I love semiprecious stone jewelry. Here is some of my collection:
-an antique coral necklace that was purchased in 1820 by an ancestor of mine and has been passed down ever since
-a moonstone ring and bracelet. Not a set, but they go well together.
-garnet? Not entirely sure what the stone is. My grandfather made the earrings.
-a bunch of turquoise. My grandfather also made one of the rings.
-amythest earrings. They look much better in real life.
Love seeing everyone else's pics!

Here are some of my Semi precious gemstone jewelry. I tend to buy what I like & I like big, bold unusual pieces that you won't see on everybody else! 
In the bracelet box, on the left are gemstone bangles. From top to bottom are Aquamarine, Citrine, Blue Topaz, Garnet, Peridot, Amethyst, & Smoky Quartz.
On the right, top to bottom are Marcasite & Garnet vintage link bracelet, Mookite/ baroque Pearl/ Citrine/ Garnet, very chunky Blue Quartz, & lastly, Prasiolite (Green Amethyst), Blue Topaz, & Rose de France Amethyst. All are in Sterling Silver.
The last picture is of a cuff bracelet given to me by a friend many years ago. It's Amethyst with multi gemstones set in Sterling Silver. This was made in India.

Crosso.....this is for you. Here is what I have in Blue Rainbow Moonstone. The pendant stone does have a crack but when sunlight hits this, it just lights up!
Also, some of the random large statement necklaces I have. Everything is set in Sterling Silver. White Topaz & Onyx, all White Topaz, & White Topaz & Tanzanite. I also have one in Blue Topaz.

Here are a few items my husband got for me when he was stationed in Afghanistan. Lapis Lazuli heart pendant & earrrings. He bought the pendant first but couldn't find earrings to match so he bought these dangles. The Tiger Eye pendant he just liked & got it for me. They're set in Sterling Silver.
The Garnet suite he also bought in Afghanistan. It's also set in Sterling Silver. The ring is small & I have to wear it on my pinky.

Love!
I'm trying to start a brooch/pin thread in the jewelry box.. here's the one that also qualifies for here.
Lots of tarnish on the gold and the seller advertised it as 14k, but after I spent some time cleaning it up, I'm pretty sure the hallmark says 750. It's so cute!

left arm today... took a closeup pic of my pietersite bangle to show the little heart shape on it. too bad i couldnt capture the translucent and transparent bits as well.
That's a great bracelet! I love the heart!! Looks wonderful with your carved Jade!
Hi CD, sorry for the so late reply! I love all these, but especially the moonstone bracelet and the white topaz/onyx! They are all beautiful and so dramatic!
Thanks, Crosso. I've had the Moonstone & the necklaces for years. Every so often, I will take them out & show them some love. As a June Baby, Moonstone is one of my birthstones.
