Despite the emergence of newer cuts and more popular gemstones, there are still plenty of men and women who prefer to wear this type of jewelry simply because they have seen and experienced the wondrous advantages the combination gives.
Though it is not as famous as its other gemstone counterparts such as rubies and diamonds, aquamarine is still sought after because of its hardness. In fact, it comes close to the diamond in the Mohs scale. This means that it does not get damaged easily and is well protected from scratches.
Even if it is predominantly blue, it still works very well with almost any type of skin and eye color. It can be worn when you are in your casual attire and when you are in your best suit or gown on special events. Because it shimmers or glimmers when exposed to light, there is no way that you cannot capture the attention of others.
Most of all, an aquamarine gemstone is usually free of any type of inclusion. You get the best value for your money, and when the stone is set in your favorite cut like the cushion cut, you are assured that little to no portion of it is being removed.
Finding a cushion cut ring these days, particularly one that has an aquamarine stone, can be pretty hard because it has been dominated by better and newer cuts like marquise or princess. However, that does not mean that it is inferior in quality and beauty.
This type of cut is also known as the candlelight, because a long time ago it is best viewed under the candlelight. You will hardly miss it, though. The stones are larger and cut with rounded corners. It is necessary for the setting to have at least 4 prongs to make sure that the stone is well placed and protected. More may be needed if you are using a much larger aquamarine.
The charm of the cushion cut rings lies in the fact that it is a very classic cut and very romantic. That is why it is also being given away as an engagement ring. When placed side by side by other round cuts, cushion cuts always stand out. It also allows you to bring the attention directly into the stone, which should always be the highlight of any type setting or ring style.

Jewelry made with opals has become rather popular accessories. The availability of good quality stones, along with the mastery of skills needed to create splendid designs have made a beautiful opal inlay ring a much coveted commodity.
Now considered as an affordable luxury, opal jewelry offers no compromise on quality and creative workmanship. These are very exciting times for a consumer like me.
Opal is an eye-catching gemstone and I am especially fascinated that they can display the full color range of a rainbow. The uniqueness of its color play is just too good to ignore. It's not any more exclusive to people whose birthday is on the month of October. Opal has already caught a lot of people's fancy. And for some time now, it has become my favorite gem.
They make sensational jewelry, perfect if you want a fine-looking and unique piece for your collection. And if you're lucky, you could get them at an affordable price. The key is to know your opals and taking the extra effort to find the one.
An opal inlay ring is among the designs very fashionable these times. So if you plan to buy one, here are some things to consider:
- The ideal opal for inlaying is likely to be a fine quality crystal opal. An opal that is transparent so to see shimmers of color when you hold it against the light.
- If you have the right budget, you can opt for a black opal that is just divine for any kind of jewelry.
- Any metal setting will work for inlaid jewelry. Choose a setting thought that can provide stability, then beauty to your opal jewelry.
- If you opt to have accent stones, make sure they complement the opal. With opal as the center stone, it won't be a problem. Opal goes well with diamonds, rubies, and other precious stones.
- Consider the opal that you find most attractive and that fits your budget.
Browsing the web for opal jewelry, made me realize what I want for Christmas. I would definitely want to see a .96 carat black opal with diamond accents in 14k white gold setting around my right ring finger. Wearing rings around the index or pinky finger maybe vogue and meaningful but my ring finger would do fine. And yes, maybe a pair of matching opal earrings as well.

Bring on the royal era with beautiful emerald rings
The royal kingdoms in most of the civilizations across the world were fascinated by green emeralds and rightly so because of its precious rarity, intense green radiant color and a mystical aura around it. Whether it was for personal jewelry, or as adornments for thrones, crowns or swords, or as simple jewels, the vibrant beauty of emeralds reflected royal splendor.
In the contemporary times too, emeralds are gradually emerging as one of the leading choices for gemstone jewelry. Especially, emerald rings for cherished occasions as engagements, anniversaries and birthdays add a touch of royalty to the celebrations. Further, the uniqueness of emerald rings is accentuated by beautiful designs. A simple elegant solitaire ring setting with a nicely cut emerald is a timeless classic whereas a cushion cut emerald surrounded by a cluster of small diamonds set in gold is spectacular. Thus, an emerald has an inherent beauty to either understate or make a jewel opulent depending on the ring design. But, the royal look of the green jewel never fades.
Here we present few choicest of designs for emerald rings. For classic elegant styles beautiful choices are; emerald prong set solitaire ring and emerald cross ridged contour solitaire ring setting where the shape and cut of the emeralds is the wearer's selection and are appropriate as gifts for birthdays to a dear friend or colleague; with an added touch of dazzle and suitable as emerald engagement rings, some stunning designs are emerald ring with trapezoid and straight baguette diamonds, pear shaped emerald with round and kite shaped diamonds on either side and oval emerald with bullet cut diamonds on either side; for those who prefer spectacular and yet classic styles some choices are; round central emerald and princess cut diamonds set as matching band which is a two layered emerald ring with small sparkling diamonds set alongside the whole band (the shape and size of the central emerald stone and the diamonds may be varied as per individual's preference); and emerald three stone trellis ring with princess cut diamonds.
These are some of the pre-set designs for emerald rings, but, if one wish to have a truly unique ring a creative option of custom-making it from a good jeweler may be explored. For emerald engagement rings, getting it custom-crafted with a personally designed ring is a satisfying feeling and also makes her or him feel very special on the memorable day in one's life.
Whatever be the design, these green gems bring along a touch of royal splendor and elegance and therefore it is suggested that your jewelry box must have at least one jewel crafted with these precious green stones.

