You don't often see Tanzanite in a princess cut which is probably why this was having so much hype. To be honest, I wonder when the hype around this gemstone will go away. You would have thought that saying for the past 15 years that the gemstone was only going to last for 10 years would get a...

PJ you're right of course. If you take a dull, cloudy, grey diamond and put it under bright white lights it sparkles like mad. Take it out of that environment and you see it for the fish tank gravel it really it! The same with coloured stones. If you shine a bright light on them they look...

It's not the sets though, it's the lighting. I do hope that they sort that out at the same time. Let's hope so!

Sacha I have to agree that the changes are not for the better. I know it takes time to get used to new graphics etc but if you're watching online I absolutely HATE the large default screen size and I immediately make it small again! Trying to find anything on the website is problematic AND...

Excuse me ladies but this thread is worthless without photos! :rock: *Shameless way for asking for photos*!

I'm really struggling when watching GemsTV at the moment because of the lighting. Has anybody else noticed how everything (and I don't mean the graphics) look overly pink and awash with bright colours - and when you see the presenter from afar, the bright white light shining on their hand is...

Do you just get a really basic DVD or do you get a good one Arge? I guess I'm interested in the basic beading one - not really any of the others - so can I request which one????

Oh Sacha, no I didn't get a DVD! I wonder why not. It was my first order with JM so I suppose I should have? I was desperately upset when I broke my haematite necklace as I dropped it and two links actually shattered. I was surprised because I hadn't realised it would do that (should have...

Wow Arge - thanks very much for the link to that website. It's got some great tutorials! I think I've figured out the necklace design and you have to use 4 (I think) strands of beading wire - I'll let you know if I manage to do it - if I don't post for a few weeks, my hands will be knotted...

The findings arrived today and I've re-threaded onto the silver wire and (really badly) put on a couple of crimps and the clasp. It's such a lovely fun summer necklace and I love that my daughter made it - so all I need is some sun now to wear it!!!

Ok - never one to shy away from a challenge, I've decided to have a go at making a necklace! I recently broke my favourite haematite necklace so need something black. Have decided that I'll use either Obsidian or Haematite and mix with silver (pearls or something) and want to make the twisty...

Thank you so much Glitterbug for taking the time to make suggestions. Also a big thank you to the lovely forum member who PM'd me with an offer to send me all the "bits" needed for the project. As it happened, I've ordered things from Jewellery Maker that I hope will do the job - although...

Lovely jewellery makers - please can you help? For Mother's Day, my 8 year old daughter made me the most beautiful wooden beaded necklace that will look wonderful in summer. However, she's threaded it on some purple stretchy thin nylon thread of some kind (the sort that you get in cheaper...

Right - just phoned. Apparently they're experiencing IT issues and some people can log in and bid, others can't. The problem won't be resolved until Monday!!!! For a 7 day a week business, not having a proportion of your customers able to bid over a weekend seems ludicrous to me! If it were...

Oh blimey - thank you! I'll give them a call now!

Anybody else experiencing this? Last night I tried to bid on something but it said I had to log in. I logged in and went back to the auctions to see "please log in to bid" and basically I kept going round and round in a loop! I gave up and switched off thinking that today it would be ok...

Just popped on to have a look. The graphics are incredibly intrusive and dominate the screen now. Surely the product should take centre stage and be the focus? Rod was just standing at a table to present a star buy and you could see the top half of him but the actual product he was...

Decision made. Today it went back. I can't justify the cost and also the underside being wonky would annoy me I think. So on that basis it had to go back. I wonder how many other people may feel the same about the cost? It's a shame because I did love it but the £300 just couldn't be justified...

Frazzled - interestingly, the only thing that is a negative for me is the price! The goldweight I can "sort of" forgive! If the price were right I would forgive it completely! I guess I was surprised that somebody who obviously adores his work and sees it as art, is willing to compromise on a...

Sue I much prefer honest opinions you know that! I understand your views entirely. The height doesn't bother me because I like big huge rings! However I do take your point on the contrived bit. Strangely I find the fact that he could drill a hole in a Paraiba Tourmaline abhorrent! In a...
