As the Internet Retailer points out, Amazon is now selling loose diamonds. Finally, our long wait is over! Honestly though, would you buy a diamond from a book shop? Seems a little weird to me.

Yesterday Christie's auctioned a huge range of beautiful large carat jewels. Amongst them was the incredible 50 carat Graff diamond ring. Estimated to be worth between 3 and 4 million dollars, the ring is offered by Laurence Graff who has also handled such famous pieces as the Idol's Eye and the Hope of Africa.

Diamonds weren't the only pieces to steal the show. Also on offer was a flawless 8 carat Burmese ruby. It is considered to be a gem of much importance by Rahul Kadakia, head of the Jewellery Department of Christie's.

There's one auction I would have loved to attend!

Opals are undoubtedly my favourite gemstone because of their variety and their beauty. However, the terminology used to describe them can be confusing at best! Jill's Jewelry explains the differences.

As Gilbert over at the Diamond Blog pointed out, astronomers have discovered something wonderful about our universe. Apparently there could be entire planets out there covered with a thick layer of diamonds.

I don't think De Beers would be impressed with that concept.

I've always been a sucker for purple. When it comes to purple gems though most people think of amethyst . Don't get me wrong - amethysts are lovely stones. However, there are a range of other purple gems. The ring shown here has a tanzanite as the central stone - you can see the colour just stands out so much more than the purple of an amethyst.

If you're into purple gems you might want to look into tanzanite
, iolite
, or even jade. Break out of the amethyst world you live in.

Two diamonds worth about $14 million have walked out the door of the Louvre museum. One was a 47 carat white diamond, the other a rare 15.75 carat blue diamond.

For some reason, no alarm system or cameras were in use in the area where the two diamonds were being displayed. The diamonds were part of an antiques and jewelry show. The show's president, Christian Deydie said "There was a little incident...".

I don't know about you, but over 60 carats of diamonds vanishing occurs to me as more than a little incident. It has been alledged that the two Chopard employees stepped away from their booth for 15 minutes - an allegation which has been denied by the co-chairwoman of Chopard. However, I find it quite hard to believe, had the employees been at the stand, that someone could just remove two huge diamonds from a display case without being noticed.

Then again, why choose to hold an exhibition that is designed to show off the best, rarest and most expensive gems in the world in a place that doesn't seem to have the best security? No cameras, no alarm system - it doesn't sound like an ideal location for small, easily portable and incredibly expensive items.

For better or worse there are a number of traditions regarding "birthstones". September's stone is sapphire. Now, the belief originally stemmed from the idea that each birthstone had a specific virtue that would be bestowed upon anyone born within the stone's month.

Nowdays, of course, its more about personal preference on what you believe looks good than anything else. The funny thing is though, that there are so many different traditions on what birthstone belongs to each month that you can pretty much just choose whatever you want and say its your birthstone.
