Gems

I've had the day off as my Mum was in London and we spent a lovely afternoon at the V&A. There were lots of pictures to choose from this evening but I loved this display of rings.

"This collection of gemstones, set in gold rings, was bequeathed to the V&A in 1869 by the noted collector the Reverend Chauncy Hare Toweshead. The display shows the stones grouped according to their species." The arrows you can see in the picture show where the groupings start.

We watched 'The Help' this evening which is a very powerful film and I would recommend it.
