I too adore jewelry! My latest additions were a beautiful pink tourmaline & diamond ring and a tanzanite & diamond ring. My favorite are colored stones of all varieties! What is your birthstone? Mine is the yellow topaz or citrine. I also love rubies, emeralds, and pearls, peridots and green tourmaline as well as a few others!

I collect teddy bears. I have so many I have a storage building rented for them. Most are Disney's Pooh Bear. I collect Disney mugs and I have about 25 Disney coats and jackets. I collect cookbooks but I only have about 75 so far.

I have a pink tourmaline ring too but I didn't go for tanzanite because I have a big iolite ring and they look very similar. I love all stones I'm no snob. From snowflake obsidian to, botswana agate to opals, pearls and rubies they all have their own unique properties. I have a fire agate necklace which just mezerizes me. I also like BIG stones. I'm not interested in any 1 carat chips unless it is my birthstone which is diamond.
I also collect Merano glass vases. I would love, love to get a hold of a Chahouli but we aren't that rich unfortunately so I just have to go to the Columbus conservatory and drool on them. My friend said at her husbands christmas party they had a raffle for a Chahouli vase. I would have bought every ticket.

How neat!!! I too love the hand blown glass vases. Unfortunately when I moved and down-sized I had to sell my collection:( But the really neat thing is a neighbor of mine has a wonderful collection, and as she has it displayed in the windows of her sun porch I get to drool over it as I walk by! She has such a varied collection, it includes row upon row of everything imagineable! I could def. see how you would have bought every ticket to have won the vase:)
And I adore fire opals! About a year ago I purchased an orange sapphire set and love it, it reminds me alot of the fire opal!
