Here is my first thread where I had my bracelet made.

It was a beautiful piece made by Sally but it had two major things wrong with it. Number 1 was that the topaz while large (which I love
) was irradiated and well it sort of felt like cheating to me on such a special piece. But I couldn't find another emerald cut gemstone that I really loved to fit in the bracelet I wanted made.
The other issue was because the stone was so deep, around 14mm the gemstone sat really high off my wrist as the pearls connected much lower. It just felt awkward to wear.
After a year of it sitting in my jewelry box, I decided I was going to replace the stone. I contact everyone and looked everywhere for something that might fit. Then one day on PS, wonderful Freke put up her 6ct aqua from Barry that she was selling on the pre-loved forum. I think I emailed her within 5 minutes of her putting it up and then it was mine.
So then I had my bracelet, the new aqua and all I had to do was send it to Sally in Thailand and wait...I waited a little bit longer then I meant too because I had a baby somewhere in all this mess so it took me around 5-6 months to get everything to Sally (who was so patient the entire time). I think we both like the new stone better.
Sally just sent me a few pictures and I will definitely share some more as I get them.
New Aqua Specs:
6.17 cts
13x9.7mm emerald cut by Barry
Mozambique
Medium to medium/light slightly greenish blue color
Flawless at 10x.

I really like that high crown!
We had some emails back and forth...but once again I want to wait for my bracelet to come back and take a few days to think about everything then I will write a review.
