    Jade Troth is back

    Be careful you don't eat the beads and thread the gumballs :P

    Soho probably. But only by walking through ;) Sweet innocent lil me. :P

    I did a cursory search and the first one that came up in the list was Jake and gemporia. So I got bored. ;)

    Gem Collector - ignorance

    To me too, being partially colour blind, as you probably know, that does look madeira-ish. I get the idea that diamantina is more orangy? Unless it's all down to their wonderful photographers.

    That looks like the name of two workers in an adult store in the middle of London, says he trying to be polite :P

    Random musings and general banter.

    Might be surprising. Remember when years back there was this ugly ugly broken lion statue thing someone bought for 50p at the 'end' of a jumble sale? Antiques Roadshow. It was ugly. Turns out it was an 18thC item that got sold for something like £10,000. I like 18thC, but that, I wouldn't have...

    Jess Foley

    It's not a joke, but what's the difference between Jillin and Changbai? They are the same location, so said he in the lecture at the beginning? Is it just a case of a name change?? Changbai used to be the bee's knees back in the day.

    Did a 'stop' on the 'new' hour of IW (6pm) to see, not 'shopping' but Peter doing a 'voice over' off camera introducing himself, then he stands in the 'doorway' and does a nigh on 10 min 'stand up' routine. Can't say it was funny, but what a waste of time. IF you want to buy, do you 'really'...

    Birthday event

    Ooo, I'll buy four. Keep one ring. Dismantle the others and earrings and pendant them, and then, melt down the excess gold to make the pendant setting, and if there's any left over, make a chain too ;)

    Birthday event

    Ballerina, an impressive post. Looking at it, I'd agree, he doesn't make a good father. Coz I'm in that frame of mind, he must think he's a good father though. All those 'business' babies, and all his 'real' babies. Tongue in cheek now, I hope he treats his real babies better than his other ones.

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    And wasn't it on the front cover of his Lure of Gems tome? That was the days of interestingness. Actual books with knowledge, albeit changed slightly over time, but still, a good learning base.

    Ellis Is Now Totally Pointless

    You put me in mind of another DT product possibility. Jade that is rarer than hen's teeth, from the depths of that chasm he fell down when off that island with the sharks (if I'm remembering correctly ;) Not done my research as I write). It's a Kimbie collab. Those face rollers made of stones...

    Random rubbishy records

    Very potted history. University Challenge, over here, was based on a show he did in the US. If it wasn't for him, 'we' wouldn't have that show. He also did a show called Password, where he met and fell for, Betty White. (Her of the Golden Girls fame, etc). They married. :P Youtube has his songs...

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    I can't really comment on your '1' section, as that was before my proper watching time. I do remember Rae though, if that helps ;) That didn't help them either. Glorified department store. Too many fingers in too many pies, and as you say, Jack of all trades. So thinly spread: no 'now'...

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    You saying that, if you 'ignore' the way the business is being run, the quality has definitely dropped too. Diamond accents have magically turned into zircon / white topaz. Yet, the prices don't 'drop' do they. Don't say they do, coz it's a reverse auction site :P (Saying that to me ;) )

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    That's actually a testament as to how fast it has happened: that you've noticed in such a short period.

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    That's another reason I kept watching it. I more or less worked my way through the top 5 and others, but in general, ignoring the fact that I'm between jobs as I write, I haven't bought anything from them in over two months because nothing has really grabbed my attention. Plus, to repeat...

    Favourite TV programmes

    And, I've a memory like a sieve, so may have mentioned it somewhere here already, but I liked, as we are talking ads, the Papa / Nicole ads.

    Random rubbishy records

    I liked him, but when as Hutch, he began singing in S&H, it seemed odd. :P And here's random. Have you ever heard Allen Ludden sing? He made an album.

    Gemporia 'Downfall'

    And they used to have 'first timer' jewellery: Usually £10 as an intro. And whenever SB was on, he usually went OTT on his price drops, on purpose or otherwise, it worked. Which, as an aside, today they had the second in command doing a tanzanite show with Hattie. He 'thought' one item was white...
