As I can only put one in the 'like' section of your comment, I will add here more. :LOL::LOL: As an extra, after reading the above regarding external guests, or the lack thereof. I reckon DT will go off sick after the birthday. TWO WEEKS of his waffle all day will really do his voice wonders...

White baroque on at the moment. Edison pearls are wonderful, but they aren't as good as these...... Paraphrase. Sorry for this bee in my bonnet, but it must bug me more than I think, if I keep on about it over multiple threads ;)

I'm not just saying this, but truth be told, I don't really know how old my necklace is. I got it around that time, from the shop of my first boss, after he deceased and we were 'closing' down. When there, in the basement there was still stock from the jubilee ('77) as well as muppet related...

He's been told he has to pay for them, or is that out of the goodness of his heart? Be funny though if he and his weren't fans of hers.

Pearl's what? But seriously. His is a very limited inventory. The highly impressive jade, queen conch, which I see he (I presume) is doing on the 4th, and, I suppose now Mr Barron doesn't bring his pearls anymore, someone has to take over. I don't watch Gems 24/7 but they do only seem to have...

Yes please ;) lol

Feel free, he's quite popular here ;) Everyone loves talking about how marvelous he is: especially himself. :P

I saw that too. The way they were going on about it, I was under the impression that it was one of theirs. You know how the presenters went through phases of designing stuff? Gold plate is probably the lowest you can go in terms of coating. YES, I've said it before here: buggered if I can...

Don't tell the newest Gem Specialist that. He LOVES them to the moon and back. What they say goes. To do a turn of phrase used here. If 'they' told him the sky was green, he'd believe them, especially if they had written proof, signed and sealed.

Hattie's teasing the presenter to take over from her. Wouldn't it be funny if it was the gem specialist who goes by the intials DT? :P

How many times have they shown a ring and shown for comparison another ring, the same style? The other ring had diamonds and not zircon and is in platinum or 18K gold. Theirs is either 9K or silver. (Stones are examples). THOSE sorts of comparisons are ridiculous. A blunt pencil has more point...

I'm on my way out, so I've yet to study this. I did a quick look for 'natural'. Found one on the page, for £95 at nearly 5ct. that looks somewhat better than this one. If you see others ;) https://www.etsy.com/uk/market/grandidierite_rough

I can't see the point of comparisons. They are rarely, if ever, like for like. Like talking of Jess. Earlier she was doing Aurora Danburite: cut and faceted, and she insisted on comparing them to 'raw' versions that were being sold for tons. Small cut stone against something that is two or three...

Yup. How many times, as an example, has peridot been bettered by peridot over and over again?

Just a quick interjection. Why are GC doing 20th birthday shows when 'they' are not 20. They have their own birthday, as does JM etc. I'd be inclined to agree with Historymystery regarding GC being integrated into the main channel. After all, we've all seen 'loose' stones sold on Gemporia...

Just because I'm here, as opposed to the DT thread, and as he's mentioned. Selling a red agate, he and his sidekick Lindsey. Said regarding Nanhong Agate being dearer if they needed to get more. Added, and I paraphrase, but why would we get nanhong when we have 'this', (whatever red agate is...

Supposition, but maybe TJC are doing that to make it seem (to those who don't know) that they are separate entities. Did I hear side note? Yes. Lucky you. But they are related to the topic. Unilever probably has the lion's share of virtually every product, yet, two items made under their...

So, gemporia should quote the hatton garden prices. Which implies you could get a gold band for around £30 to £50? And a gold ring with gemstone nearer the £30 mark?

I didn't see a link to visage. But you knew that, didn't you? ;)

Did somebody say 'aside'? Yup. Me, with a double. It is related though :p I'm sure I've said this somewhere here (this is part the first), Tesco chicken sandwiches. They profess fresh daily, yet the chicken comes from Thailand. Not China, I know, but talking of relying on others for 'our'...
