Or is there?
"Around the world and throughout the ages, people have noticed and appreciated the beauty of gemstones, often assigning these gems special powers."
"Over time, gems with special colors became associated with the twelve signs of the zodiac, which correspond roughly with the months of the year." There are various lists: modern, zodiac, arabic and roman to name a few, all of which associate a month or a star sign with a stone that brings out the best in that month, a certain strength or maybe energy?
In any case, I have always been in love with sapphires and diamonds.. both taurean birthstones. (ok diamonds happen to be an April gem, but we all know diamonds work all year round xD)
I find it fascinating how some gems have an attraction to certain people.. an allure almost that can go unnoticed by others.
What do you guys think?
- to eternal diamonds xx

Anon: glad to have u as a reader :) but as I mentioned there are various lists. The modern one (shown here) and the traditional, arabic, roman etc. Diamonds are april stones in the modern list whilst sapphires are taurean stones in other lists :)
Mi: yeah look it up xD
I'm a Sapphire. I remember when choosing my class ring I saw this list. But I chose Ruby for my ring instead of Sapphire.
Oh I'm a saphire too! I love them but I love diamonds more.. I also love turquoise which is either a september or a virgo stone.. not sure..
wow, its sapphire galore here! XD
I love sapphires and diamonds together too.... Gorgeous post, darling! That first pic is stunning!
