Congrats! It is so pretty!!!

I got mine too. I just love it!!! It looks very similar to yours and I am a terrible PSer, no pics! What are you going to do about setting? I know exactly what I want but it is going to cost a lot more than I originally wanted to spend. (bezel setting, will be around $1000) so it''s sitting in my jewelry box for now.

Thanks everyone!

TDM, I gotta see pics girl! I too may be putting in on hold to set for awhile. I have contacted Sally at Heart of Water jewels and I have a few ideas of how I want it set. Although I usually prefer white gold, she said she was a big fan of Yellow for the aqua and believed it would make the color pop. Also, it is less expensive for you to do yellow gold..............so I will probably go that route...but with a touch of white gold in a few spots. Stay tuned. I am going to sketch out a few ideas and send them to her. Hopefully they are in budget. You may want to consider her as her prices are really great for custom made pieces and she does phenominal bezeling on her settings.

Honestly, I''m not really impressed by the color, but I''m more than impressed by the cutting, and especially the level of transparency of this stone - wow! Not sure if it''s because of the cutting, but this stone really shows how sparkly and crystal-clear aquas can be, which is one of their almost unique features. Really looks like a droplet of water, and even in the photos it looks to be shimmering! I''d definately think about accentuating that characteristic with an open setting and maybe some diamond sides (but that''s just me, and I''m not going to be wearing it). Enjoy it!

This is spectacular! I have to say, and I know i am in the minority about this, but I loooooove that it''s so light in color - it''s just so delicate looking. But then, I also like pale sapphires too, so I''m off a little on the color issue

I know! I so wish I could have gotten a darker stone ,however, I would have had to skimp on size to do so and I was already skimping on size as it is! Thanks for the suggestion. Not sure if I will add diamonds or not though! I have lots of ideas rolling around in my head!


Thanks everyone for your kind compliments~!
