I like emeralds, they are so mystical! I have two really pretty emerald rings, both with emerald cut emeralds! My favorite combination.

My fav has to bee kunzite. Take a look at the kunzite in the link below: http://www.wehug.com/img/kunzite-cage-wrap-69518a.jpg

I gave one to my wife a couple years ago and she loves it.

My favorite color is purple and I love Amethyst and purple sapphires (though the prior is a lot easier to come by) one of my favorite all time pieces is a ring I had custome made in San Francisco, from a little gallery that is no more. I've had the stone for years (25+ cts) Emerald Shape Amethyst. I found the gallery and had them set it in brushed silver, the designer ""Curtis Arima" did a fantastic job, and it is my signature ring. It is bold and confident, and guess what I am a guy.

I love labradorite. So unpredictable!

White diamonds of course!!! for the obvious reasons, but I also love Emeralds! It's my birthstone and they have a glam look to them.

I love coloured diamonds, like brown and champagne. I've also taken a liking to the blue of London blue topaz lately.

Hmm tough question but I suppose my absolute favourite would be Rubies and Spinels. I just love that red glow!

Emeralds hands down, its my birthstone, and I just love love love it.

Padparadscha sapphire. I love the sunny pink glow!

Cobalt blue sapphire....rich and beautiful. Just viewed some beauties at the Smithsonian.

Kelly green is my favorite color so my #1 favorite gemstone is chrome diopside. It has such a rich color and it's untreated.

I think it is called "moonstone". It is on this necklace: http://www.etsy.com/listing/61558928/to-die-for-glam-necklace

How can you go wrong with jewels. They are all so beautiful. For me, of course, pearls stands alone. One must do a lot of cutting and polishing to make a diamond or colored stone captivating. But the pearl is unique among gems. Born inside a living creature pearls arrive fully formed and ready to be admired fresh from the shell. I remember the first time I handled a strand of exquisite Tahitian pearls. They spoke to me so profoundly I vowed to go into the pearl business on the spot. And I did. -BBJ

Chrysoprase is gorgeous, such an unusual color, and looks great on just about everyone! Sheila Fajl makes gorgeous pieces with this stone www.sheilafajl.com

I like handmade jewelry from Liza Lalita Lee G.G. of www.satigems.com or sati gems hawaii.

Moissanite! They are even sparklier than diamonds and, as they are all lab grown, eco friendly too.
Black diamonds
Peruvian opals
Pink beryl or morganite
Amethyst--all colors but especially "Rose de France"

Malachite is my favorite stone. I love the rich green color and marbling. I have several beautiful pairs of malachite earrings. Earrings are my passion.

I love tanzanite and emeralds!! Emeralds are my birthstone as well and the colour is so rich! and I love tanzanite because of the purpley blue hue!

Indicolite (a form of teal) and Padparadscha (peachy coral)!

I'd have to say Emeralds (my Birthstone) or Demantoid Garnet. I love Garnets in general, but something about the bright acid green of the demantoid is just my favorite. Tsavorites are also a beautiful green hue. I love green in generally just about any stone. Emeralds are my favorite not just because of my birthstone, but the meaning behind them as well. Symbolizing loyalty and undying love, it's what I hope to have in my engagement ring :)

I'm a huge fan of pearls. Though, I'm not sure if they are considered a gemstone because they are made from an irritant such as sand and from a fluid secreted by a mollusk. They sure are beautiful. I have black, white, copper, and a peach color. My dad thinks it's important that we have pearls. I definitely agree. Speaking of gemstones, I am a fan of chalcedony.

I am addicted to botswana... They are funky, different, and match almost everything... But I really have a soft spot for amethyst!! I guess it depends on what im wearing!!! :) visit my website!!! http://jewelrywonder.com/debbie
