I used the bronze one - it was good but not brilliant. I always felt I had too much on. I prefer the fusion range from Smashbox as I can do the "less is more" with those.

Thanks for all the info John. It helps such a lot to know what ou have done at your end and I shall go through it all systematically later today.

Same problems for me yesterday. I first noticed it in the afternoon about 3pm - on Firefox I had no live feed but I could log on. Also when I was on the "coloured rocks" page I had a little live feed in the usual place in the middle of the screen. On IE I had the live fed but it was coming in...

Huggles, I don't think you are wrong at all. I think that the great thing about this forum is that we can all post opinions - and mine were usully negative to start with. I am trying to be a bit more positive these days for the good of my soul!!!! However (and there is always a however) there...

Alison Young is , quite simply, my favourite presenter. I accept that she is trying to sell us as much as she can shift and she does it for me a lot better than anyone else. I just find her very amusing as well. Of course I am an opinionated control freak - the highest accolade there is - so...

I just wish they'd stop saying "maths". In my schooldays 2 + 2 = 4 was ARITHMETIC! (sorry for being a pedant!).:headbang:

MY favourite by far is Alison Young - I like her humour and her sales tactics! I alos find Kathy and Julia easy to listen to. As this is a positive thread I shall close now .......:angel:

Did anyone else see Paul Lavers as the guinea pig on "Queer eye for the straight guy"? (think that is what the show was called - a UK version of the american tv prog) It was a hoot! QVC has definately moved on......:devil:

Hurrah for Rocks - we pay low prices but we get top quality CS from Katherine and personal involvement from Steve. I may be lucky but I have had no quality problems and I have a drawer stuffed with lots of lovely jewels...........

My preference would be for the second ring. Although no. 1 is also lovely, as people say, it could be a good stacker. Is that what you want it for? I suspect it could get forgotten about. The second stands on its own a bit better. You have such great rings already that it must be a...

I have bought several of the cocktail rings recently - silver and gold plated. for the prices I paid I think they are excellent value. :clapping: There is no way that they replace my classic gold rings but for a fashion statement they are pretty good!!!

I find Lynne and Angeline the best to watch - both have managed to get me to buy some wonderful stuff in the past. The best thing about the two ladies is the way they seem to enjoy showing us all of the things on sale. They manage to get over a genuine enthusiasm for jewels and that is...

Summer holidays usually spent walking in the high alps where it feels cool but the sun is really strong. It is so easy to get badly sunburned. I used Ultrasun factor 30 last year and got a bit pink - husband has even fairer skin than me but he was ok. This year we used the factor 50 even on...

How about one of Adina's favourites when showing a ring with lots of little diamonds ........ "I'd be proud to have just one of these diamonds in my collection as a sollitaire" Really ????

Logically I know that you are right Meeshoo. I work in HR and it would be unheard to make announcements about individual circumstances for private individuals. Even then we do let colleagues know what is happening as far as possible. However, as you say, they are public personalities to a...

I agree with your logic Meeshoo. I wouldn't want to be working in the same company in the retail industry as my partner. Given that Gems clearly hopes to entertain us as a way of attracting us to exercise our credit cards it would be good if they could at least announce what is happening with...

Just back from holiday and noticed that Drew is no longer in the presenter list on Gems. Did he leave at the same time as Rod? It seems to be musical chairs a the moment. I haven't bought as much from them lately but I do watch sometimes and find the "old" ones easier to watch (well most of...

just had a look at Rocks to see Don as I used to enjoy watching him.... bought a lot as well (even a 23ct ruby once) but it is hard to watch with any enjoyment with VB spluttering over her words at every price drop. I think she has swallowed the dictionary of superlatives and is spewing it all...

I have read this forum for a while but only joined recently as it seems to be a place where I can "have my say" to like-minded people. ie people who buy too much jewellery from shopping channels! I started with Gems tv some time ago and have spent more than I care to think about in that time...

I'm sure I heard Steve Bennett on coloured rocks say that a loose ruby from Thailand that he was selling was treated - still beautiful but affordable. Of course at the price on offer for a ruby of significant weight it had to be but it was at least right that he was open about it. I've bought...
