A Girl's Best Friend

I know that most girls swoon over diamonds, but honestly, I'd say that my two favorite gemstones are opals and their less expensive cousin, opalite. A close runner up would be my pearls (what do you call pearls? Precious minerals?).
Just like diamonds they match everything. Not because they are colorless, but because their rainbow bits pick up whatever color you happen to be wearing.
Either way, skip the expensive stuff and check out this gorgeous opalite necklace from Etsy seller All Made With Love.

Opalite Necklace

My favorite part about these stones is how they seem to cast a warm glow from the inside. So flattering and ethereal.
