my birthstone is garnet. it`s dark red. I do not care for the color. it always looks so dark. I do not own any jewelry with my birthstone on it.

I have the same birthstone as you. So, you must be a January kid. Right? I don't care for the garnet either, as I feel it is too dark. I really like the topaz and pink ice pale colors, but, January is garnet, so that's what I have. I have some ear rings and rings to match.

My birthstone is Amethyst since my birthday is in February. I love it because purple is my favorite color. I own a set of earrings with my birthstone on it but my mom keeps it for me since I rarely wear it..

My birthstone is Aquamarine. I don't really like it at all. It usually looks like some cloudy diamond. They are almost never blue enough. My old boss made me a ring for my birthday when I still worked there and he found an aquamarine that was a perfect blue color. Its the only one I have ever liked.

that is really nice of your old boss to make you a ring. I think he liked you. I think aquamarine is pretty.

Mine is an opal. I love it. They can be so beautiful. Problem is they are very expensive. So I usually have to go with the cheaper version for my birth stone which is a pink sapphire. It's ok but not as nice as the opal. My sister's in garnet though and she loves hers. She has several things with the garnet in it.

My daughter on the otherhand was born in November and she has that yellow citrine birthstone I dont care too much for that and I'm hoping that I will never get a mothers ring!! I know shame on me right???

That's my birthstone too! :) I don't mind it, but it's not my favorite. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's just so dark that it almost looks black sometimes.

I think garnet is to dark also. it may be pretty if it was a bit lighter.

My birthstone is the diamond.It's okay.I don't see what the big fuss is over diamonds,they seem kind of plain to me. I prefer gems with color like sapphires,rubies,etc although I do prefer pearls over gemstones.

thanks so much for noticing that I have not been here much. a few weeks ago I was having trouble with the icons, photos, etc. loading here. I had to email mylot a few times but now it is working. I have been not on mylot much ever since. I will try and get here more often. I think the peridot is nice. it`s kind of like a lime green.
