I love pearls, which are one of my birthstones (agate is the other) and also love opals... which are supposed to be unlucky if they are not your birthstone, but I don't care.

I love emeralds though... there is just something about them.... The really clear emerald emeralds...... I have some cheaper, that don't have the same clarity, and I really love those, too..... but the clear clear emeralds fascinate me!

Love

Yes, to think that they were minding there own busness, crawling on a tree, then suddenly engulfed in a blob of tree sap! Eternaly preserved and put in a piece of jewelry!

~~Flaws make things individual..and yes very appropriate...Sally.

I like pearls and moonstones and white opals and blue topaz.... I like diamonds too, but the only one I have was my Mum's which she bought 2nd hand with her big win from bingo.......it has a black flaw in it, but I just think that she was a coal miners daughter so it is really appropriate...

Wow thanks Lily!

was getting worried there for a min!

Ill give him an extra kiss when he gets in!

~~~yep..yellow sapphires..quite supreme..next one down from diamonds...so there you go..you not been conned Leanne..lol..they are rated similar to rubies..

So true Lily,

I have some pieces that i would never part with from my nans. Maybe not worth much in money but so much in sentiment!

~~jewellery..very important regardless...memories..sentiments...

lol..Leanne...; )...if Elderick was here,Im sure he would know...he is the all forseeing eye!..lol

A broach that was my grans. It is a cameo broach, but the background is black, rather than the usual caramel colour. Means the world to me. Got a hospital visit tomorrow, and will wear it for good luck, as, if she is watching over me.

~~I guess..with any jewell they can come in variants of colours..regardless of species..they are all to do with carbon..and the periodic table..so..will have to look this one up!..~~Yellow..sapphires...intriguing
