http://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/ProductDetail.aspx?StockCode=856401 Here's the link for your item. If you paid £10 for these then I think it's fair to assume they wouldn't be natural pearls ALTHOUGH I understand that the description should have been clear that these were shell pearls...

Ok, first off, never look at diamonds through a plastic bag - they generally don't sparkle and look dull and lifeless and are often better out of the bag. However, this seems to be the opposite in your case. No, diamonds can't get browner or lack sparkle. However, they can appear worse if...

Imitation pearls have been on the market for years. Do you have the item number or the link to the item you bought please? I'm wondering if it says anything in the details that may help. If it was sold as "[place name] pearls" it could be an imitation. You may find this interesting...

:giggle: Never mind the bull - why do you have to be a size 18 to wear it?

Interesting but the prices were sky high. Not sure they were worth the money but hey, if somebody wants something unusual then some of the designs were nice.

That's because they are not in plentiful supply Anne. The best Siberians actually rival Colombians but you seldom see them for sale - or even commented on! Personally, I'd prefer a Colombian or a Siberian over a Zambian but that's based on colour preference.

Jasper - my apologies - of course this should say Mybuffy!

Hi Milly There's a whole thread on Emerald buying somewhere - can somebody dig it out for Milly please? It may have been in the TJC section of the forum. In the meantime however ............. 1. Colombian Emeralds are considered the best. There are good and bad Colombian Emeralds (just...

From my point of view this is an unbiased opinion of GemsTV and comes from one who has spent more than I care to think with them but am not now such an avid buyer:- 1. GemsTV of old (5 years ago), brought some fabulous quality, wonderful gemstones to the wider audience/market that, as Wireless...

............ and me! Sssssssh she may be listening!

I totally agree Loobi. It needs clarity - which is lacking. Unfortunately the price pledge has always been one that's been blurred at the edges - and I go back years with this. Even when Steve A was around, the sales and price pledge (although it was called something different then but for...

Wise words indeed.

:mysmilie_478: Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Milessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. You'll be sorely missed

I'll be honest about this - if I go into John Lewis and buy an item, I wouldn't expect them to price promise that item if it then went into the sale at a later date. I do agree that GemsTV needs to be more explicit and clear about policies which would eradicate the confusion!

Mybuffy - if you collect gems and seriously know what you're doing you wouldn't be using the incorrect terminology that you have. You also wouldn't (albeit obliquely) be praising GemsTV's for grading their diamonds! OR Be saying that their prices for "quality" gemstones is "excellent"...

Are they selling this in jewellery? It's an incredibly soft stone and REALLY not durable. I'm light on my rings and I'll set most things but I shy away from setting my fluorites! Like all colour shift gemstones, there are good and bad ones. Good ones show a decent distinction between the...

Ah .... gate i.e. do not pronounce the "a" like "a, b, c". It's a softer sound. Not A-gate like A-fence.

I'm not shocked to read this. It's been going on for ages AND it's across all the jewellery channels. GemsTV definitely had this policy in the past (no idea if they still do). I think that some people constantly order lots of stuff and never keep anything. I guess that at some point the...

I just simply don't care any more. Never thought I'd say that.

Brazilian Alex is famed for it's blue/green daylight colour BUT as others have said, this doesn't mean that the colour change will be good. The value (and how to tell good quality Alex) is mostly in the colour change. Of course, size and clarity pay a part but first and foremost it's the...
