Anywhere to buy a "real" aquamarine

[swtheart99]

Hey there

 

i am not sure if i am posting this question in the right place so i apologize in advance if i am wrong.

 

i am going on the Western Caribbean cruise on the Miracle.

 

Does anyone know or have experience with any good Jewelry Stores that sell real aquamarine stones?

 

Thanks!

I have purchased several pieces of aquamarine jewelry at Rachat and Romero in Cozumel. They also sell loose stones. I've been happy with my purchases there!

At the Tucson Gem show in February of each year. OK, sorry. I know it was not the answer you were looking for, but the better stones and prices will be found in the states, not the caribbean. If you just want a nice memento of your trip, by all means buy something as a souvenir. If you want a quality gemstone, buy it in Tucson or from a reputable local jeweler.
