Emerald, you just click on the 'thumbs up' icon near the bottom right-hand corner of the post in question.

It's true that there's an old myth about opals being 'unlucky'. The best explanation I have heard of this is that opal is quite a fragile stone which can be prone to crack but can also command high prices, and obviously it is very bad luck if your expensive piece of jewellery breaks. I'm not...

Love this - How pretty!

Not tempted (yet), but they are rather lovely!

Thank you so much for the recommendation for Outwork. (I think I have used them once and didn't have a problem.) I'll make sure I always go to them in future. (I need to have my Gems TV rainbow sapphire bracelet shortened, which will mean removing individual links so as to preserve the colour...

If you were thinking of sending anything to KB Jewellers, whom Rocks & Co recommend for repairs--DON'T! I recently sent them for repair a necklace and a braclet from Rocks & Co which had become damaged. The necklace is a complicated shape and slightly asymmetrical, and so I tied a piece of...

Hmmm, I'd long suspected that the Uruguayan amethyst was just amethyst - it ought to be possible to get reasonably saturated amethyst for a very modest price - and the Estrellita quartz was bascially just white quartz. BUT the lavender quartz is special and different, and their rainbow...

Thanks, Meesh. I noticed that they have something called 'lavender crystal quartz' on TJC, but that is a coated gem, and the lavender quartz on Rocks & Co is NOT coated (and it looks very different too - the Rocks & Co lavender quartz is a much paler colour and has internal opalescence, like...

...Lavender quartz. I can't believe I haven't bought any until now - it's absolutely beautiful! It has a kind of opalescent sheen, combined with a beautiful lilac colour that is really exceptional, and it's quite unlike any other gemstone (and nothing at all like amethyst, in case anyone was...

Oh, dear! Barry is one of my all-time favourite presenters... if you're reading this, Barry and Steve, please reconsider! We want Barry on our screens.

I don't spend much time around here these days, so I've only just caught up with this... For some reason, I'm rather sorry that the 'Rocks TV' brand is going. Completely irrational, I know, but Rocks TV was fun and friendly while it lasted. I suppose these means that any idea of the chat room...

How bizarre!!! Computers are funny things... I can only suggest you contact JB. Whatever he did to fix my tracking e-mails, evidently broke yours...

Hats off to John Bennett! I e-mailed him to point out that the tracking link in the dispatch e-mails wasn't working, and he has fixed it. So now if you click where indicated in the e-mail, you will be able to track your parcel on the DPD website automatically (which is useful because they tell...

And d'you know what? Lucy is a great presenter on Jewellery Maker! I think because it is not a falling auction channel, the whole atmosphre is calmer. Despite frequent reminders that things will sell out soon, everything happens at a much more measured pace. I'm sure it is the 'buy now, buy...

I want to track a parcel from Coloured Rocks on the DPD website. I've remembered that there's something unobvious about this, but I can't remember what it was! I've got the long number from Live Help(as it wasn't provided in the e-mail) , but is this the Parcel Number or the Consignment Number...

There is one obvious connection between being a barrister and selling bling on the telly - they have to have the gift of the gab! I should think working on shopping telly would be a good deal less stressful than standing in a courtroom, but it must get b-o-r-i-n-g after a while. After all...

Old stock, I think... they sold silver when the first stated, but then dropped it. The German sister channel, juwelo.tv, sells lots of silver (at quite high prices). It just depends where the market is, I suppose!

Thanks, jacqualina - but no need to worry! There's only SO much time a person can spend on a shopping telly forum before being, well, distracted by the rest of life! So don't be surprised if you don't see me around for a while, although I'll still be popping back from time to time! You never...

I haven't been around for a while so I've only just caught up with this, but this is GREAT news. I've been hoping this would come!
