Why Buying a Loose Aquamarine is Better Than a Ready-Made Ring
Why Buying a Loose Aquamarine is Smarter Than Buying a Ready-Made Ring
Most people walk into a jewelry store and pick a ring off the shelf. But if you are looking for an Aquamarine, buying the "loose" gemstone first is actually the "pro move."
Here is why smart shoppers are skipping the display case and choosing loose stones instead.
1. You See the "Real" Stone
When a gemstone is already in a gold or platinum setting, the metal claws can hide tiny cracks or inclusions on the edges. When you buy a loose Aquamarine, there is nowhere for flaws to hide. You can inspect the stone from the top, bottom, and sides. You know exactly what you are paying for.

3. Better Value for Your Money
Big jewelry stores have huge markups. When you buy a loose stone directly from a dealer and then take it to a local jeweler to be set, you often save a significant amount of money. You are paying for the quality of the gem, not the expensive brand name on the box.
