I personally love a colored stone. I have black diamonds and was looking at an aquamarine stone before. I love the significance of using birthstones as well. I'll have to hunt up the pic of the one I was looking at though.
ETA- Here we go, this is the one I was looking at.
That's a beautiful ring! We're looking at something like this, but having a jeweler set the center with the Aquamarine...did you buy your stones separately or all through the jeweler?

It would have been all together. I do have a thing about looking for loose stones... but it was just so pretty. I may still get it for a right hand ring...
That setting would look amazing with an Aquamarine in it! Just gorgeous.
Thanks girls! We found one that's a little thinner than this one so that it won't be overwhelming when we add to it with the wedding band. I think we'll need to go thru a jeweler for the whole thing as well...maybe that way I can get the stone cut as I like it.
I have a coloured gem and I couldn't be happier with it. I will never "upgrade" because I had my heart set on a green tourmaline in the first place, and that's what I got!
Go with what makes you happy!
I had originally wanted an aquamarine as an engagement ring! We didn't get one because we found a blue diamond we liked better. When we were looking, we were looking to set an aquamarine into a setting traditionally for diamonds.
Having a colored stone is an interesting experience. I haven't gotten any negative comments, although one girl who knew I wanted an aquamarine commented that I would be happier that I got a diamond down the road (wtf??). Most people who know me know I like to do things a little differently, so I think it was kind of expected that I wouldn't have a more traditional looking ring.
We seriously considered getting a peridot ring... FI's birthstone. Sometimes I wish we had, because I am super into bright colors, but I'm happy with my diamond. Two of my friends have colored stones and I've never heard anyone complain about it. I think they are stunning, one is pink sapphire and the other is pink topaz i think. I think it's a great way to get big bling for your buck. Aquamarine would be beautiful.
I'm a March baby too! I love this idea, & all the rings posted/ the ones I have seen are very stunning. I have a right-hand aquamarine ring that I've gotten from my parents & I love switching hands to see how it would look. That ring looks like this:
And I think it could easily be used for a e-ring.
I have an aquamarine e-ring & I LOVE it! It really has fire to it and often gets mistaken for a diamond.. kinda funny

I have a sapphire engagement ring and love it. I love sapphires and he is British so it is more traditionally with his heritage.
I don't regret having a coloured stone at all. I get a lot of compliments on it.
My fiance surprised me with his great-grandmother's aquamarine ring as my engagement ring. I absolutely love it.
(The picture shows how he presented it to me: in an oragami flower.)

Thanks for all the responses! I'm totally sold, I just really want to make sure the cut is right. All of your rings are GORGEOUS! I'm hoping that I will have a personal picture to put up before the end of spring...here's to all of you and your journeys!
I have an aquamarine stone. I don't regret it one bit. I love having something that isn't common (no offense to anyone) but I really wanted something that looked different. Diamonds are pretty but I love colored gemstones.
If moissanite didn't exist, I would have gotten an aquamarine for sure! They're so beautiful!
@jess: WOW your ring is stunning!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, ladies!
I love seeing the variety of rings posted here; they are all so uniquely beautiful. I had no idea what I wanted my engagement ring to look like, but after receiving his great-grandmother's ring, it is absolutely perfect. I guess she and I have the same style! : )
There was a bee on here that had a total TDF aquamarine ring. I think her name had something to do with vintage?
Anyway, I could totally go for an aquamarine ring in some kind of halo. March is my SO's and my anniversary and my DD's birthday. I think that's an awesome choice and seems like it was one of the more traditional engagement ring stones at one point in time.
Jess, that ring is SOOO beautiful!
Great Idea SoontobeMrsA! I did look on Etsy and found a ton of beautiful creations and loose stones! Thank you!!!
Here's my ring. No regrets about it. We got it from Bela Dora, an estate jeweler.
@ribbons, that is absolutely gorgeous!!!
We are going to look at "jewelry" this weekend...and he couldn't keep from telling me that he got my father's blessing this past weekend!!! 
So this is really moving forward now...
There is my ring :) we got engaged 3 days ago.
Aquamarine with diamonds
LOOOOOVEEE it ;)
Hi Bees,
I've been so busy that I haven't been online in about a month! BUT, my engagement is so close to being official I can hardly stand it! Here are two pics of my e-ring...I was very involved in picking it out, so I have only asked my future fiance to decide how the stone should be mounted (in line or at a diagonal). I love it both ways and think it just makes the ring totally different...what do you guys think?
Also, these pics are of the unpolished mold for the ring...
CONGRATULATIONS Jesuisfiance! How did he do it? My BF is stressing out so completely about making it special and romantic. I really feel sorry for him and keep telling him not to put so much pressure on himself!
@amyknz: I am sorry for the very late response. He made me a big book with photos, letters, readings, poems etc. and there was a cut out at the end with my ring :) it was very original and sweet, now I get to keep the book forever. :)
Whilst I love diagonal, it might get caught on things very easily. It would depend on how active your lifestyle is I guess. I think straight is more practical and still beautiful.
That's incredible Jesuisfiancee!! Thank you Tickles...in the end that's exactly what he did...I'm SO proud of it...here are a couple of pics =)
Love aquamarine!! Would like to share mine! It's not my Ering tho. Just one of my color gemstone rings collection.

Hi Bees,
My BF and I are discussing, and have almost decided, to use my birthstone (aquamarine) as the center stone for my ering. This may or may not be "upgraded" later. Do you guys have pics of your rings where you made the same choice?
Do you regret a colored center stone or prefer it? I'm looking through loose gemstone sites and mostly all I see are round, oval, and princess. I have my heart set on a box radiant or square cushion cut...any advice on that end?
Thanks for your responses!
