Hi, PSers:
I have a problem. I was so impressed with the Asscher that Jeff White cut recently that I asked if he could cut an aquamarine for me. He found a beautiful stone and is ready to proceed. The problem is this....I thought a 3-4 ct for a ring would be beautiful but he says that the stone could yield a 5-7ct gem. 5 to 7ct is 10-11mm! That seems huge to me. Should I go for the "greed" and have him cut the larger stone or stick with the original plan? I have a 2.78 ct Heliodor that I had make into a ring recently and that baby looks and feels enormous. I have big hands and can accommodate a large stone, but is 5-7ct too big for a ring? Would I have to take up weightlifting? Does anyone have pictures of a 5-7ct ring? Any ideas would be appreciated.
