48. The only diamonds I own are the ones in my engagement
ring and they were given to me by my mother after my grandmother's death in 1979. They were given to her by my grandfather when they got engaged after WWI, so I don't know if they're considered "blood diamonds" or not.

I'm an October baby and I adore opals. My parents gave me a beautiful opal ring for my 21st birthday (way back in 1974) but I lost it in 2002 and I haven't found another ring to replace it with since. I still miss wearing that ring every day. I was heartbroken when I lost it.

Mr. Wonderful bought me a beautiful set of opal earrings for our 25th wedding anniversary and my sister bought me a gorgeous opal pendant when she went to Australia in 2001, but I still miss my ring...

I also love emeralds and sapphires, but don't have any.
