I will not be buying from Gemporia again this year until at least October (Christmas shopping) - unless I get stuck for a gift idea for someone.

I've also seen Trough on other shows going on about how this is such a pure green but it always looks very yellow to me. I don't see what the heck he is seeing - or says he is seeing - for sure.

Harry is Dave Troth's middle name.

I think about the same or slightly better (due to the inflated prices and cutting (the decent) staff and channels). Personally, I would like to see worse figures, simply because this might shove them towards making decent changes instead of becoming more cut-throat and dying a slow, but...

I did have a look at Lynn's Crystal Website. I was shocked at the prices she is charging for monthly subscriptions/ Crystal Coaching. Bog basic with no actual crystals starts at £20 (£19.99) per month! Top of the range is £100 a month (£99.99) but you don't get 30 mins one-to-one with Lynn each...

Actually, you can comment on their FB page. Lots of people moaning about Jade still. I looked a couple of days ago and commenting is still live.

Gotta say it. Toby has really grown on me as a Presenter. When he first came I did not like him. But he's my second favourite to Jeffers now. Angeline has gone down, a lot, in my personal rankings lately. Troth is at the bottom, then Angeline.

But remember, they also had a stall at Tucson. They were selling there too.

I saw a necklace I liked on a show. I thought about it and a couple of days later thought I would order and take a look at it. I phoned customer service. In the past if I was able to say which show I saw it on, with who and at which price that auction price was honoured. No more. I did the...

Oooh dear... don't tell Vapid that... the phone lines will go into meltdown.... :) :P

Meh, Adam must be very young then. By her own account* she's been working with gemstones for about 18 years total and probs a lot less than that with the metaphysical as that 18 years will doubtless include flogging at Gemporia. I'm glad she has found what floats her boat, and my argument is not...

Did anyone else catch Lynn Jinks selling Ethiopian Opals this morning? It was an interesting show - for twisted logic. Apparently, labs (some, or one, at least) are now issuing certificates to say that Dyed Opals and Smoked Opals are natural. To be absolutely precise they are "Natural Ethiopian...

Yeah, but there's still the overall bloke-ishness... I'll pass. He's all yours. :P

Actually, Jake would be quite safe. I prefer boobs to moobs. ;)

"La-la-la-la-la"

The board bought me in at the bottom of this page - and to Vapid's post. Having read the above there is no way in hell I am scrolling up. Especially as I had a cheese sarnie earlier and it is heading towards bedtime. :) I guess this is the forum equivalent of sticking my fingers in my ears and...

And in many cases it seems the Advertising Standards Authority also agree that Gemporia's practices are questionable - at the least.

I do find it interesting. Janey left, Charlie Barron left, Samuel B seems to have disappeared. Destello seems to be replaced with Kimbie. With hardly a heartbeat of a pause for re-ordering and stocking these areas were taken over by Gemporia itself. So, no third-party involvement. GemAuras now...

Yup, at time of writing they also have available in pre-order a freshwater cultured pearl necklace. In "more details" size is given in MM but also in carat weight. Dunno if that is legal or not - but it shows both.

I did buy a few things at Christmas. Chosen carefully and bought on a credit card and nothing very expensive. Those days are gone. I would like to see Gemporia have a more even pricing policy. No more an item being auctioned for 399 one day and 299 a few days later - with no chance of a price...
