loobi, When he was doing a Q&A session John Bennett gave the numbers behind the free-phone Rocks no and the Gemstv low cost one so that people with inclusive calls on mobiles could use them instead at no cost. I'm sorry I don't have a note of them but some-one else may be able to help here...

Hi Meeshoo & Sacha, The sapphire and diamonds were all bought as loose stones from the early gems days. I think it must have been at the same time as the good paraiba was starting to come through. I was still working then and travelling a lot so had plenty of evenings on my own in hotels with...

Here are the pics I said I'd try to post. They are not very good but are a first attempt to show some gems from the past bought in the Gems heyday! The first is a 4 carat sapphire (confirmed as heat treated). The second is a 2ct tanzanite and a 1/3 ct diamond - neither expensive but I wanted a...

Can someone point me to a thread on how to put up pics and I'll add a few of stones I've had set or re-set form the old gems days. Thanks Meeshoo for your lovely pics. It is good to remember why we watch the bling channels!!!

For me - like buying or watching on tv - it's only a shop! If I'm enjoying I keep watching otherwise I turn over or off!!! Simple. I've trained myself not to get emotional about it. Life is too short to get het up about tele shopping.:angel::angel::angel:

I still buy from Rocks and now Gems again - having bought a lot of items from them many years ago, however it is the beads, bangles and pearls and not the more expensive things. On that basis I am happy to keep buying when I feel like more colourful bits and pieces. I do like that I am...

....... and another yuk....... I like colour and I love bold but I just can't like it. Just my taste....

Jayne still has quite a bit of Bare Escentuals in the Just Beauty Direct sale - and it comes very quickly.

I'm actually ok with how the price pledge works. I don't think it would be reasonable for it to apply when a design is remade and the weights of stones or metal are different as the cost to make the jewellery will vary with the price of the raw materials. If I happen to be watching when...

I suppose it now depends on the terms under which the Colourful Company bought Gemstv. I don't know whether they would be required to cover historical liabilities.

Alison Young Is my favourite one!:giggle:

loobie, I think you are right. People do seem to go a bit mad at clearance events - I can't believe that they want things so much that they leap in at quite high prices. I have heard people say that the prices are higher now than they were in the pre-Sky days. Indeed they can be with the...

Actually - there are a couple on Gems that I don't trust..... I do switch off! Hmmmmm, maybe my argument is less than water-tight!

I am glad that these changes have been made. OK I wish the delete button was there but I used to buy from Rocks pre-Sky with no delete button when the agreement was that you took delivery if you put it in your basket and then returned it if you changed your mind. CS were always helpful for...

I have been buying from Rockstv for some time - much as Meeshoo said for costume-type jewellery. At that end of the market I think it is pretty good. I have bought higher end stuff from Gemstv in the past and I am waiting to see whether it does indeed go a bit more upmarket again. As far as...

My second favourite cleanser is the Clarins Gentle foaming Cleanser BUT I still like C&P best .. :wave:

My criticism of Adina's selling technique is the continued use of such statements as "one of our collecters bought a paraiba from us and had it valued at £a vast sum over 100,000. She actually uses the ladies name as well. I believe that the buyer in question did give permission for this but...

In an effort to use up leftovers from TSVs in the past I tried to use the Liz Earle superskin moisturiser but I found it too thick and rich. However I also had some Decleor aromessence as well so I stirred in a good glug of that and hey presto - a much lighter nicer smelling cream. Just...

Jayne (just beauty direct) has some BE brushes in the sale. Well worth a look!

All of them sweetie! :giggle:
