Here is the ring
http://www.belljewels.com/Aquamarine-Princess_Cut_Blue_Aquamarine_Matching_Ring_Set.html
the setting is unreal for the price, antique looking but the stone is kinda too big for my taste and protrudes, do you think a jeweler can do anything with this so the center stone doesnt stick out so much, even if it means putting a smaller stone in it which actually 1 ct would be perfect.

Most jewelers would not want to work on a prefabricated ring. If it doesn’t come out the way you want it, they will be liable for modifications of the ring.

my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years bought me a really expensive diamond and aquamarine ring for my birthday. it is really pretty, but it’s not really my style and i probably wont wear it much. should i tell him so i can exchange it? i reallllly don’t want to hurt his feelings!! what should i do?!

I think you should wear it regardless if it is your normal style or not. You need to realize that he picked it out for you out of love and spent a lot of money on it for you. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but that is my opinion.

i was wondering does the ring have to be a diamond? or could it be a gem such as aquamarine? what’s the tradition behind the diamond?

Absolutely not. As long as you are prepared for "What kind of stone is that?" and "Is that not a diamond?," a e-ring can be anything you want it to. (Yes, people will ask).

To my knowledge, the diamond tradition was started by DeBeers in a marketing campaign.

I would like a one carat brilliant cut aquamarine set in 14k white gold with three 1/16 carat brilliant cut diamonds on each side of the center stone. How much would this cost to have made? I know I can go to a jeweler, but I would like some opinions before I go waste my time talking with them if I cannot afford it. Thanks!

definitely no more then 300-400 at the most.

I am looking into a ring or necklace with my daughter’s and my birthstone. When I was looking though it seems the birthstones have changed? I always thought it was:
January: Garnet
February: Amethyst
March: Aquamarine
April: Diamond
May: Emerald
June: Pearl
July: Ruby
August: Peridot
September: Sapphire
October: Opal
November: Yellow Topaz
December: Blue Topaz

Does anyone know if this for sure is right… this is what I have always known… but I see there are a lot more options!! Someone help. Thanks

The list you have is a traditional list and is still valid. There are all kinds of revisions of this list which can be considered if you want.

I think the other versions are for people that don’t like their birthstone or can’t afford it. Those people have an alternative.

My birthday is in December and I have heard blue zircon, turquoise, blue topaz, and blue sapphire all as the stone for that month.

Im trying to look for a class ring that’s original, not bulky and that is the aquamarine color….
Also, if you have any pictures of rings or and ideas please let me know..
and i like this style or ring and was wondering what its called:

thanks!!

That style is called a "dinner ring" because the style is large and has cut sparkly stones in it.
It is an Aquamarine stone in the center. It is very pretty. I like it too.

Class rings usually have room on the outer ring for engraved name of school and graduation date. I found one of many website for freestyle class rings here:

With all the subtlety of a butterfly and the same elements of fun, the ring has a striking design. Prong set aquamarines and pink sapphires come alive with er at the play of light. Prong set diamonds add to the zing.

Anyone have some recommendations on places to find them?
I just returned from the jeweler who made my engagement ring and was slightly disappointed.
I have an aquamarine center stone with diamonds on the side for my engagement ring. It doesn’t look good with a plain band beside it. I was hoping to find an aquamarine ring, but they don’t make any that are curved or notched to accomodate my center stone. The store had a very nice looking 5-stone diamond one, but the cost was over $1,600.
That is a bit above what we were hoping to spend so I am looking for alternate places to buy the band.

Where have you looked?
My center stone is 2.5 carats.
I was hoping to spend less than $1,000 on my band, and in order to custom-make a band we’re looking at $2,500 minimum (makes the $1,600 look much better for our budget).

There are chevron (v-shaped) bands, or you could try enhancers/wraps.
Here are some examples for shape -

There are lots on this site – depends on how big your centre stone is -

The continuous symmetry of round aquamarines and diamonds in this eternity ring lends to it an air of exclusiveness. The stones are pave set in white gold.
