Mine is a nice deep blue sapphire. But, I am partial to an awful lot of other ones, as long as it's not a diamond. They actually strike me as being kinda common these days. I like a sparkle, but want some color with it.

I love emeralds and like you, a deep blue sapphire! Although diamonds are pretty, I find the other gemstones much prettier! My absolute favorite is emeralds for sure!

Emeralds do seem to be popular. There are so many gemstones out there. It's almost hard for me to tie myself down to only one color.

Well my favorites are opals. I love the colors and fire of them. It's also my birth stone so that might be why I'm partial to them. After that it's emeralds. I love the green and the sparkle that is in them. Green is one of my favorite colors. :)

Heheh yeah emeralds are a given with me and with my name :) I had some opals but they were in a cheap setting and they fell out. I need to get some new ones but that is a bit out of my price range right now.

Hmmm, I think I'm shocked that that would be your favorite emerald! I have a couple of nice Louisiana opals myself.

I prefer very much the Amethyst. Purple is a favorite of mine and so that stone is very much appealing. Emerald is my birthstone and that is ok by me also. Your sapphire is indeed a lovely stone and one that can catch the eye in many a situation.

Amethyst or Tanzanite as i really love the colour purple. I also likes blue, like Topaz and Sapphire. I kinda like Diamons even though they are a bit common, since we can't afford much so my Diamond engagement ring is not only traditional but it also my only piece of real Diamond jwellery!

I dont think that diamonds are too common. I think that fake diamonds are too common. LOL I have this awesome diamond ring that I bought myself that has 8 channel set stones it is an awesome ring, and I wear it every single day. Im not saying that there is anything wrong with wearing fake diamonds, but I only wear the real ones because i am convinced that it is pretty east to tell the difference between the real and not so real ones.

I like diamonds. But my favorite gemstone is a sapphire. It also happens to be my birthstone. I'm glad that I lucked out with an awesome birthstone since some out there aren't the prettiest. The nice things about sapphires is that they match everything. Some gemstones don't match clothing unless specifically paired up with something.

My birthstone is the diamond. I'd rather have something with a little more color to it, but hey it's the way it is. I just use them to accent other colors.

That's cool. At least you still have a pretty birthstone. And you can wear it with anything as well. I have a white gold sapphire ring with a small diamond on each side of it. I love it. My dad bought it for me for Christmas one year. =) I'd had my eyes on it for 2 years.
