    Since people are asking I thought I’d pin this; there’s a written version of this tier list as well as the alloy tier list in the appendix of my book if you want to print it out or keep it as a reference. It’s free. Link in description :)

    While most dont like how soft Aquamarine blue is, Im a fan of the faintness of them. I think it pairs really well with a gold ring and pale skin tone

    As someone with zero interest in wearing any kind of jewelry: this channel is fascinating to watch.

    As stone setter with 43 years on the bench, I agree with your video 100 %.

    I love the sapphire crystal covering my watch face. For me, the tiniest scratch might as well be a giant crack. &nbsp;<br>It had many a glancing blows against a brick wall and it&apos;s still flawless. &nbsp;GOD tier gem indeed.

    got a red garnet as my engagement ring gem and I couldn&apos;t be happier &lt;3 I absolutely loathe diamonds so thank you for pointing out that they&apos;re actually just expensive

    I wanted an emerald engagement ring but my partner persuaded me into getting green sapphire. That was the best decision. The stone looks beautiful and has stood the test of time.

    This video reminded me of the moonstone ring my mother had. It was made entirely of moonstone. As a kid I was mesmerized by it, hoarded it for myself and played with it all the time. One time it slipped out of my hand on the floor tile... and pretty much turned into dust. I was completely devastated and thought mom will kill me, but I guess she saw how heartbroken I was and didn&apos;t scold me a lot. I still feel bad because of it... it was such a beautiful ring.
