I’ve learned a lot from the gem enthusiasts on this site on what to do when buying. For example I ALWAYS look up stones on other sites and on gem information sites now before buying. Adina was gushing and babbling the other night about the rarest stone in the world she said called shattuckite...

Thank you so much . It’s a real minefield for people without much knowledge And for myself I don’t like to spend hard earned money on worthless things Who does. But I do like a bargain.

I know there are people on this thread who know a lot more about gemstones than I do. What do you think of Petroke Kunzite. Is it likely to be treated and what treatments are used. Would be very grateful for your views as I won one for good price on TJC auctions but as usual no mention of...

Has anyone noticed that sometimes they have 2 different gold weights for the same item. I have mailed them about this a few times. Last time was a diamond necklace with one weight on screen and another on web page. They responded that they would look into it and get back to me. Needless to say...

Seemed excessive to me too. Wondered if it was someone who had just lost confidence in the hype and wanted to return them all but I suppose she’d have to produce proof before they’d entertain the idea. There was no response from them.

Wonder did anyone see the Gemporia review on trust pilot where a customer bought what was sold as type A jadeite and when she had it appraised was told it was type B.

I think we are making a mistake to think of this channel as the channel we’ve shopped with for years. Really it’s a completely new entity with just the same name. It’s becoming obvious that from now on the vast majority if not all their offerings will be stuff from China that can be bought on...

I am now looking for replacement sites and would welcome any pointers. I do buy from TJC but they are a bit limited. A few names would be very welcome.

Whereas I sympathise with their business difficulties I have no sympathy at all with their shameless targeting of a particular group. This they do with their mantra “Put it away for your children and grandchildren”. I have heard a very sad story on this site about one of their victims. I think...

That’s what really gets me. People who can’t really afford it in these difficult times. Thinking they are building a valuable “portfolio” for their children . Have you noticed how “portfolio” is another word they are slipping into their presentations now. . Don’t know how they can sleep at...

When I had a look in today they were selling one of their cheap carved pendants and I noticed at the top of the description on screen they had “estimated retail value £2260. Surely this is illegal . Maybe someone with a better memory could correct me if it was a different channel but weren’t...

I don’t understand why people pay these ridiculous prices apparently without checking other sites. While they do I’m afraid we are stuck with endless jade. They won’t give up these profits. They’ll take a chance on losing customers who know they are being ripped off.

I think the chances of their giving up presenting jade are zero to nil. That jade bracelet which I saw for £4.48 on Temu has just sold out for £150. and i would bet my last cent that it’s exactly the same. Nice little profit.

Saw that when I clicked on their site this morning. My first thought was did I make a mistake last night but on thinking it over I didn’t. It was on the the just missed list. near the necklace whose price was unaltered this morning at 255. Then it occurred to me that maybe they do look at this...

It seems Dave is at it again. People are apparently calling in thanking him for his great prices. £149. Golden silk jade. Rare and valuable. Definitely heirloom material . I don’t think.

Here is another example. Surely what they are doing is not legal. They r deliberately misleading customers by referring to these items as “legacy” and “heirloom “. The fact that customers mails sent to studio seem to indicate that they r targeting the elderly who may not even check prices on...

Has anyone interested in buying jade looked up this site. They have pages and pages of Burmese jade at prices more in line with what they should be I.m.o. The prices on gems are ridiculous .

I’m new here too though I’ve been reading comments with interest. . I thought some of the Cavill pieces were lovely but did no one else think that some particularly the mandarin and some sapphires seemed included. Is it just me.
