Sapphires and some opals. Did you know it is bad luck to wear opal if it is not your birthstone? My mom is an opal. I am a sapphire.

opals are only bad luck if you buy them for yourself and they aren't your month's gemstone...they must be a gift if they aren't your birthstone... i like diamonds and emeralds. big ones! but i have a beautiful alexandrite ring and two great tanzanite and diamond rings... and i like sapphires and rubies, too.

Opal since it's my birthstone. I have a blue opal ring but need to get the setting repaired. I am not a big gem fan so it's the only one I like. I had thought that pearls were also unlucky, bringing sadness and tears.

Good morning and Happy Monday everyone! Hmm...so it's bad luck to wear opals if they're not your birthstone? I sure wish I'd have known this years ago! But...this leads me to a good topic. Superstitions. I don't know if any of you watched Grey's Anatomy, but it was all about superstitions last night. The whole "step on a crack...break your mother's back" kinda thing. I found this LINK that lists several superstitions and old wives tales. Some of them are pretty funny! So...today's question is: Do you believe in any superstitions? I do make a wish on birthday candles. I believe that 4 leaf clovers bring good luck. I toss salt over my shoulder if I spill it. I say "God Bless You" if someone sneezes. I do a few more too, but I don't want ya all to think I'm nuts.

I really don't believe in superstitions, but I can't leave a rocking chair rocking. I make wishes on birthday candles and say "God bless you" too.

You had better not utter the words "shut out" if my goalie has a shut out going. You do that, and I'll bite your butt! I, on the other hand, have no qualms with saying, "Hey! He's got a shut out going." about the opposing goaltender. And my girls know that I had better not catch them singing, "Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow."

NO, I welcome the black cat that crosses my path, as long as it safely makes it across the road! I do say "God Bless" for sneezes, but as a goodwill gesture, and I do make wishes on birthday candles, but more as an affirmation of my future than believing it will magically come true.

No belief in superstitions. Yes to making a wish before blowing out birthday candles and saying "God Bless You". In past history, didn't people say "God Bless You" because they believed the devil could enter the stopped heart during a sneeze? I think the candles and the "God Bless You" today are simply custom, not superstition.

I say "God Bless You" when someone sneezes, and yeah I make wishes on birthday candles and wayward eyelashes, but other that that...no.
