Amethyst is my birthstone so I like it. I have a ring that my mother gave me for my sweet sixteen that is yellow gold with and an amethyst. My D Phi E sisters thought that I bought it because our colors are purple and gold.

Emeralds, rubies, and sapphires are beautiful, too. Although it isn't a gemstone, I like red coral.

I'm not an Opal lover myself but for those of you who are...and I see a few...check out a black opal if you can! They're really neat! They're darker and the colors stand out well (like you see greens and reds). It's really cool!

That sounds so cool! I've never seen one, but I'll definitely check it out. I love opals. They're so pretty and never stay the same.

I love opals . . . my grandma gave me opal earrings for my birthday when I first got my ears pierced and they were the first "real jewelry" I had.

I love diamonds -- they're my birthstone!

And sapphires and emeralds are really beautiful too.

For the longest time all I wore were opal rings from Mexico....then someone told me wearing opals (if they're not your birthstone) makes them bad luck.
Anyone else hear this? (It would explain a lot, lol...........)

I really love rubies, all shades from deepest red to rose-colored.

On a side note, my birthstone is a garnet; a terribly ugly stone. It is the same color as a scab. When I was little I wanted to change my birthday to July so my stone could be a ruby!

i love peridots....my birthstone....it's just a green stone, but if it's cut right, it can be SUPER pretty. i haven't been able to find a peridot with anything but yellow gold, so it sucks b/c i only wear silver or white gold.

i also love those deep blue stones.....name has left my brain....sapphires.....yeah.....those are beautiful!

My favorite.....diamonds. My second favorite, emeralds (my birthstone). Lastly, I like sapphires (our sorority stone). But you know, any jewelry is fine to me...just as long as it looks pretty and doesn't turn my fingers or neck green!

Well, if I can't pick diamonds or pearls... I would have to say either sapphires, or blue topaz (my birthstone).
