I can't give you chapter and verse BUT let me tell you that for Steve, John, Barry and (for some part) Sarah to give up most of their day and go through a 3 page feedback document line by line, taking notes with Steve telling people to action (certain items), I DO have faith that some of the...

I met with Steve, Sarah, John Bennett and Barry Kirley on Monday and spent an entire afternoon talking through issues with them (some that have been mentioned in this thread). Rest assured that they WILL be doing something about the lighting and various other issues BUT these will take time...

Welcome to the world of gems! Ok, let's see if I can answer some of your questions ............. 1. Does it matter if it's GemsTV or Gems Extra - no! 2. Can you return items? Yes, they all come with a tag (a bit like a price tag), so long as you don't remove the tag, the item is...

Thank you for the link Sacha. I hadn't found that website and will go and have a look. I actually bought some sensational findings from a lady on Ebay - got tons of really pretty clasps for only a few quid so will be buying more I think! TOWIE = the only way is Essex - dreadful reality...

I know Arge - I don't do things by halves do I? I'm really enjoying it. Hopefully I'll get better 'cos these are a bit rough. I think I'm better when I'm copying a design but I'm really having a good time doing it! Got a very large order on it's way (ouch for my c/card) so I think I'll be...

Arge I agree about the "Chinese Jade" and "shell" pearl but at least they put it in quote marks or tell you it's reconstituted. I have no intention of selling mine on so this isn't a worry for me but I understand your concerns. BTW I like Carol marginally better on this channel BUT she talks...

Okay, I can't resist - here are my "pieces"! Very basic and hopefully I'll progress ............... BTW I'm onto my next necklace with wire and macrame using beading wire! lol

I've made 3 necklaces and 1 bracelet (in a week), shopped till I've dropped and have sore fingers and eyes! My wire work with a gizmo is "interesting" and I've yet to perfect the technique but I'm dreaming about beading/threading/wiring etc. My name is Meeshoo and Lucy has made me an addict!

I am totally into Jewellery Maker at the moment - new addiction! I never liked Lucy on the Gems channels but OMG she is superb on JM. Really really lovely. To me, she's like the Angeline equivalent on Gems ie she can sell me anything! Consequently, I'm now surrounded by beads, thread, wire...

There's no reason why you couldn't wear 9k next to 18k gold. It takes many years of constant wear for the 9k to affect the 18k. However, you can buy gold plated ones very cheaply from Ebay...

Angeline has a lot to answer for because I always buy when she's on! She saved me a fortune when she went on maternity leave! Let's hope she gets preggers again soon :clapping: Okay, first one ............. I don't know why but I have a "thing" about flower designs. I also like brown...

I am delighted to tell you that Gemcherub has given birth to a precious and beautiful little boy! Morgan arrived at 13.07pm on 19th April weighing a dinky 6lbs 15oz. Mum, Dad and baby Morgan are all well and enjoying their first few days as a family. Please join me in sending heartfelt...

This thread should help: http://forum.shoppingtelly.com/forum/showthread.php?27150-Poor-Quality-Diamonds Look at the attached thumbnail that Sacha provided. From experience (and this may vary from piece to piece) A3 equates to I1 and I2 clarity diamonds and a warmish colour (some look cloudy...

No! The internet is a fantastic place for people to moan! So, you're probably seeing a disproportionate number of negative reviews compared to actual sales. Having said that, the way that GemsTV keep their costs down is by cutting down on gram weight of shanks. The price of gold and silver...

OMG has Ian Gardner disappeared as well? Crikey I'm really out of touch! I do like ickle Jim Brooman! I'll never forget when he was trying to count backwards from 20 or so and completely messed it up. It was hilarious and he ended up in stitches laughing at himself.

Yes that's him! Years ago he was the Head Presenter over at TJC. He was with them for years.

Well I've never ever watched Ideal World or Jewellery Vault so I must remember her from TJC but that must have been ages ago. BTW has anybody else noticed that Lee is on GemsTV now? It's probably old news and he's probably been on there for years but I only noticed him the other day. I've...

I know her name? Who is she? Was she with GemsTV before? Anyway, I don't really care but PLEASE WILL SHE NOT SHOUT and spout rubbish about "speaking to the producer to see what she can do for us!" Ugh, please! I've turned over because her internal volume control is clearly not working...

Seriously, that woman could sell me anything! I love Angeline! She's my favourite presenter (especially when she gets the giggles)! I managed to catch her first show back (thanks Sacha for reminding me) and it was so sweet that she said how nervous she was and that she had to really hold...

Sacha, I agree with all your post except the bit about close ups. For me, close ups are of paramount importance because you can get a real "feel" for the gem. What you can't get and I suspect is what is frustrating you, is the real life perspective? The light box is supposed to replicate...
