Frequently Asked Questions...
Where would I go to have a loose gemstone placed in a setting?
I have an odd little collection of loose gemstones (semiprecious mostly) that I've collected over the years, some peach citrines that would be lovely earrings, an aquamarine that would make a nice pendant, and small garnet I would like to have as a ring etc. Where would one go to have such things made into jewelry? Would a local jewelry store offer this service or would I be forced to find one online?
Answer:
You could go to a retail jewelry store that sends out your gemstones to their goldsmith for mounting, or an independent jeweler who will install them in house. Both will have catalogs for you to look at and choose mountings for your gemstones.
I would avoid going online since your gems may not be properly calibrated ( cut to fit specific dimensions ) and you may end up buying the wrong size mountings. It's also a good way to lose your gemstones that way if you send them out yourself to have mounted to a jeweler you have never met and talked to in person
I would also suggest checking to see if you have a local gem and mineral society. Most will offer classes on how to make your own jewelry. It's not as hard as it may seem, you will actually save money by making your own jewelry, and you would have something hand crafted by you. But if you don't want to make your own jewelry a gem and mineral society will usually have members willing to get mountings for you and set your stones for a price often less than a retail jeweler would

Guide To Princess Aquamarine Engagement Rings And Jewelry
Does the woman you want to propose to like the color of blue, the sky, or the ocean? Then perhaps you should get her a princess aquamarine engagement ring.
Aquamarine is a great gemstone and many women everywhere love these rings. It is a very unique gemstone with its light blue color that will remind you of nature.
Aquamarine is a gemstone which is lighter in color than a sapphire and related to the emerald stone. The colors in it are very similar to those of the sky and the sea, which is why its name is made up of the words aqua which means water, and mare which means sea. They usually grow in Brazil, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
When choosing an aquamarine ring, it is important to look at the color of the stone. Aquamarine's colors depend on the amount of iron, so the color can range from a very light blue to a darker blue with green in it. Darker stones are more prized but light stones are beautiful as well.
The great thing about aquamarines is that they are usually flawless and uniform in color. Aquamarines are high quality stones and finding one that is perfect for you will not be hard at all. Check the stones just in case they have any inclusions from the cuts, so that you can get the best one. Look at the stone from different angles in good lighting so you can see all aspects of the gem.
The setting in the engagement ring can be anything when it comes to aquamarine. You can have it as a solitaire ring or you can put smaller stones around it to make it look even prettier. You can also choose the kind of metal you want for the ring, white gold, yellow gold, silver, and platinum are all beautiful metals.
Aside from engagement rings, aquamarine in princess cut can be used in necklaces and earrings. The beauty of this gemstone with this cut can be turned into a whole set of jewelry that your special someone is sure to love. A matching set with an engagement ring makes it all the more special.
So when you need to choose an engagement ring or even just a new set of jewelry for the person you love, remember princess aquamarine jewelry. You won't regret buying this type of jewelry, since it is always in style and you won't have any problems finding good quality jewelry.
