Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend?

  1. Sapphires for me as well. :)


  2. 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!

  3. 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.


  4. My favorite stone is turquoise and my second favorite is either moonstone or tourmaline . :)

    But Sapphires are lovely.


  5. I opted for a sapphire engagement ring when I got engaged. It’s a beautiful royal blue.


  6. 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.


  7. Ah, 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?


  8. I would opt for a yellow topaz. It is my birthstone.


  9. 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.

    You did say any stone, money is no option, right?

    BTW, I love sapphires, yellow of course.


  10. 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*


  11. Estella - 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.
    And exactly, why not have both!


  12. 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!!)


  13. Christina - I have to agree. A little bling never hurt anybody!!


  14. I like garnets myself - my birthstone. And I’m not opposed to a well cut diamond either - shiny and colorless goes with everything :)


  15. 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.
