Sapphires are my favorites as far as valuable gems go. I like quartz crystals as well, especially in hand-designed jewelry. I don't care for diamonds; far too overpriced and overhyped in my book.

all my jewelry is Stainless steel with the exception of my septum retainer which is Niobium (black metal) but i'll be swapping that one out for stainless steel once the hole gets big enough

Well, lesee, I'm blonde, so gold goes well on me, so I wear gold a lot. My engagement ring has diamonds on it, and so does my wedding ring, but I have a plain gold band thaat I wear to work. I have a short neck so I don't go for neclaces much, but I have two bracelets, one diamond, one diamond/Sapphire. My watch is a plain gold Rolex Ladydate. I have some cute costume jewellery, and a kicky little freshwater pearl bracelet that I wear when we go to the beach.

Heh, Sapphire's also my favourite valuable stone, but then I'm probably biased since that's my birthstone too.

Whenever I draw jelwery on a character I always go to try and hint for a small detail about them that doesnt get highlighted enough, such as in the case of Natalie (a character I drew for Redblueflare) notice her blue eyes, like pools, are highlighted only more by the prescense of a blue emerald embeded in a gold bracelet...
Here's The Picture
O_o only bad thing is, the gold doesnt match... too much... errr hmm so i guess its a win-lose some situation... the gold kinda goes with her wings but umm err... what was I thinking when I drew the bracelet again? baah I forget.... nevermind the point I was trying to prove, lets just go with the revision: STONE jewlery should hint the little things about a person to compliment them like eyes... OK!

Hmm.. well I have a fair bit of costume Jewelry. Some I bought, some was given to me and some I inherited. For semi-precious things I have a lot of amber (necklaces of polished beads and raw pieces, pins, a ring and earrings), and some pearl earrings. I'm allergic to many metals so need 14k gold or stainless steel posts/wires in earrings. All my amber is from Russia. One raw piece was found on Baltic beach by a teacher who gave it to me for my birthday my first time in Moscow.

I've been looking at engagement rings with my sweetie, just for style..

And I like the platinum settings.

As for stones.. emeralds, opals, cognac diamonds, sapphires, onyx.. I like lots of things, alot depends on the setting. [img]smile.gif[/img]
