7. Read this text and retell it. At the Jeweller's*

Our Mum is going to celebrate her 70^th anniversary. And we, her nearest and dearest, have decided to present her something unusual for the jubilee. After a long discussion we agreed to buy some jewellery and to send her to St. Petersburg – the city of her youth (of course with a chaperon). Settling this we went to the jeweller's. As for me I was dazzled. A lot of different brooches, pendants, rings, earrings, chains, strings of pearl beads and so on were put in their velvet nests. We didn't look at silver things – they are better for young girls but mainly pay attention to gemstones mounted in gold. We asked to have a look at several rings and earrings with diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. They were beautiful but we were searching for something special. We remembered the gem of our mum was ruby and asked a sales-girl to show us a ring and earrings with it. She opened one box and we saw a wonderful set – earrings, a bracelet and a ring. And the size of the ring was right. The set was marvellous! The rubies were of clear colour and gold was of high quality. We were very glad. My relatives left me after purchasing and I began to look at silver things for my two daughters. At last I bought a silver bangle and a silver ring with a pearl for one and a thin silver chain and a ring with a moonstone for the other. For myself I found an elegant coral string of beads. I was glad with my purchases too.

What gemstones do you know? Can you name them? What is your favourite one?
