Are they just publicising what you can do already? I saw a 'deal of the day' on a Friday but hesitated too long, thought about it all weekend, then phoned the 'personal shopper' on the Monday and was able to order it then and there at the same price. I was surprised, but pleased. I don't know...

Klosblue, I think I saw that ring on air this morning, or one very similar... I couldn't believe tourmaline at that price either! Please post a pic when it arrives. I am happy with tjc at the moment and will remain so unless they do something to p*** me off! A couple of months ago, I returned a...

Gahh! Think of the Tanzanite you could have bought with that £4900! Those are lovely, lovely stones, Jacqualina. Thank you for sharing the piccies.

I've just posted on another thread, I saw a gorgeous green 2ct paraiba on tjc (not the one in your pic) which went for £799. Later the same day, I saw a small, washed-out blue paraiba sell on Rocks & Co for £1200! Still kind of kicking myself for not picking the phone up sooner... okay I saved...

I totally agree too, they really seem to have got their act together lately. Altho they sell a lot of what I call 'bread and butter' stuff eg gift sets, basic earrings, pearls etc that don't really interest me, almost every day I see something I love. (Hastening to add that I USUALLY manage to...

Now that is a good idea! (The simulated alexandrites I mentioned are precise sizes, eg 10x8 or whatever). Cost-wise, another thing to take into account, if getting a precious stone set, is that you'd also have to purchase side stones (assuming you wanted them)... goodness knows what a jeweller...

I've got a 1-carat Iliana tanz ring which I love, it's violety under artificial light but really at its bluest best in bright daylight. But now I've got a hankering for a decent-size (around 4 carats) really vivid deep blue one and nothing less will do! Our local jeweller, unusually, has a...

Considering it was an 'impossible question', you've given me an incredibly informative and detailed answer! Thank you so much! Actually it's put me off a bit having a loose tanz set... maybe I'll keep looking for the right ring instead... After reading this, I don't think I'd trust anyone with...

Hi Calico - when did you phone them? I phoned on Monday about midday and got straight through to the 'Personal Shopper' (press 4) who was able to order me the item I wanted straight away. I was a bit stunned by how easy it was! I don't know what CS opening hours are though, because they are NOT...

Any thoughts about what it might cost to get a loose stone set in white gold? I have a budget for a loose tanzy stone in mind, but I really don't want to be spending an extra £500 on the setting... I once enquired at a couple of jewellers about getting some loose, lab-grown alexandrites set...

Oh, I've been drooling over those loose tanzanites! They had a 31 carat one that was like a housebrick! I'm looking out for one within my budget... don't think I can resist much longer!

H'mm... VB is still insisting that emeralds and rubies should have lots of gloopy inclusions, the more the merrier... Meanwhile I've heard Derek stating that this is nonsense, you want your emerald or ruby as clear as possible, and 'don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise'... I wonder if...

Oh, I have to go and look. If this is true I will be very happy. I'd just got into watching Rocks a while back, when it suddenly disappeared. (Whispers... TJC is still my favourite tho!)

Thank you so much for the lovely welcomes! And sorry it took me so long to say thank you but I was away (working) for a while and this is the first time I've been back! I love jewellery and I love the forum... what more can I say! I have to look at Derek's site now! Some weeks ago, hub and me...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while but this is my first post! I think Derek is brilliant. A few weeks ago he was doing impersonations of female presenters 'on another channel', pretending to pass out in astonishment every time the price dropped! So funny. (Can't imagine what channel that...
