When looking for aquamarines - the richer the colour the more desirable it is. And this natural aqua has the most awesome depth of colour - the pristine ocean in its turquoise blues are calling. Literally named after the latin for "water of the sea" this stone is a very good example as to why. It is a natural stone and this one has some inclusions and is shallow cut - what does that mean?  The inclusions are the little birthmarks - this has some linear ones - that are clearer off the hand than on. In terms of being a shallow stone there is a plus and a minus to this - the plus is that this stone looks a lot bigger than the 4.3ct its weighed (and priced) at. Negatively you do get what is called the window - so in the middle of the stone you see through to the finger - like you would through the ocean to the sea floor. So the main dancing of that blue in the light is in the chunky side facets. 

Set in a vintage ring with hearts in the gallery - this is the perfect gift of love - to self or to someone.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.

Lay-by

As well as Afterpay and Paypal Pay-in-4 which are available at checkout, we also do traditional lay-by.
