Where to Find a Cushion cut Aquamarine?

[ilovethiswebsite]

Does anyone know where I can find either:

1) a loose cushion cut aquamarine (about 2 carats) ?

or....

2) a halo ring with an aquamarine center similar to this style ?

Not sure if I want to go the custom route or not but I am looking for a ring that looks similar to Leon''s cushion halo ring. I also have NO IDEA where to start looking for a loose aquamarine stone... I have not liked any of the settings I have seen in the mall stores I have been to.

Either what Harriet said, or ask one of the custom cutters to see if they can cut one for you.

Thanks Harriet for mentioning ParaibaInternational.com, they have really beautiful deep blue aquas. It''s so hard to come by deep blue aquas in this day and age.

Lovely but I could never justify paying their prices! I know you can negotiate with them but even so, I wouldn''t feel happy paying those prices.

Does anyone know how much they take as far as offers are concerned? Can you low-ball? Or does it have to be a close offer?
