Yes, but is it ethical from the viewers' point of view?

You're learning fast Jojo!

The CoA's reassured buyers that they were getting what they paid for & Gemporia were the only company doing them. As for 'Froth' - ignore him, no-one listens to him anyway! 'Superfluous to requirements' comes to mind!

As I said before, the great 2024 comedy show just rolls on. Sad, really. Stop calling him the great man, he'll start believing it! But wait....... I think he already does! 🤣

There's a lot more wrong with Gemporia than mixing stones - If it was only that simple. 😢

Farcical!

It's a pity you didn't know the old Gemporia, even as late as ten years ago. The present day set-up bears no resemblance to the original company, started by Steve Bennett, with, I believe, the best of intentions. That company was, deservedly, a resounding success and now they're hanging on to...

Well, in my experience of high street jewellers, they're quite prepared to charge extortionate prices for their jewellery but know absolutely nothing, or care less, about the origin of their gemstones, or anything about their quality, background, or any treatments they may have had. This is one...

Jeff is the only presenter I watch now. He's the only one who has a genuine interest in, and knowledge of, the gemstones he's selling. He also has that rare quality of integrity, and works hard to get everything right. He should be the MD, though I don't think he'd want the job!

Rod had the intelligence to be witty, if you know what I mean. As the old saying goes - 'It takes a wise man to be an *****.'

Maybe Peter Simon is at a loose end or something?

That should come in handy when she's a Pilates teacher.

Sorry Anna - it was 'historymystery' who mentioned the talon-like nails! I think its past my bedtime! 🤭 💅

Well said Anna, I agree with you 100%. It's now a complete farce and bears no resemblance to the original format. And, you're right about the nails. There was a strict code where presenters had to adhere to neutral, pale colours and short lengths. For the information of the current management...

If I remember correctly, Tulelei was called Tulelei Garnet in Steve's time. They didn't always call it Garnet, but neither did they go to great lengths to conceal it. Not like today's 'Nilimani.' They rarely, if ever, mention Kyanite when showing it, and all they talk about is Kashmir sapphire...

"It's all selling out," "hurry or you'll miss it," down to the last two," etc. etc...... Please, just give it a rest. We all know the game.

I don't trust any of them! However, I'll leave Jeff off that list. He tries to rise above the everyday negativity and just does his own thing. I wonder what he REALLY thinks though! 😏

I've just been listening to a 1996 song, 'Where have all the Cowboys gone?' I think we all know the answer to that!

Yes, the 'clocks,' a D. Troth idea, has been a feature of TJC forever!

Troth probably trained his cat to do it!
