As you say, its deliberate.

Anything blue gets described as "Paraiba colour" or "Paraiba-like", anything Orange or Pink gets described as "Padparadscha colour" or "Padparadscha-like", and everything has to be associated with either 'Kashmir', 'Ceylon' or 'Burma'.

We've had 3+ years of god knows how many stones being called 'Jadeite' - from Maw-Sit-Sit, to Serpentine, to Quartzite.

Their latest favourite line is calling everything "Museum grade" or "this should be in a museum".

Oh, and Jess Foley has been describing things as being similar to that famous stone, 'Paraiba Jade'............ Absolutely.

Oh, and then there's the only that REALLY annoys me. "It has the same crystal structure as a Diamond" - deliberately implying that it must be as hard then.

In fact, even that is misleading because Diamonds are hard in terms of nothing being able to scratch them - but they're actually quite brittle. Hit it with something hard, and it'll smash into dust.

I'm sure people think that because Diamonds are classed as being 'the hardest material', they're unbreakable. In reality, they're very brittle.
These silly new presenters think that the more words they throw into the mix the more impressive they think they sound when in fact they don’t pronounce many words properly, and by talking too much they actually show how little they know, were they hired because they were prepared to take a lesser salary than the old hands? Incidentally, the old cronies aren’t much better but at least over the years they’ve honed their craft to some extent, well some of them have, but not Charlie Brook. QVC is a complete shambles! Whose responsibility is it to hire and fire? There’s something really wrong going on somewhere.
 
Just because I can't be bothered to start another post. Today, 'Visage' Day. Adina looks like she's still got her bed clothes on. Very slouchy, compared to what she usually wears, even if they are boring clothes :p And Kati looks like she's modelling jewellery for DT.
 
You heard it here first folks! Adina has announced secret industry gossip...

She has yellow diamonds later and Graff are really plugging them, with a yellow diamond collection. But the gossip is...the Graff collection includes yellow sapphires because - wait for it - Adina says "they don't have enough yellow diamonds". Well, slap my face and call me Roger.
