Hello Ladies!
I'd love to get your help/feed back on a new ring project.
First off, a shoutout to the folks at Good Old Gold. Stephanie was so easy to work with and they were so helpful with helping me find some baby AVCs in a warm color in my budget.
I purchased this cute matched pair from them.
Specs:
.26ct N color, VVS1
3.83 X 3.69mm
3.76 X 3.65mm


These are the cutest little fireballs! I love them. I tend to like warmer diamonds and was so surprised at what a bargain they came out to be.
I cut a 2.06 ct aquamarine ages ago (back when I was first learning how my lapidary skills-- this thing is literally 20 years old) It's not the nicest aquamarine, has a few inclusions in it, and a thick girdle but it is one of the first stones I ever cut and I've been wanting to set it in a nice ring for some time.
(please ignore my chapped hands...and yes, I know I need to redo my manicure! been potting plants and cleaning the house all morning
)



The specs on the aquamarine:
2.06ct
8x6.2x6mm
I can't decide if I should do a white metal or yellow gold. Simple 3 stone basket setting or maybe something fancier? I was also toying with the idea of setting it with a spessertite or mali garnet instead but for what ever reason it feels like it's *time* to set my aquamarine. I realize the warmth of the diamond might look odd with the center stone, but I don't think its too bad.
Looking forward to hearing folk's feedback!
