I am looking for an aquamarine ring with a cushion cut stone no smaller than 6 x 8 mm (it can be bigger). I would like it to have a halo setting and diamonds up the band, but probably no more than 1/3 carat diamonds total. It needs to be white gold and I actually prefer a lighter blue-green stone (I understand that is commonly considered a lower quality aquamarine, but I don't like the heat-treated bright blue stones). Oh, and in what is probably the deal-killer, I would like to keep the cost around $500, with probably no more than $625.
This is the closest I've seen to what I would want:

But it is no longer available. I saw a similar ring in a jewelry store, but it had accent diamonds with no significant weight (not that 1/4 to 1/3 carat is a lot) and the setting was very thin and low-quality.
Any suggestions on where to look? I feel like I've checked every major chain jeweler and most places online (I am not sure how comfortable I'd be buying online, as I'd like to see the color of the stone before buying) and I cannot find anything. Most of the bands are very narrow and look odd to me with a larger setting on them. Maybe I need to wait for March when aquamarine will be highlighted by jewelers as the birthstone.
