I think the P&P is always £4.95 irrespective of cost of item. It covers their packaging, the postage etc., and if you buy 10 items that weigh a ton then it's still the same. I guess you have to decide whether you would pay £7 for a shell bracelet because that's ultimately what it's costing...

This is where my head's at ............. I was expecting a wishy washy blue and this certainly isn't (which has made my decision very difficult)! I was expecting a heavier gold weight - which has disappointed me (the shank is almost but not quite, hollow). I love the overall look and it...

These ones are taken outside in natural daylight. Ignore the fact that the diamond looks off centre in the first photo, it's just the angle of the photo.

I promised to post photos and a review of my ring when it arrived so here goes! Review:- Pros: 1. The cutting is really gorgeous and the topaz performs well in all lighting conditions (inside with lights and outside in daylight) 2. The colour of the blue topaz is very very very lovely 3...

I completely agree with the flexibility of baskets. I have (she confesses) on more than one occasion put something into my basket and then seen something in the same show later that I have liked better so that goes in also. When we had flexibility I would always play fair and delete the...

Emza - thank you for sharing. It looks lovely - enjoy wearing it!

I heard Steve saying this also. So, let's look at it logically ........... if you phone up, you get a piece allocated and your card details are taken then and there. If you put an item into your basket you can't check it out UNTIL the piece has dropped to it's final price (otherwise an...

You've answered your own question! Why would he be selling these off for very little money if they were (a) rare (b) desired and (c) so high in value!? This gemstone is still being mined - what happens if tomorrow they suddenly find an enormous pocket or the yield trebles? You only have to...

Here are some and look at the prices they command for not particularly or well cut specimens! Typically they are a grey/lilac colour. Their rarity is because only a few stones have been found and some were mis-diagnosed as Spinel! So as you can see, comparing a Tourmaline to this gemstone is...

Yes but the posts have been removed and sent down to the Drop in the Ebay section!

It made sense to be here! Oh well! *shrugs*

I don't understand - where have the posts gone about the Paraiba Glenn Lehrer pendant on Ebay? Surely this can't be a forbidden subject since it was sold by GemsTV and has now appeared on Ebay for double the price??????? Gems have always said they don't mind who they sell to so ..................

What a wicked thing to do to a Paraiba Tourmaline! I love the overall design but drilling a PT to fit in a diamond????? NOOOOOOOO. It's an ok PT but I've seen better on the Lehrer website. Interestingly, open up the bigger link and look at photo 4. Would you expect to buy something for...

Will do and of course there will be photos also! It's interesting because I'm not a lover of amethyst OR topaz (in fact I'm a known hater of topaz) and I'm finding it really difficult to reconcile the prices of the rings with the stones themselves! If the amethyst is pale then I will...

Not yet Milly. I'm getting them next week.

Yes there's a maximum size. I think if you try to get around 640x480 or something like that, it works. If your photo is too huge, try copying into Paint (if you have it) then saving as a jpg file - that usually gets it small enough. Really looking forward to seeing your photos so please don't...

Even if it is cuprian it's still not going to command the high prices he was suggesting - and you only have to look at the reality for what he's selling it at to see that's true! In any event, I would want a lab report stating that the gems were cuprian if I were going to pay a premium but for...

OMG Don has just said that pink cuprian tourmaline is more rare than Russian Alexandrite??????? Sorry but I absolutely 100000% disagree. He's also saying it's similar to Taaffeite! No way. If pink cuprian is so rare, would he like to buy mine? They're all over 1ct AND they've got lab...

Well I've got quite a few so I guess that answers your question! Pink cuprian (i.e. tourmaline that has copper) isn't particularly rare. It's not in abundance either. Good pieces are lovely but not sure about the hype! Unfortunately this sounds like a lot of hot air for something that...

Coloured gemstones are classed as Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 as follows:- Type 1: Stones that are often virtually inclusion free. They are so abundant in this quality that even minor inclusions detract from their desirability. Some stones in this category are Aquamarine, Labradorite, Zircon...