How much does it cost to replace a stone in a ring?
i have 3 rings that i need to replace the stone in. two of them are gold and have little circle opal stones in them. and another is a silver ring that has a tear drop shaped cherry amber stone. how much would it cost to get each of those replaced?
its the size of black pepper. you know the ones that are like little balls
Depends on the size and quality of each stone. You would be better off going to a local jeweler for an estimate.

Are these two rings identical, or am I just seeing things
?
http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/10k-White-Gold-Aquamarine-and-Diamond-Ring/4768175/product.html
http://www.zales.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4343751
I bought the one from Zales for my mom. I did notice the one I bought my mom was 14K white gold in lieu of 10K white gold, but how am I to know if in reality they're both the same ring and both 10K white gold with one just being falsely advertised? haha
It doesn't matter to me really, but I want to kill some curiosity I guess.
PS: Which one do you like more?
the only difference i can see is that, although both the jewels are rectangular shape, the second one is vertical, the first horizontal.

emerald or Peridot engagement ring?
Which would make a better engagement ring? An emerald with diamonds or a peridot with diamonds?
I'm very light skinned with red/blond hair and green eyes.
im obsessed with emeralds..sooo emerald! but like it also kinda depends on your skin tone..emerald is better with fair skin and peridot would be better with more olive-y skin tone color. but whatever you decide congrats!

A Timeless affair with Vintage rings and Jewels
Wedding is the most spectacular occasion in an individual's life. It is the beginning of a new life long journey of two people who have agreed to be there for each other at every step of life. To make this relation more strong there is nothing best than Vintage rings. This ring is exchanged between couples as an emblem of their love and affection for each other. Vintage ring is a timeless and classy piece used in this occasion for making that day magical.
Most common and precious form of such rings is silver vintage rings. Silver is greatly used for making such rings as it is non-allergic and affordable by all. Since it possess extreme lustrous and smooth surface, jewels created with it are dazzling and tantalizing. It is malleable, ductile and soft and amazing glittering pieces can be created with it. Apart from rings, wedding bands that can be worn by both bride and groom are also designed with this material to make perfect wedding elements. They are instilled with precious gem stones and semi precious stones to increase their beauty.
In addition to silver, other materials used for making vintage rings are white gold, gold, platinum and non allergic metal. Among them gold and white gold are commonly used due to extreme lavishness attached with them. They are used with stones to create immaculate pieces. Stones such as diamond, ruby, topaz, opal, amethyst and American diamond are used for preparing these pieces. Exquisite wedding band can be crafted with these stones to create simple ornaments for both men and women. Bride and groom can wear similar designs to make their love more strong.
The Gothic style for vintage rings is an ever demanding style. These days buyers have also inclined towards Retro and Modern styles to owe a combination of modernity with traditionalism. After this is Victorian, Roman and Georgian design which is in great demand. This is because such designs have perfect blend of style with class and are really voguish. Tremendously bejeweled rings can be created on demand that is themselves masterpiece. For this reason, individuals have become crazy for vintage rings as symbol of their love towards their life time partner.
Just like vintage ring for wedding, engagement ring has its own meaning and in-depth value attached with it. It is worn in the ring finger of left hand by girl and right hand by boy as this finger is considered as finger of love and soul. Nowadays, people have become very specific about these elements also and that is why it is important for bride and groom to wisely make a selection for their partners. They can easily do so by making a purchase through online outlets. Ample numbers of outlets sell these units that are obtainable at affordable prices. Such stores offer easy shipment services to their customers along with free gifts.

Im thinkingof gettin an aquamarine engagement ring set, I dont know what the stats mean, is this a good ring?
I really like this ring set but there isnt a hand model so I cant tell much about it, I also dont know anything about rings, is this a good ring?
http://www.belljewels.com/Aquamarine-Princess_Cut_Blue_Aquamarine_Matching_Ring_Set.html
It's a beautiful ring set; however it's only 1/3 karat of diamond "accents" (1 karat =about $1000) The little design stones will be quite tiny. Aquamarine is a birthstone, not a diamond. Depending on the blue & karat wt./size it can still cost from $100 to $600. Since you have a 30 day guarantee, read small print! Get it appraised. It'll cost a bit (around $100; call local jewelers/check yellow pgs) but if its your wedding ring set, you'll be wise to take the extra steps. If you do this you're mind will be at ease. I do love the style!

How much did your Engagement/Wedding ring cost?
I found a very nice ring at Zales.com its a 3 stone emerald cut 1.5ct white gold... Take a look at it and let me know what you think..and I would like to know how much your ring cost..Only to be nosy..I know its not the price of the ring that matters, so you don't have to say anything about the price............
http://www.gordonsjewelers.com/sm-1-1-2-ct-tw-emerald-cut-certified-diamond-three--pi-3213345.html
Interesting....geography must have something to do with the price of rings. I live outside of NYC and my ring is a 1 carat princess cut solitaire with 48 small diamonds on the sides of the band and setting (hard to explain...)...altogether, the ring is 1.5 carats, almost flawless quality, set in platinum. The only reason I know how much my fiance paid is because we got it insured: he bought it for $6,000, but originally it was almost $7,000.
We just got our wedding bands, and mine is a .5 carat of diamonds in white gold (platinum was too expensive to match my engagement ring) which cost us $500 on sale, so I'm very happy with that!
Good luck and congrats =)
