1. What stone is that?
It looks brown on my screen.

4. I could
And I might if he doesn't get it (but I think he will). I've fallen in love with it.

6. I put this on my wish list
(except I want yellow gold)



I don't know if I'm going to get it either. Mr. MG is skittish about buying jewelry. I could get it for myself for my birthday in a couple of weeks, though. :evilgrin:

I like your ring as well! Smoky quartz is cool, and I always like a mix of silver and gold in my jewelry--makes for a better balance of energies. :hi:

9. That's lovely -- is it an amethyst?
That's my birthstone. But he already bought me an amethyst a few years ago -- which I love. So now I want the quartz.

I hope Mr. TA gets it for you. Or maybe Santa will.

11. Yes it is
I like the energy of amethysts. (My birthstone is garnet, which is fine, but I'm drawn to amethysts.)

Thanks for the good wishes, but I just spoke to DH on the phone because he couldn't find my wish list on Amazon. Once he finally located it, he said, "But these are just books and DVDs!" I said, "There's a $200 ring in there!" and he said, "Well, we'll just skip over THAT!"

Harumph! Time to call on Santa indeed! :D

13. Funny, he says that all the time
I bought him a pillow that says "Humbug"--it has a gold cord for hanging, so I hang it on a hook over his office doorway. Silly Mr. MG, jewelry's for mamas who have been very good this year. And mamas will get her jewelry one way or another! :evilgrin:

8. I am worth every penny, in my humble opinion
But, actually, it's quite reasonably priced.

16. I've got my fingers crossed that Mrs. Sphits will remember me on Xmas this year with one of these:


Oh, please please please!!!

17. I like it!
You should check out these from JCPenny. On sale and some pretty ones in topaz that are very reasonable.

I bought these today but I'm not sure about the ring. I thought it kinda matched the bracelet, but I think it might look a little matronly and I might send it back when I see it. I hope it's a lot smaller than it looks.




I love gemstones though. I found this site that has some beautiful bracelets.

I love the seagrass one.

20. Frame it of course
Then point to it daily while nagging unmercifully for the real thing.
