Loose Pear Shaped Aquamarine
Loose Pear Shaped Aquamarine
Discover a gemstone that captures the essence of a clear blue summer sky. This 1.15-carat pear-shaped aquamarine, sourced from a recent and limited find in the Skardu region of Pakistan, is a rare beauty. While the area is known for rough material often suited for cabochons, this aquamarine stands out with its exceptional clarity and stunning "Sky Blue" color. Comparable to the vivid "Swiss Blue" topaz, this gemstone is completely natural and untreated, making it a true treasure for collectors and jewelry enthusiasts alike. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece that echoes the tranquility and brilliance of the summer sky.

A Note About Pricing & Global Supply
A Note About Pricing & Global Supply
Due to ongoing tariff changes and global supply fluctuations, real-time pricing for metals and gemstones can be unpredictable. While all of our pieces are made in the U.S., many tools and materials are sourced globally out of necessity.
We always aim to offer you the best possible rate—if we purchase at a lower cost, that savings is passed on to you. But if a key material rises significantly in price before your piece is completed, you may be responsible for the difference. We'll communicate clearly and fairly every step of the way.
Thank you for supporting small-batch, meaningful work in an ever-shifting landscape.
