Hey hey!!! You guys are hurting my feelings!

Last fall I tried to collect pics of "natural" settings for my gemstones. Among them was this: an alex with ''colorchange'' wine grapes.

Maybe it''s my monitor but they look like regular green grapes to me, albeit with a few blemishes.

Thanks flopkins!

I guess I''d better confess here....that picture was my feeble attempt to be "artistic". While they are indeed wine grapes (I''m not sure what varietal) I did ''gloss them up'' a bit with cooking oil before I took the picture....

It''s a vintage ring, c. 1920-30, that I got on a TV show (

). The 1.25ct alexandrite I had mounted in it later...

Widget you did great on the picture and the ring.I would have never thought of "glossing" them up.
