First, credit goes to forum user TheManWithNoName who posted a link to this ITV article in another thread. I feel it's important enough for its own headline because a) it's a national broadcaster article and b) all the ASA warnings are very recent. ITV...

Apologies TMWNN but I think that this is important enough for its own thread, even if it's just to create a headline forum entry. I have duly credited you.

Thank you JoJo for adding a completely new word to my vocabulary 😁

It's difficult not to be cynical nowadays. The grumpy side of me would agree 100% with you. Let's put this stock of low grade tiny stones, which we can't sell on Jewellery Maker, in an hour of better Morganite and hope that someone thinks it's a steal, when compared to the other items in the hour.

Yep. It comes to something when part of your price comparison checks must include the website of the live auction vendor... Like TMWNN's note on the lonely, random Cherry Blossom Morganite in Gem Collector's Galilea hour, it's definitely a "See what we can get" rather than "This is our price"...

Yes...has made me wonder about these too. Not about the integrity of the data printed on them but their value. Oddly, I suspect that they have more value at the lower end (quartz, topaz etc) to counter the glass & fakes that Steve - way back when - was so keen to eradicate. The ones for the...

!!!Limited Priceless Bargain Alert!!! Chocolate diamonds, tonight at 21:00 BST on Gem Collector...

Of course! I hadn't twigged that "Gem Collector is now fully digital" could have meant that. It makes sense now. In which case, I'm off to sell my photo at £5 a pop - digital of course - under my realistic looky-likey pseudonyms of Chrys Hemsworth and Jomes Dean. Let's see how much damn lead...

F-ing brown 🤣

9pm tonight with Jim... Weigh down your boots!

Maybe try it in a gumball machine to get a handful to thread, just like the DT multicoloured jade strand you loved 🤣

Anyone know why Emily is now lying/gaslighting/being ignorant/doing a Tiktok scam on how many colours there are in the visible spectrum? She has recently started gaslighting GC viewers "there are six colours, right?". No, Emily. There are seven. There always have been seven and "Purple" is...

Yes, she is. Granted, they have their off moments but, in the main I don't have an issue with the Cavills. They don't need Gemporia for sure, unlike David & Harry Jewels and, I'd venture to say, Primal or the new Menomy brand.

Totally. I do wonder what happened to that viewer query about how much ruby was actually in their Malagasy rubies... Here's proof that the answer is "probably not much". An honest listing on eBay from a UK seller. Not only does the cert say "Heat Treatment" but it's annotated with the...

So, although the GC-specific anniversary isn't until February (also the anniversary of Alex's sharp exit - remember those Harp lager adverts? - and the start of the rot), no surprise...no surprises. Another quartz hour with some large clear quartz pieces, some drop shaped with faceting that...

Gotta love a trier, or two. Fancy spending £10K on some TGGC opals? 1. 9k pendant for £6K (can't be a holding price, based on his other items) 2. The "Taylor Swift" set sold by Emily, not two weeks ago?

Ooh, imagine a few chest hairs getting trapped in the push mechanism or pocket clip 😨😁

Well, credit where it's due. £3K looks "okay" for an 100% natural 12ct pink tourmaline in 3.8g of gold (and some standard melee diamonds). They had a trilliant too that must have looked a beauty (missed it).

There's no law against giving all your offspring the same name... Absolutely!

Another example of a Gems TV brand of yesteryear that had interesting designs, heavy silver weights and took Rae Carpenter a lot of time and effort to create. Used to have a real point of difference from all the other mass-produced charms on the market. I even bought some of the last of stock...
