Hold on to your hats! 🤠

How about these acrylic beads or toffee gumballs, both for less than £5 of your Earth pounds?!

I didn't but know what you mean. Sample images attached from their current stock online of their platinum or 18K range. All have black inclusions, which may be smaller in some than others but you can't "unsee" them. Not an emerald specialist but I think that there's some truth to the claim...

None, I think. Same general location. These look quite yellow on screen though and Steve B bigged up the Changbai batch because of a more green tone in a quite narrow range.

Well, might be me but there's a bit of re-labelling & promotion going on at GC. Tuned in for a "Premium Citrine" hour, to be presented with...(sample) Pretty darn sure that these used to be plain old Madeira citrine a couple of years ago...

Jess: We're saying it's peridot. Does it look like peridot to you? Me: Yup. 🤣

On a positive note, you can get this for...wait for it...£450 (2.5g cheese wire). Yep. £450....

I first bought in 2012 and my first post here was in 2017, in response to historymystery lamenting the departure of Rae Carpenter. I definitely bought more from The Outlet after that. My memory is that you could get some nice 18K pieces at sensible prices. Lifestyle never really did anything...

100%. It always was just 'Tulelei' in the branding and presentation. That TV segment had SB fretting over whether people would buy an orange garnet. Bonkers really. He had a bee in his bonnet about branding/naming even then. Probably a gemstone industry thing though, when you look at...

These still available and the prices?! 😨

Exactly that - Emily is using this gaslighting technique a lot more. Sometimes she adds phrasing such as "we know, as Collectors, black is white. It's expected, right? This Lorique, SI grade RAAC concrete is rarer and has an estimated retail value of £800. I'm already at a fantastic deal of...

Not only £2.99 for four hand towels but also £7.99 postage and also at least £1.50 to order on the telephone 🤣

Firstly, wow - £249!!! Second, I cannot find much, if anything, comparable. Sounds good? Maybe, except that there is a 2016 paper online about harvestng this in the South China Sea and it makes shocking reading.

Just had a look at the Event Calendar for these two weeks. Not a truly external guest in sight, it seems. No Glenn even.

You want to see my 100,000 carat kitchen work tops 😁

Countless times. And when they're so indiscriminate and put up famous vintage pieces or antique items, that makes me cross because it's treating the viewer as if they were born yesterday. I saw Dave Troth and Lindsey Carr had some bought-in red agate pieces in the "Alhambra" style. Nice...

Morning! Just thought I'd pop in to say hello, in case there's some airtime going. I know how much you miss me. Lots of love.

You might have something here. Emily has said that they've "moved location" in India, she no longer waxes lyrical about Sharmille (?), talks about the new channel manager "sourcing" and I haven't heard much mention or seen videos relating to the promotion of women in lapidary recently. It's...

How about this?! Quick, it's a GC Daily Deal. Top Forbes gemstone! A bargain! (An ugly thing even if TMWNN were to move the decimal point two places to the left!)

This 👆. I forgot to mention that I remember when, unless you were focussed and pretty damn sure, hours regularly used to be complete sell-outs before the (much shorter) break at the top of the hour was over! Absolutely 😁 everything changed at the same time as the move to the new studio...
