in 3-4 days
I''m glad I took my time and found something really great.
Also big thanks again to all those who tried to help me come to a decision and taught me more about what to look for!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

very pretty, I am sure she will love it

 

[chrono]

Hmm...why are the first 2 pictures incredibly light toned but a deeper blue on the hand?

ETA
I see, he said it was darker than normal. My concern is that the aqua might be too light but at least it doesn't seem to show much gray.

Well I will have to see when it gets here, she loves the really light tone for some reason. So hopefully it won''t be an issue. However I do have a 10 day return period but I never return things anyways..

 

[Nomsdeplume]

Yay! I''m so excited for you! She is going to love it. Can''t wait to see the finished result!

My problem is that I return more than I keep, ugh!! If I had all that $$$ I spent on shipping costs, I''d be able to buy out Laurence Graff. I hope she likes it, keep us posted.

 

[CharmyPoo]

All that matters is that she likes it. Like others, I am kind of surprised to see this stone purchased when compared to the other gorgeous options. However, I like pastel pink stones too .. I just bought a light pink stone from Barry.

Pretty color-what will you set it in?

14 or 18kt WG

 

[packrat]

Do you or FI have a setting in mind?

 

[somethingshiny]

Very pretty! I actually prefer the color of the first pic. I like aquas to be a pale blue so you can really see the faceting. For some reason, I think aquas facets are soo beautiful, probably because of how clean they are.

Congrats!!

 

[Ryon]

Well I was going for a simple tiffany 4 prong, but I might get something nicer or more unique since I got such a normal cut.

Any ideas?

 

[packrat]

Sounds pretty to me! Has she ever mentioned anything specific?

 

[Ryon]

She has not told me anything specific but I''m good at picking settings.
It has to be WG (yg and silver both give her a bad rash)
It has to be thin also.
I like frekes settings ( not covered in diamonds just simple and perfect )

 

[CharmyPoo]

May I suggest this setting - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350208614968. He has it up for bidding sometimes and I got it for $120. It is a very delicate and simple setting. The band is very slim and is as delicate as my friend's T&CO novo ering. He should be able to remake the setting to fit your stone. Lan.Bo4 is very good about remaking and customizing settings. I won a setting from him for $100 and he is charging me another $100 to almost completely change the design.
