I should say about the smell of the Shea & Cedarwood: I would never have bought this fragrance if I'd smelt it in a shop. I've not burned the Cinnamon one yet, but it smells strange but quite nice too. I think I'm damning this set with faint praise!

I've just realised that my large Shea & Cedarwood candle that I'm burning just now has a strange appearance. It doesn't bother me, I wouldn't have noticed it until I read this thread, but it almost looks like there's a layer of wax caught inside the glass of the jar, which is obviously...

I was almost tempted to buy the TSV in purple or red because my daughter is called Anna. (Does anyone know why she chooses the names for her bags??) But... I just couldn't justify spending £130 on an admittedly beautifully named bag that looks no bigger than the purse that came with my...

Yeah, I've always thought it was a pretty massive leap of faith to buy expensive earrings off TJC if you can't return them. I wonder if they realised the non-return policy was losing them custom?

Thanks for all your replies, ladies, very helpful. Like I said, I returned the tanzy that I think was windowed, and I bought a diamond ring instead. Unfortunately one of the diamonds fell out after only 15 days on my finger, so I've returned that. I'm terribly disappointed, it was such a...

I've always found the call centre people to be polite and helpful, I've never ever had a problem with any of them.

I got mine today and it's extremely bright and blingy. I ordered it in a size I hoped would fit my middle finger but it doesn't fit, so I'm wearing it on my ring finger, and even though it's a little big, I think I'm going to keep it. I can't imagine that a real green diamond would be this...

And one of the QVC models is the Vanish stain remover lady. I can't remember her name, but one of the prettier models anyway.

I actually prefer the unrealistic diamonique pieces: the stuff that looks like costume jewellery, you know. One of my favourite diamonique rings is a colossal 'alexandrite' and 'diamond' SS ring, of course no-one is going to think it's real. I ended up buying this TSV in the green option...

Can someone explain to me what a window is and how you can tell if your gem has one if you don't have any real technical gem knowledge? I'd never heard of windowing until i started coming to this forum. Reason I ask is because i bought a AAA tanzanite solitaire, and when it arrived there was...

I've never bought from R&C, but I do like to tune in on Freeview in the afternoons every now and then. What I don't understand is why they use such miniscule diamond accents, even on the biggest designs. I'm always seeing 2, 3, 4, 8, even 15+ carats accented with less than a tenth of a carat of...

Very nice. Is that neon blue apatite? I love the moonstone too. I had a bit of splurge today: neon blue apatite circle of life pendant, garnet & diamond bracelet and a very unusual aquamarine and sapphire ring. I'm very much looking forward to seeing them, I think TJC jewellery is fabulous...

Claire's hair is far far too long just now, I hate it when she wears it down. But the other day she wore it in a very glamourous high bun at the back and it looked fab. She was wearing a very nice black shirt-dress, and I thought she looked ace. Hasn't she said on air that her life is in...

I just saw the 12noon presentation, and my first thought was "Crikey, have they started selling p0rn on QVC?, my second thought was "Sausages!" - that woman is some colour. At no point did I think "Hmmm, maybe I should give that a go, it looks very easy, portable and fun."

I happened to catch this afternoon's show, and I totally shrieked my head off when I saw £200 for moisturiser. £200??? That's obscene. Flipping heck, if anyone's gullible enough to pay a couple of months' worth of fuel bills on a face cream, they're mad. I was gobsmacked to see that it's a...

Sorry to be thick, Persian, but what is SSDD? I hardly ever watch Gems these days, the kids won't let anything other than CBeebies on the telly, but I've noticed too many of these specialist shows (urgh, Ammolite in particular), most of which I have not a hope of buying anything from because...

I took a wander down Bond Street a couple of weeks ago, my idea of heaven! Anyway, the only piece of jewellery I could see the price on was a pair of emerald & diamond earrings, price: £885,000. I kid you not, I had to go back a couple of times to make sure I'd read it right! It did make me...

I bought a lovely multi-gem pendant tonight, can't wait to see it, it looks enormous. And bizarrely I bought a sapphire pendant/ring/earring set, but I think I might phone tomorrow to cancel it, cos it's not at all my kind of thing, I just bought it in a moment of madness cos it was £30 for the...

No way, MissM, that's stunning. I thought Tsavorite Garnet was supposed to be quite pricey as a rule?

I've seen some very pretty stuff... but I flicked onto Gems for a second and saw a pretty amethyst ring so bought that (partly to annoy my husband, who's in the doghouse!). So no lovely TJC bargains for me today!
