The first time I remember watching it casually was when they used to sell Russian Alexandrite and not really watching because at that time I couldn't afford the prices for the stones I was interested in. And yes, what kept my attention was the information and the video 'inserts' of the stone's...

Not the most original title, and I have given my thoughts on it elsewhere here, but. I am not a 'from the beginning' watcher of the channel, but I think Gems started going downhill when SB 'sold / gave' his employees joint ownership of the company. Not talking about how fast it's gone down...

Am I imagining it, or have they shied away from calling their 'Van Cleef' items alhambra for clover? Recently all I've heard is their calling them clover....

Shall I look for the YouTube video to assist in your remembrance? ;) :P

Could be. And, if I recall the words correctly, 'anyone can fall in love'? Who'd want to fall in love with a load of ruffians and thugs? :P Even if the show is bordering its 40th birthday. And he lives in the same town as me. Haven't seen him for ages, but he's still around and looks older...

It was. Didn't they decide to put words to the theme tune of the programme? Or was that Nick Berry who did that? I know he did the Heartbeat theme. Either or.

I remember that. I have a stretchy made of the Brazilian version. 'They' said, and I paraphrase, it still classes as ametrine coz it was found right on the border with Bolivia. Think they called it Mato something.

Seeing this put me in mind of an advert from 200 years ago that I thought was so sweet, I mentioned it on my FB.

Yellow Zoisite from Tanzania :P As it 'should' be called. And golden tanzanite or not, it certainly, rare or otherwise, cannot be 'legacy' for only £30. Legacy implies 3 or 4 figure sums with a decent setting / metal / amount of same. ;)

Really? Would never have thunk it would ya? :P

Can't say I've noticed, but now my ears will be peeled. :P

The dye is what fills the fissures ;)

If this birthday 'event' is anything to go by, IF they make 21, that'll be DT, Lindsey and Jess after her second maternity leave is over, all holding smartphones a'la selfies, selling this years birthday items from a paste board table from the local DIY shop. Don't forget, they were still...

I remember when you could buy 'natural' (or as natural as it can be without coating etc) decent sized amber rings in silver for £100 less than that one in the middle: if not more.

So, if they can't get hold of gemstones any more, how come they keep 'opening' the SB vault? Which implies they have 'tons' of the stuff just sitting there. And they probably have all the 'non availables', in the back room cupboard and putting the price up for 'old stock' pretending they have...

And yes, it's been commented already, but his 'baby' and Steve didn't shows his face on the actually birthday day? How rude :P

One song that should be 'rubbish' I liked. Can't remember it's title, but I will 'sing it to you'. Wassa matter you, why you looka so sad, it's a nicer place, shutuppa ya face. The lyrics may vary, but you get the idea. ;)

I hope you're sitting down. DT and Jess are on as I speak. (Well, write). You would NEVER believe it would you?? ;) Zambian emeralds. All untreated, said he. Oiling obviously isn't a treatment is it? And there's talk of 'the stones they are showing' being "priceless", as suggested by Jess and...

I can picture it. Cement mixed, instead of with sand, balast and water. The sand can be replaced with the metal (of your choice) shavings, heated into balls to make it more sand like, and the balast can be 'natural' gemstones and the water has to be gathered from the finest Dubai-based mirage of...

How spooky is this. I post about concrete and when scrolling YouTube. I see a video from 4 days ago called, "Why isn't Roman concrete used today?" I suppose, as it is the Halloween month..... :P
