    haha…..perfect article to read after passing by a shop selling gems yesterday and my hubby commenting, who buys those?!? haha… Not knowing much about gems but knowing a lot of people collecting them for different reasons, I can’t explain to him that much. Well, you know what our topic before bedtime would be tonight=)

  11. Docdivatraveller says:

    I had been advised emarald during childhood for increasing concentration and memory. My mom used to load me up with gemstones. You name it, I had it on my fingers. And now, I have taken all of them out and wear only diamonds.

  12. Vasumathi says:

    I am not very fond of gold and stone jewellery. Prefer silver and costume jewellery. I had rings of Ruby and Aquamarine as they were supposed to be lucky for me. I gave up wearing them after some years though. But I liked reading your post….very informative.

  13. Ritu Bindra says:

    Your post was quite informative. I have seen emeralds work for a few people. There is apparently a whole science behind it with usage and all. I haven’t tried them though.

  14. Noor Anand Chawla says:

    What an interesting post! Sapphires can be unlucky though so it’s said one should sleep with it under their pillow at night before actually buying it. If you have nightmares, it means it’s not right for you.
