Don’t Like Your Birthstone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re Not Alone!<\/h2>\n

\nNot everybody has a Wonderful Beautiful Birthstone<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nIn fact, probably half the Gemstones on the Market are Colors that People Dislike<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nSome people don’t like Lime-Green<\/strong>. Others aren’t a “Lemon Yellow<\/strong>” Person, and some are NOT Passionate about Pearls!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Me, I don’t like Opals!<\/h2>\n

\nLet me rephrase <\/strong>that, I like Opals<\/a>\"\" (like this Men’s Created Opal Band<\/a> is Kick Ass Cool<\/strong>), just NOT as a Birthstone for me<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

\nAnd Guess What?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is my Birthday!<\/h2>\n

\nYAH!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThankfully I’m a Male<\/strong>, because Women Very Rarely Buy Opals (the Official Birthstone for October<\/strong>) for Men. <\/p>\n

Plus, the Alternative Birthstone<\/strong> for October is Pink Tourmaline<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

\nNot Any Better… For Men!<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHEW!<\/h2>\n

\nMost Men Generally don’t get Jewelry for Bday Presents Anyway, unless it’s a Watch<\/a>\"\", Pendant<\/a>\"\", Bracelet<\/a>\"\", or Swiss Army Knife<\/a>\"\" (is that Jewelry?<\/strong>)…<\/p>\n

\nLadies though, I feel Sorry for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBecause one of the “Default<\/strong>” Gifts for a Women on her Birthday is the Dreaded “Birthstone<\/strong>” Gift.<\/p>\n

\nNow if you have a Birthstone that you LOVE<\/strong>, by all means, bring it on (See the Entire Birthstone List HERE!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\nBut sadly, you’re Stuck with whatever Month you were Born in<\/strong>, and every Jewelry Store will Stock tons of that Color… And Many of these Stones are Ugly, Low-Quality Gems that Aren’t Very Appealing! Plus, they’re Cheap because they’re a Present!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Even Worse!<\/h2>\n

\nThat way, all those Men who come into the Store, that have no idea<\/strong> what to get you, will Follow the Salesperson’s Lead<\/strong> right to the Birthstone Case… They’re Buying you another Birthstone Ring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nJOY!<\/strong><\/p>\n

So What Do You Do?<\/h2>\n

\nGrin and Bear it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhat else?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nYou might be able to Swap out the Stone<\/strong> for something Prettier. You might also be able to Exchange it or Return it<\/strong>, but then, you’ll have to Ask for the Receipt<\/strong> and Try Not to Hurt his Feelings<\/strong> at the same time. :( (And then you know what happens… No More Jewelry Gifts For You!!!!<\/strong> EVER!<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Sigh!<\/h2>\n

\nSeems like the only real thing to do is to Grow Fond of that Color<\/strong>, try to like it, or Wear it Once and Hide it in the back of your Jewelry Box<\/strong> (You know you do this).<\/p>\n

\nBecause Birthdays are all about Birthstones<\/strong>, Love them or Hate them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nIf you’re really Lucky<\/strong>, you’ll be born in April <\/strong>and have DIAMONDS as a Birthstone!<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

YES!<\/h2>\n

\nBut for the Rest of us, it’s a Gemstone that will Haunt us for Life!<\/strong><\/p>\n

OPALS?<\/h2>\n

\nOh No!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThis Birthday <\/strong>I Want a Furbacca<\/a> and a Portable Party Speaker Disco Light<\/a>!<\/p>\n

\n\"Fun<\/p>\n

\nHA!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Birthday to ME!<\/h2>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
