OBVIOUSLY I cannot give answers to the 12 but my for gemstones my favourites would be blue diamonds and sapphrires~ haha. not cheap am I?
ReplyDeleteI fancy the pink diamond myself but I'm not much of a jewellery person.
ReplyDeleteOH I'm hopeless with bling:
I"m pretty sure 6 is a diamond? 8 is a sapphire and 9 an emerald . . .10 I think is a pink diamond too and 12. Just different colours and cuts.
1. tanzanite
ReplyDelete2. colour looks like ruby - do rubies come with the star?
3. garnet (or a fake ruby) (colour isn't right for either I think)
4. blue topaz
5. peridot
6. ?
7. ? fake emerald (too dark)
8. fake sapphire (not dark enough)
9. emerald
10. ? pink diamond? do they come pink?
11.?
12. diamond
I love gems. Would love a tanzanite like #1 - have a couple rings with them but they are small and not great colour but tanzanite is my favourite - used to be amethyst - but I also love sapphires and rubies and garnets -emeralds are growing on me. I have a LOT of jewelry
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell from photos and no way to tell what size these stones are...but here goes for fun :o)
ReplyDelete1. Fancy cut deep purple/blue Tanzanite - so rare! I want one!
2. 6 point star ruby.
3. Looks like a red sapphire, as I have one just like it.
4. Tricky...strange cut. If it was aquamarine, it would be a rare find in that rich colour, so I'd guess at topaz but not sure.
5. Probably peridot, but could be green sapphire or Tsavorite garnet
6. This looks like a rare Ceylon sapphire to me - they are pale sky blue like chicory flowers. Or it could be a blue diamond.
7. Emerald maybe. They're rarely clear and this one has visible inclusions.
8. Looks like deep sapphire colour but not a good photo as it shows little fire. Might as well be glass.
9. Probably too clear for emerald, so tourmaline or alexandrite maybe.
10. A bit stumped, it coud be a (disappointing!) pink diamond, a pink tourmaline, or pink kunzite.
11. Guessing again...chrome diopside?
12. Looks like an ice blue diamond - strange colour though.
See if you can find yellow kunzite - it's really unusual and sort of glows from within even if you shade it!

I love bling too...especially the real stuff that you're talking about. The coloured stones are my favourites...sapphires, emeralds, rubies, etc. Diamonds? If they're with other stones, yes, but on their own, they do nothing for me.
ReplyDeleteWow. Tough to name them stones but you seem to have quite a few readers that seem to know what they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteAll time favorite for me I guess is Sapphire but I am also into Tourmaline and amber.
Very good answers...

10 is my fav i LOVE pink, reg color and yellow diamonds so pretty as far as my answers i dont know lol
ReplyDeleteI'm still discovering gems I've never heard of before. To me "bling" is cheap OTT fake stuff - I couldn't use the term for genuine gemstones.
ReplyDeletePuss-in-boots - what about coloured diamonds? A good white diamond, even a quarter carat, is an amazing thing! Hold one in the sun, and gently turn it around - it will reward you with a display of intense shafts of brilliant, dazzling coloured light, in all shades of the spectrum! Fancy coloured diamonds do too, I'm told. And they're tougher than other coloured stones - diamonds are forever!
