I'm hoping someone remembers this ring. It's from a silver jewelry and gemstone designer that had dozens of items in the first half of the 1990s, Kabana. Do you think it is aquamarine or blue topaz?

Just out of curiosity I googled Kabana  and blue topaz and found this ring on gems.app. You can also get in touch with the company. They have a website.

Real pale, too pale.    Prettiest blue color is Tanzanite

From the picture it looks like Aquamarine to me but could easily be a blue topaz either.  Sorry I haven't helped!

@Pyrite2616.  Definitely pale blue topaz.  Aquamarine, being soft, would never be set with unprotected pointed ends, plus an aqua that size would be prohibitedly expensive.

Thanks @Beammeupscotty and especially @Kachina624 for your wisdom. Thanks @Janey2 even though I think contacting a company on merchandise they made 30 years ago seems unlikely to get results. I think the ring probably is blue topaz, but that means that there's still a marquise aquamarine ring out there I'm searching for.

Here's another one: Do you think this is Blue Topaz or Aquamarine?

Now to me that one does look like blue topaz.  In my experience Aquamarine is much lighter.  It's my dd's birthstone.

@Pyrite2616.  I really like that setting but it's most likely blue topaz too.   I'd prefer it with a deep blue stone.

I have a an aquamarine that's exactly that color ( 50 yrs old from Bangkok).
