I’m all about emeralds. But y’know, I wouldn’t say no to a big fat sapphire, either!!
Shameless plug alert … I’ve got an Ellora’s Cave book coming out in May that features a big mystical aquamarine!

Sapphires are my birthstone and (don’t tell the Redneck) I would have preferred it for an engagement ring.
I think they’re BEAUTIFUL.
Great post, Shelley.
Sapphires are beautiful but I think I’ll go for a diamond, particularly a pink diamond. I’ve been partial to them since J. Lo sported a pink diamond on her finger.
A Yellow Diamond - (not the bright canary) Just a medium yellow. MORE– At least 5 carats, (7 would be better) radiant cut in 18KT white gold in a very simple, raised basket setting.
I did alot of reading on sapphires lately too! lol Did you know that in the 18th century Sapphires were used to test female loyalty, its color changed if its wearer was unfaithful. *blink*
I’m torn between Amethyst and sapphire. so why suffer I just buy both *g*
I love sapphires, but I must confess I didn’t know anything about them before today! I’ve got a sapphire and diamond engagement ring, but we got it because it was just so pretty! (and sparkly, I am partial to sparkly things!!)
I’m partial to garnets as well, though my fav ring (before I lost it - grrr) was a simple black NZ river stone that had been set in silver. So gorgeous.
Sapphires for me as well. :)

Great post, Shelley.
My favorite stone is turquoise and my second favorite is either moonstone or tourmaline . :)
But Sapphires are lovely.
by Cassandra Curtis February 26th, 2008 at 10:01 amI opted for a sapphire engagement ring when I got engaged. It’s a beautiful royal blue.

by Jane February 26th, 2008 at 4:01 pmAh, quite a few sapphire fans.
Wylie - I wouldn’t say no to an emerald. And I love the cover of your upcoming release. The artist has used great colors.
Jennifer - I won’t tell
Cassandra - Turquoise is pretty, too. It’s actually my birthstone so I should sing its praises as well.
Pussreboots - royal blue is such a pretty color. I didn’t realize sapphires came in other colors as well as blue until I did some research.
Jane - aren’t pink diamonds quite rare?
by Shelley Munro February 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pmI would opt for a yellow topaz. It is my birthstone.

You did say any stone, money is no option, right?
BTW, I love sapphires, yellow of course.

by Marissa Alwin February 26th, 2008 at 7:17 pmEstella - I just googled yellow topaz. Very pretty!
Janet - yes, no problems with money. I’m a fan of white gold, too. Sounds lovely.
Marissa - I wonder why we’re reading about sapphires.
by Shelley Munro February 26th, 2008 at 7:53 pmAnd exactly, why not have both!

by Christina Phillips February 27th, 2008 at 12:23 amChristina - I have to agree. A little bling never hurt anybody!!
by Shelley Munro February 27th, 2008 at 12:29 amI like garnets myself - my birthstone. And I’m not opposed to a well cut diamond either - shiny and colorless goes with everything :)
