Re: Birthstones

  • Emerald and I love it! (Though I hate the lab emeralds...well I hate most lab created stones...I just don't think they give off nearly the same luster and color)
  • April = Diamond! Who doesn't love them!?

  • Mine is a sapphire (Sept), and I like it OK. I like it more than most of the colored gemstones, but as mentioned above, I am a diamond girl.

  • March - Aquamarine

    I like it, I used to have a really pale one that looked like a diamond in the right light.  Blue is my favorite color!

  • Mine is topaz but recently it was changed to citrine.  I love topaz but I hate citrine.  I have a bunch of topaz jewelry but I rarely wear it.  I wear a ring with Eva's birthstone (blue topaz) though.

  • Garnet, hate it.  It's dark red and almost opaque just at a glance (like if it doesn't have a lot of light on it).  I had a necklace with a garnet once, and it was ok, but otherwise it's just too dark for me.  Just IMO.
  • April-Diamond.  It's pretty, but impractical for most gift-giving occasions.

  • It depends on who you talk to.  Some people will say Pearl, some will say Alexandrite.  I like them both.  Alexandrite is really pretty, it changes color depending on the light, sometimes purple, sometimes green, sometimes a bluish green, matches a gemini personality very well Wink
  • Sapphire for me and I like it enough......Like Honey, I prefer diamonds....
  • I am with Ms.Baeker... some say pearl, which I could care less about really and some say alexandrite which is a very pretty light purple, I do not own jewelry in any one of these though.
  • Garnet, and i only like it if it's set in silver or white gold which used to be impossible to find but is getting more popular.

  • Mine is garnet and I like it.  I have a bunch of things with garnet.  I also have lots of other birthstone sets - amethyst, sapphire, diamond, topaz, ruby etc.  I don't care for citrine or peridot though.

    I would LOVE an alexandrite set.  It's one of the rarest gems and it changes colors like PP said.  One stone can cost thousands though.  :(

  • I think mine is Blue Topaz too.  I like the color but I don't own anything in it I don't think.

  • Mine is Sapphire as well...I love it...and I love that the center stone of my wedding ring is a sapphire :-)

  • Aquamarine - love it!
  • Mine is Peridot

    For some reason I just don't like any shades of green.  I don't even own any Emeralds.  Although all stones are beautiful in their own way, the green ones are the last on my list to collect.


  • Blue Topaz (December) 

    I love it but don't have any birthstone pieces of jewelry.

  • I am Peridot too.  I hate it.  I have always been jealous of other "months" esp. those that get diamond and sapphire.  :P
  • Amethyst.  I love it, and I'm otherwise not really into purple.  I like that it comes in dark and light varieties.

  • Ruby and I don't care for them much. I'm not really sure why, but I don't like how some are so red and others are more pink.
