Caught a few of the padparadscha items...with extra windows for your viewing pleasure. How can Diniz sit there and wax lyrical if he really has 12yrs experience in the business??

The pink tanzy studs were doing quite a good impression of kunzite...the green was reminicent of green sapphire. Maybe they look better in daylight? There was the most stunning pear cut tanzy pendant of nearly 12 carats. Wow.

I didn't know you could even do that! I have been pondering a kunzite in silver on the site at £24... I think I deserve a treat for watching T and T Diniz. lol

I got these years ago, so can't remember the details exactly, but the band I think was sold as padparadscha, and the solitaire as pad. colour. I know you probably can't tell much form a piccy, but any opinions on them would be interesting. On a side note, I would like a green sapphire ring...

I don't normally like rainbow sapphire, one colour at a time for me! But this is a lovely design and excellent price. I've never seen anything like the floating diamond ring before, how does that work?!!

I have just looked and can't now see that my card is stored at all, and the items I did buy in the past are no longer listed. They were there a few weeks ago because I looked. There are also errors on most if not every page. It all really need attention...plus the time it takes to load which...

More of the same today, looking like aquamarine, and at much lower prices.

Thanks MM...well that rules about 90% of Rocks stuff out then!! I will look up tilt window when I have a minute. Have prices suddenly gone down or am I hallucinating? lol

I now look very closely at gems after reading the comments on here, so thanks for making me a more discerning buyer. :wink2: Regarding windows, is it just the head on view of a gem where one shouldn't be able to see straight through, or should it be all angles that reflect as much of the...

Don't know if any of you are watching this, the pieces are nothing like colour matched, one stone being much darker, and the end stone is a far bigger oval, all windowed of course. They wanted £99 and it took ages to flog. Hideous crap.

I quite like some of the designs at R&C, and like a more delicate look, as opposed to quite a few of the items at TJC which look a bit like knuckle dusters! Surely there is a middle way, a more delicate look in gold(I don't mind chunky in silver), but sturdy enough to not to buckle?

Yes I saw a couple of the sphenes and they were lovely...also the demantoid, such a wonderful sage green and the sparkle that made the diamonds look very ordinary.

Size N are fine for me, but O is sort of neither here nor there, too big for third finger, but not quite there for the middle! Still, for that neon green, it may be worth it.

Gorgeous....now I feel very poor indeed! lol I have noticed that the tanzy on tjc almost always looks entirely cobalt blue, and appears to display none of the violets etc that can usually be seen with R&C's stones. Is this just down to studio lighting differences, and do tjs stones show the...

I saw some absolutely deeelicious Colombian and Zambian emeralds on tjc last week. I admit to a terrible weakness for green stones, and was sorely tempted. Must resist. MUST RESIST!!! :envy::angel: The prices did look very good, and the colour and clarity was stunning. Sigh.... Anyone else...

I am thinking of giving TJC another go. My first(and only)order in spring was despatched quckly, but their courier, DX were total garbage, claiming they had been to me twice, when they had clearly never been anywhere near me! I cancelled that order and swore never to buy from them again, but I...

Thanks all. Your knowledge is invaluable for someone who is learning about this fascinating subject. Kos I would dearly love some tanzy, and have recently seen some heavenly antique cushion rings, and loose stones on TJC. Now all I need is that money tree to start giving! lol

I saw that ring about three times, I wonder why they couldn't flog it? Watching TJC there was a beautiful loose paraiba stone in vivid turquoise...just mouthwatering...sigh.

Most of what I saw seemed to be fairly well cut in terms of lack of windows, but the colour is far too close to Barbie pink for me. The bracelet at the end...a bit of a dogs dinner of every cut thrown together. Oh and Tenner looking positively green at the prices....ham acting or what!

The marquise ruby ring is gorgeous. One of my favourite cuts.
