Aquamarine is such an interesting gemstone. It's in the Beryl family, along with Goshenite, Emerald and Morganite. 

This Aqua's in the light-to-mid range of color. That's basically a cost factor. If you want the really dark material, let me know, but it literally triples the price. What we're aiming for is the most bang for buck, the most color and still be in same price range as most of our other stones this size. We think we've accomplished that. 

Decent color, decent price. Like I said, if you want the really high dollar stuff, let me know -- we can do that. We'll do our best to make you happy (but your wallet's going to gripe about it...)

Please notice the thickness of the silver in this mounting.  These are substantial, without being weighty.  I like my stones well protected, and I assume you do too!  This is the way we make our jewelry. We don't skimp on metal, and our stones are always hand picked. 

This ring just looks great!
