I’m not a big gem stone fan, but I DO like the aquamarine rings at Apples of Gold. I love anything antique-looking and the rings on the site are beautiful. While not the least-expensive ones in the bunch, these are definitely heirloom-type pieces that can be passed down from generation to generation. My favorites: Vintage Fleur-de-Lis, Enchanted Aquamarine, and the Natural Aquamarine Moon Ring. Guys (do guys read this blog????) – if you’re looking for a killer XMAS present then I’d suggest taking a peek at this site. I’d definitely go with one of the more vintage looking pieces – Apples of Gold seems to do that pretty well.

I’m IN LOVE with the moon ring (first ring pictured). I think big, substantial rings like that look amazing on your finger. Also, the detail on the second ring pictured above is killer. It would have an almost knuckle-duster vibe to it, topped off with an aquamarine stone…so rad and super feminine-tough.
