where to purchase aquamarine?

[pannini]

so my birthstone is the aquamarine, and been curious as to where to buy a loose stone or to buy a complete setting (either ring or earrings).

any guides would be helpful, such as online vendors or tips!

thanks so much.

If you haven''t already, check out Ryon''s thread: https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/show-me-your-aquamarines.116952/

You will see several examples of aqua, which will give you a good idea of what to look for. Some even provide vendors they went through.

Aquamarine can be quite inexpensive in washed out colors, or quite expensive in more vivid and deeper toned blue/greens. It all depends what your budget is and what you are looking for. It appears that gemlineinc has some nice ones for the price. Paraibainternational also has some better colored ones, but the prices reflect this.
