Like everyone else, I love diamonds and pearls! Pearls can make almost anything look classy.

I have some beautiful sapphires (my birthstone) and rubies that I love, but my mama has a killer opal ring (we're talking up to the knuckle!) that I'm not permitted to wear since it's not my birthstone. :( She's already selected another October baby that she will leave it to - drat the luck!

I like rose quartz, too - especially mixed with pale jade!

Whoa, baby, that site rocks!

You're going to notice a pattern here, trust me. :p

Tanzanite (I have a lavendar one set in white gold that I wear all the time)
The purply/turquoise Alexandrites
Amethysts
Blue sapphires
Deep red garnets (My birthstone)

I like lots of purple LOL. Maybe I joined the wrong sorority. ;)

I LOOOVE Garnets! I think the blood red color is gorgeous (particularly when set in white gold or platinum *wink wink*)
I was born in January too and good thing because the Garnet is my FAV. stone. I have some amazing antiqued-jewelry that features garnets and they're so pretty. I always get complitments when I wear them because apparently most people agree with you KillarneyRose and think they're ugly! (LoL about the scab part though, I can't deny that. haha)

*looks at the fab diamond on her left hand*

This one is my absolute favorite - 1.51 carat round cut solitaire - its got intense fire to it - Boy did a really good job of picking a stone

My birthstone is amethyst. As a kid, I loved it because it was purple. It's still pretty. Boy got me some amethyst jewelry for Christmas a few times - but I never got to wear them because they didn't look good with any of my clothes

Other than my engagement ring, I only wear silver jewelry (or other white metals) or pearls. I have a strand of graduated pearls that I got for HS graduation and I love them to death!

Hematite- I like black, it's so chic.
Onyx- Again
Turquoise- Looks good with black
Opals- for the lighter days
Amethyst- My grandmother collected it.

rubies
emeralds
amethyst

Aquamarine of course...it's my birthstone :)

You have to shop hard to find peridots set in white gold or silver, but there are several websites that sell them and they're really pretty. My parents had our jewler make me the prettiest peridots set in yellow gold for one of my birthdays in college (before I switched to white gold). I wear them with my badge a lot now since that is the only time I really wear yellow gold.

Sapphire - it's my birthstone.
Did you know that sapphires can come in just about any color except for red (then it becomes a ruby since they are both part of the corundum family)?
:cool: :D

I'm absolutely in LOVE with the:

Blue Star Sapphire-

I love blue start sapphires! That's mainly due to TKE209 buying me a pair of earrings with this stone set in white gold for our anny. Fell in love with them as soon as I seen them! Also I love rubies, afterall, they're my birthstone!

I love star sapphires. I also love moonstones set in white gold. We have a bracelet passed down in the family on wedding days that is moonstones and white gold, and I truly love the thing. I do wear opals, too, despite being a February baby, and I think they're beautiful. My parents gave me opal earrings and a ring for my 21st. No bad luck here!
