I like jade.
But I have a soft spot for emeralds and star sapphires.
Diamonds work very well as accent stones.

My wife likes rubies. I've told here on many occasions that I will buy her all the rubies she likes, but if she wants a diamond, she can buy it herself because I will not support De Beers' world-wide monopoly.

The gemstones you like are actually fairly rare and a much better investment than diamonds where the cut and the setting are 90% of the value.
