I am looking for a ring with Nino Santa Maria Aquamarine.

Check out this website www.valituttijewelry.com. Is this the same Valitutti. I bought two pieces from the site and got them independently appraised – great quality – great value!!!!!!!!!
I hope this helps.

I bought a beautiful 1 1/2 ct. t.w. emerald-cut aquamarine and diamonds ring a few months ago. I decided to replace the aquamarine gemstone with a sapphire at my local jewelry store; the owners have been in business for a long time and have excellent customer ratings. A natural sapphire would cost a lot more than I would want to spend on this ring, so I picked a lab-created gem. The jeweler told me that the cost would be about $400 plus labor. My question is, how do I know I’m paying the right price for this gem? He had some brilliant-cut sapphires on display and asked me to point which one (color) I preferred, so I haven’t actually seen the gem to replace the aquamarine. I left the ring and a down payment with the guy. What if I don’t like the ring? Can I dispute the results? Or is this one of those "this is what you asked for, all sales are final" situations where I just have to pay and move on? I don’t want to question whether he really knows what kind of gem I’m looking for, but an emerald-cut, I assume, will be a different shade from the brilliant-cut samples I saw. I just don’t want to end up with a dull, cheaper-looking gem on my ring.

The brilliant cut would have much more light refractory capabilities than an emerald cut. Last time I checked, brilliant cuts were only done in round stones but that may be different now. An emerald cut is generally rectangular. If you chose the shade while looking at brilliant cut stones, but your stone will be emerald cut, you may be dissapointed. While the actual "shade" can be the same, the luster and sparkle will not be. Your emerald cut will have a little less pizzaz than the brilliant cut ones. I, personally, do not think $400 is a fair price for a lab created stone (and mounting) but jewelry stores are always going to cost more than online sources for loose gemstones. Multicolour dotcom and JTV dotcom are two that are very reputable and have never sold me any fakes. Ebay is not a good place to look….trust me. As far as disputing the results, that would be between you and your jeweler. You could use the argument that he showed you BRILLIANT cut stones instead of emerald cut ones so you were unable to accurately judge the shade and luster of your stone. I hope you end up loving it though so you wont have to dispute it!

In a month, it will be our two year anniversary. For our one year anniversary, I did not get him anything because I didn’t realize I should. He claims that girls are not supposed to buy their boyfriend’s presents for valentines day or anniversaries. For our one year, he gave me a dozen roses and a beautiful gold and aquamarine bracelet.

This time, I’d like to give him a little something. I don’t want to spend a lot, and we’re already going out for dinner, so I won’t make him a meal. I’m 21 and he’s 22 and we’re both college students, so I have a very tight budget. He doesn’t like the traidtional stuff like cologne, jewelry, etc.

Does anybody have any unique and thoughtful gifts? Something simple that I don’t have to spend much on but shows how much I love him?

My boyfriend and I are really close and serious and by Christmas we will have been going out for10 months.
This winter break, however, my boyfriend is going on a cruise with his family. He’ll be gone the whole break so I won’t see him.
I want to get him something sweet and small that I can give to him to take with him and open on Christmas.

I was thinking a James Avery ring, but I’m not sure if a guy would like that?
a March remembrance ring (we started going out in march) http://secure.jamesavery.com/jewelry/search/product/R-1410AQ/Avery-Remembrance-Ring-with-Aquamarine-(March)/
or just a plain ring: http://secure.jamesavery.com/jewelry/search/product/WB-74/Forever-Band/

which of these or any other ideas? Please help!

I have some jewlery that I am thinking about selling/pawning. Most of it I either do not, nor will ever wear or they are mismatched pieces (one earring with the other missing, etc) or they are loose stones.
The jewelry includes
1 24kt gold 1/4ct diamond stud
1 14kt gold 1/5ct diamond stud
1 loose 1/4 ct flawless citrine
1 14kt gold white opal earring
1 14kt gold pendant with 1/5 ct aquamarine

If I sell them I would put the money in savings or use it to help finish paying off my credit card.
Could anyone tell me what a good total for these items would be worth? Should I even sell them or save them? Is their value worth more as jewelry or monetarily?

Sell it, you never wear / will never wear. Although the fact that some is missing will make the price go down. I don’t think anyone on Yahoo answers will be able to give you a decent price range – go to a FEW gold inspectors who will buy gold off you and see what they all say.

You probably won’t get enough to make it worth your effort. 14 kt gold is barely over 50% gold and the pieces you list are very small. You also need to make sure they’re solid 14 kt gold rather than just plated or filled. With the exception of the one 24 kt stud what you have is considered costume jewelry. A mismatched piece isn’t worth anything to another person so you’d basically be selling it for scrap. I’d be very surprised if you got $20 for everything. But you can check with a gold buyer or pawn shop easy enough.
