On a lovely sunny day....

[Sacha]

.........which gemstones do you prefer to wear that

a) you think look best in the sunshine and

b) also gives you that feel good factor?

 

[petpixie]

Imo you can't beat a diamond sparkling away for all it's worth in the sun.

 

[fluff]

Aww Sacha that's a hard question on a day like today. :sweat:

I suppose it has to be my either of my Demantoid Garnet rings which sparkle like mad in the sunshine and have amazing fire.

Need a cold drink now.

 

[the-valleygirl]

I am wearing Abalone shell earrings today.....makes me feel all summery

 

[longstandinggemfan]

Turquoise all the way -nothing more summery!!

 

[PandaBear]

I love wearing citrine or fire opal on a sunny day oh and diamonds

 

[gemcherub]

Diamonds, demantiod garnet or sphene for me x

 

[MissMagpie]

Opals look great in the sun - it brings out the play of colour. Especially Mexican jelly opal, if you have any...

Forgot that one! wonderful in the sun x

 

[Sacha]

Thank you all for your responses showing a varied and colourful selection. My choice is for diamonds and moissanite -
cos they go together so well....and Tanzanite as the sun seems to bring out its..... ummm....blueyness!

 

[Frazzled]

:wave: Everything looks better and sparkles in the sunshine, but diamonds have the edge for me:up:

 

[perdita]

Diamonds set in yellow gold for me!

I also think a really strongly coloured apatite looks lovely in the sun when your hands have a bit of a tan!


Oh, and sphene....and zircon........

 

[rebeccab]

ooh what a fab thread, for me diamonds, the way they sparkle and shimmer in the sun, also a bright flamingo topaz, so summery but also citrines, zircon, apatite and today my danburite is sparkling like mad, to be honest i cant make my mind up, i think all gemstones make me feel summery and happy when the sun is out, i cant pick a favourite

 

[Oops-a-daisy!]

White and coloured diamonds for me too. I'd forgotten about the jelly opals and how great they sparkle in the sunshine - thanks for reminding me Miss M. A star sapphire really comes to life with the sun out, so another favourite (except I only have one). However, for the most part I tend to wear turquoise/blues when it's hot, so I suppose I wear my paraiba tourmalines the most in the summer.

All my gemstones look better in the sunshine, it's a pity I don't! Lily white legs and shorts don't really cut it. Can someone pass me the fake tan please? :grin:

 

[Beading Belle]

All the gemstones look pretty in the sunshine. I do wear opals more just to see the colour play!

 

[Diamond Diva]

Well it just has to be diamonds for me too, they're even more beautiful in the sunshine, sparkling away you can't beat them ! I just love them, they make me smile :happy:

That's the silliest hat I've ever seen. Such a loud, brash display of wealth - very bad taste - not to mention off trend. :cheeky::mysmilie_505: xxxxxxx
