    Gemporia - ASA 'final warning' - AT LAST!

    First time I saw an on screen written description mention "dyeing" & "treatment" was at 10:08pm. It's been on pre order sale & promoted on tv since early evening, before 7pm. Adina to my knowledge has not mentioned it's dyed once. Instead she showed images of blue & blue lace agate jewellery...

    Gemporia - ASA 'final warning' - AT LAST!

    Oh yes TMWNN I am writing a complaint about this tomorrow. I made sure I got what Adina said, amidst the incoherent mumbling mixed in with her sales pitch, so that I can demonstrate exactly why I'm submitting my complaint to the ASA.

    What would make you buy from Gemporia again?

    I struggle to watch them. If I'm channel hopping occasionally I watch them in disbelief at how they sell. I occasionally buy cheap gem chipping long necklaces from their website. Not because they're future potential heirloom, legacy or auction house like pieces haha. I buy them for presents as...

    Gemporia - ASA 'final warning' - AT LAST!

    Now at 8:03 pm same evening, Adina said.about the same dyed blue agate necklace: "The most gorgeous, it's nicer than the blue lace... I think it's... and it's got clarity to it, which is insane, they glow do those stones...An amazing auction house piece it really is, they're stunningly rare um...

    Gemporia - ASA 'final warning' - AT LAST!

    I've not watched them for a while now, since the last time I commented on here. This evening,15th May, whilst watching, I heard Adina selling a blue agate necklace & nearly spat my coffee out. At roughly 6:45 pm, give or take a few minutes, she described the clarity of said necklace as...

    Ideas and advice please

    I didn't know the police don't do welfare visits anymore. About 7 years ago I was worried about a lady who wasn't answering her phone. Her husband of many years had recently, unexpectedly passed away. I contacted the police for her area and explained my concerns. They visited her home promptly...

    I completely agree. I bought 2 MGC Derma Brightening creams, 50ml at £3.89 each. They arrived yesterday. (I find that range very good & excellent value on a good buying day at TJC). So I saw they had a 40% off day today plus free p&p & thought great, at that price I'll stock up on a couple...

    Fantastic advice thank you 😃👍. I was completely confused about how I was supposed to stop my Ethiopian Opals from dehydrating, while obviously not getting them wet. Now I know. I shall be buying cotton wool balls tomorrow. I've got plenty of zip lock type freezer bags, which should like...

    No wonder i rarely buy....

    I think that their imo ridiculously outdated & expensive uncapped per item p&p is also to financially cover the cost of the items sent back in the money back time that they can't resell. As well as the actual p&p costs of course.

    Yes you're right it is about flawless diamonds. I think credit card companies are still worth getting involved too if someone does get hard evidence that what they were sold may not be what it seems. Just because the administrator company and Citizens Advice told me that credit card companies...

    Very worthwhile knowing. Great information, thank you. I was referring to cover if a company goes under. In my case if I'd have paid by credit card I'd have likely been covered for my issue. Because I paid by debit card I only had such financial purchase back up for 6 months. Same with PayPal...

    Fantastic, comprehensive advice, thank you, hugely appreciated. Yes I'd only ever use a proper, lint like, soft dry cleaning cloth like you mentioned or a Goddard's one. I did read that strong sunlight & heat can weaken or damage an opal. I think extreme cold can too. The story goes, I think...

    Social Media - That was an eyeopener

    I joined it but didn't tweet for years. Didn't really know where to start. But then I got to know people on the then Twitter & it all fell into place. Plus a few of my friends joined from then Facebook, so we met up again on Twitter.

    No wonder i rarely buy....

    I stopped proactively looking at QVC to buy from predominantly due to their uncapped p&p per item. That and I feel their quality, for me has gone downhill, with many companies leaving them. Other companies imo have significantly lowered their product standards. Some of the QVC p&p amounts seem...

    Social Media - That was an eyeopener

    I haven't been on Facebook/Meta since about early 2017 I think. Blasted thing kept taking over my then smartphone. Beeping at me at literally all hours & displaying people's profile pics on my screen without notice. Often blocking what I was doing. And no matter how I tried at the time, I...

    Whilst we're on the subject of Ethiopian opals, I absolutely love them. I bought a silver ring in it years ago from Gemporia when Mark Gould was presenting there. How time flies. It was more milky than the ones around today but still had some reasonable colour play. I was extra careful with it...

    There's potentially a massive difference in the length of protection time, depending on which payment method someone chooses in the UK. PayPal & debit cards offer 6 months maximum. Credit cards offer 6 years financial protection. All At their evaluation of each case of course, please do your...

    Ah that makes sense now as I have heard of Flower Agate. Yes, interesting that they don't refer to it as the more widely known, and imo more appealing other two names. Personally I think you're correct. Call it by the lesser known Sakura Agate, so not as easy perhaps for potential buyers to...

    Certainly seems that way to me too. And sometimes for ages on each one.
