    Gemporia Festive Ball 2023

    Personally, I would rather stick pins in my eyes... but maybe that's just me. When everything went down the plughole. When refunds took over a month and Steve appeared promising to resurrect Gemporia from the ashes - like some kind of Messiah - I thought: "I'll wait until Christmas, I won't...

    Gemporia still sinking

    Actually, I have stopped buying from TJC because I bought a pair of amber earrings from them, in good faith, then got a letter saying they had tests done on their amber and some of the tests said it was amber but others - they did not say how many - said it was not. I could have a refund or a...

    Gemporia still sinking

    To echo this. I had a large amber pendant. To look at the certificate you would think it had no treatment at all. However, it contained sun cracks. I called Gemporia and they told me that it should have said heat and pressure (HP) promised to send me a correct certificate. Unsurprisingly it...

    Birthday event

    I was actually having a bit of a lovely time watching a bit of Gemporia today. Honestly. Toby was on with some relatively-fairly-priced Marcasite. Lynn was on with an under £20 show - I turned a deaf one to her exhorting people to get into crystal therapy and apart from that - it was not at all...

    Prices Candles TSV 23/10/23

    Yes, I have had them before. I always have candles burning. I get through an awful lot. For everyday I buy Asda's Pacific Wax range. £3.50 for a large jar - like the big yankee ones - and a range of scents, some better than others but at that price I won't complain. The pacific wax melts though...

    Multiple buys for me I think :)

    Birthday event

    Well, stand by your beds. Dave is on again at 8am. I guess the more they put Dave, Toby, etc on the more they can justify retaining them if things are hard. Plus, they are more relentless on the "hard" sell techniques. Gemporia binned a lot of presenters in the last round to save cash and...

    Golden Quartzite Jade ... as rare as ... crisps

    "As rare as... crisps". One major difference though... I like crisps....

    Not quite just him. https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14427942/persons-with-significant-control Interestingly, the company is due to file again quite soon https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14427942

    Not good

    I don't know. I have tuned in once or twice and they seem to have no stock! They spend ages on the same item and it all seems to be the kind of stuff I can get from TJC. None of the old IW brands. Why on earth buy another channel only to sell the same crap you are already selling? The IW punters...

    I saw this and for the first piece Jade Troth used not one, not two, not three but FOUR clocks in a row before he even got to the final price! Is this a record?

    Birthday event

    Same, anytime I have taken a quick pick it's either been the occasional Lorique or total tat. Nowt in-between. The products now bear no resemblance to what was on air two years ago and more. Really saddening. Also, when searching on their website, they just don't seem to have as many items as...

    I used to love Gems TV

    I got an "even-more-spectacular" card through the post. Offering me an "incredible" 20% discount. They used to give a code for 35% in their magazine - every issue. So, I was slightly underwhelmed by their largesse on this occasion. My money will be staying firmly in my wallet.

    Katie on Gemporia

    Nah, you'll be all right. I thought Scarlett was rank. Never got to try Miss Diopside. Angelite is a little woody in some ways, but light with it. I tend to use that one after a bath as it's not too dominating. I tend to have phases with perfumes though..

    I liked their Black Onyx and also Ivy. Had a lot of positive comments on both.

    It does rather explain a lot.

    I seem to think that Ellis helps to train the new presenters though. One of them mentioned it.

    Katie on Gemporia

    This is one of the main reasons I stopped shopping with them completely. It happened far too often and as every show was a "sale" or "clearance" in name only there was no price pledge. I just ended up feeling totally ripped off. Another shocker was seeing an item on the web at one price and then...

    Presenter Duos

    It might just be me but I really do not take to Andy. I turn off immediately as he comes across as a bit rude and somewhat bigoted. Maybe it's a form of humour I am just not getting. I dunno - just not for me.

    TJC - Delays,delays,delays

    I sent an item back with the pre-paid label a bit over a week ago. I've already had the refund. No consolation for you at the moment I know, but hoping it indicates that there is not a systemic issue and will be resolved.
