    Well, I need a stiff drink after that shock!

    Blimey, maybe you should have a lie down whilst you down the drink, for want of a much better word, what the hell, i just cannot believe the audacity of some of the prices they are churning out, that one is a real doozy and i certainly find it hard to believe that some people will pay those...

    Ditch the candles, buy the bath bombs .

    Yes, according to the complaints from a small group of customers on Gems facebook page, gems are now selling bath bombs. Presumably the bombs are stuffed with gemstones or maybe they look like christmas tree baubles and have gemstones hanging underneath the bath bombs, anyone know, well i dont...

    Whoever Said Reviews Are Being Hidden Is Right

    OMG, I really do try not to say too much about presenters, but i just cannot help myself this time, last night i was clicking around on the computer and had a quick look at Gems, when Adina had the pink top on that others have mentioned, at one point she was showing more of her bra than the top...

    Oh Grief! A Whole Day of Gems Quality Diamonds?!!

    Apparently she ran a health and fitness centre before joining gems. Anyway, i know what you mean she has one of those hard faces if you know what i mean,also i thought all this chakra stuff was forbidden on selly telly, as for the candles etc, well not for me, not the least bit interested, i...

    As Arnie said "I'll be back!" - and she is!

    d watching ages ago, i loathe all the half truths and the hard sell, it really is awful, i occasionally flick through out of curiousity sometimes and without sound. Amelia was okay on the Lounge, but i felt needed a strict manager on duty otherwise she went rather out there and a bit bonkers, i...

    Oh Grief! A Whole Day of Gems Quality Diamonds?!!

    How lovely, not. I suspect they have to keep on flogging them to get shot of all the returns from the last diamond day. I dont profess to know much about diamonds apart from the obvious grades, though i have seen the reviews from customers complaining that they are poor quality and have no...

    Whoever Said Reviews Are Being Hidden Is Right

    In the three years or more i shopped with gems we were never sent a review to fill at all, we spoke to feefo who wanted to but for some reason gems blocked it, at that time we didnt have any major complaints, we put it down to the fact we live in Spain, strange eh.

    As Arnie said "I'll be back!" - and she is!

    Blimey she is getting about alot, she left gems and went to create and craft, then onto Rock and Co and then back to Gems, maybe she has gone freelance, which is what many of the presenters have dont, including Rae Carpenter, Katie Ho and Heather Wish have also done. Personally Alex was a bit...

    Genuine gemstones???

    Gems appear to have been doing alot lately of spouting on about rare gemstones including the egyptian turquoise which was reconstituted if you read the details also recently a customer either on the reviews or facebook cant remember which suggested they expand the treatment library as various...

    Remind me - are they supposed to sell jewellery?

    Sounds to me that jewellery is not selling so well so they need to add something else, problem is whilst Mr.Bennett was trying to expand into other countries the other channels have already expanded into other areas, so not much room left for manouvre, i mean Rocks and co seem to be doing gold...

    TJC Presenter Georgi

    Yep couldnt agree more, was having a quick flick through this morning and omg couldnt believe it Lyndsey shouting and waving her hands about like a thunderbirds puppet and laughing and shrieking like an hysterical maniac, heaven forbid i couldnt switch it off fast enough. I fail to see how that...

    TJC Presenter Georgi

    Apologies for the missing words above, my perro de agua puppy went bonkers due to the heat and has turned my patio into a pool whilst diving into the large water bowl,maybe he needs a larger mini paddling pool instead.

    TJC Presenter Georgi

    Yep, totally agree with the hysterical laughing thing, drives you mad, though in fairness to Rachel Hatton she has toned down a lot since she left gems, but Lyndsey just seems to truck on getting louder and louder and saying the most ridiculous, such as whilst selling lapis lazuli chip bead...

    TJC Presenter Georgi

    I dont watch any of the selly telly these days as such, though i do hover now and again on a flick through whilst having a coffee, so have only seen Georgie a few times, she came across rather well, so its a shame she has moved on, i rather wish it had been Lyndsey Gunderson, not only does she...

    Ok, I Admit Defeat

    Well, call me silly but i fail to see how a coated topaz can be graded as si, to me its just a treated stone and i do think that the few comments i have heard from some of the presenters, plus are sailing very close to the wind. I happen to like chunky jewellery and by that i mean something with...

    Ok, I Admit Defeat

    Yes, absolutely crazy prices, cant believe anyone is buying at these prices, some of the sarah bennett collection were being sold at up to 99 pounds, virtually all the stones were heated, waxed or had some form of treatment, personally wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, they are getting...

    Gems TV Feefo reviews

    I have always kept a keen eye on the reviews that can be very informative and i had also noticed that some of the negatives dont seem to be on the website for the specific item and it seems to be happening more often than it used too in the past. As to the Boudi piece, i didnt see it on screen...

    And the Winner of 'The most Naff 'Christmas in July' event is........

    Yep totally agree Historymystery, i guess some newbies must think we are the angry bunch, but it is sad to see what was once a good business providing what the customer wanted and better quality and price go down the pan, let us not forget that Steve Bennett has had 27 businesses, which maybe...

    Christmas in July: Sale? Really?

    On David Troth facebook page it states he started working for Gems in 2015. I think you might mean the other named Jake, who is married i think to one of Bennetts daughters.

    And the Winner of 'The most Naff 'Christmas in July' event is........

    I used to like their chunky modern silver rings they used to do sometimes,but they dont seem to do those anymore,so coupled with their awful courier service they have been doing for the last seven months within europe, in which its a case of whichever so called courier service turns up for the...
