<![CDATA[I was browsing your site about Alexandrite stones. 30yes ago I was in Greece and purchased two rings beautiful mounted in 18k gold spiral basket/cage. I was told they were Alexandrite stones but that was irrevelant at the time. I just liked the way they changed in color. Mine are VERY similar to the one above. the pear is around 8cts and the oblong around 9cts. Had then looked at 25yrs ago but this guy wasn't really sure if they were Alexandrite or not. They were apprased around $8-900.00 then. I would liked to have them apprased again but do not know any one reputable here in Albuquerque,NM ]]>
