~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Through the years, I’ve accumulated a few pieces of jewelry that I bought myself. I gave away some of them but I also kept some that I’m planning to give our little one when she’s old enough. My mother didn’t have jewelry except for her watch and her wedding ring. I have no idea where her watch is now but I have her wedding ring. It’s not an expensive piece of jewelry because it’s only a simple gold band with a semi-precious stone. But with all the pieces of jewelry I have, that ring is the most precious for me.

Diamonds whatever size, color or kind will always be one of most desired gem stone in the world. Pure or nearly pure diamonds are transparent and colorless. I have one of those but I wouldn't mind getting one of the other colored diamonds. One of the ones I usually see on TV are Black Diamonds . I see a lot of Black Diamond Rings that I am really wanting one now maybe for Christmas, ehem! From what I have read, these diamonds are not really black rather they have a lot of dark inclusions that makes it look like black. I just think that the color black just make these diamonds classic. Aside from colorless and black diamonds, Blue Diamonds are also very popular now. Not too long ago, a blue diamond was sold for nearly $8 Million. All I can say is wow!! Blue diamonds have the blue hue color because of traces of boron in the stone’s crystal structure. The blue diamonds are probably that expensive because they are not that common. Red diamonds are also something to be desired for....
