This piggybacks on KittKatt's post about gems... I found this while surfing on eBay...

It is a simulant quartz called fire-cherry quartz, but who cares? It's gorgeous!

Oooooo! I like!


I can't say I'm nuts about the size of the bigger stones (I'm not a big gemstone person), but I like the colors and looks of it!


I think I started something.

I have a pair of champagne diamond earrings, but no really good diamond studs yet. I'd love to get a chocolate diamond some day, too!


Colored diamonds are awesome, too. I really like those reddish/cinnamon colored ones.


If I ever get rich, I'd like to get a paraiba appetite, and a kunzite. Those stones are just gorgeous!
But way beyond my budget..

I love chocolate diamonds.

My engagement ring has two black diamonds as sidestones. It's beautiful! I think I'm going to have my band made with black diamonds to go with it. I also saw the most gorgeous teal-colored diamonds when I dropped my ring off to be sized! I am NOT a jewelry person, but it was love at first sight

That's one gemstone that I'll probably never own.
They cost a small fortune!


They do have some pretty lab-created ones now though, that actually look nicer than the real ones - and which cost a lot less, too.


I actually like the lab-created opals more than the real ones. They have more depth & color to them.
