    Not really sure I'm the right person to give you an answer but this is what I'll say anyway... - Priced at just £59.25, add on P&P (if only purchase on day) so call it £64. - Just 1.5g of silver total, across the pair including push backs - Declared as I3 clarity, H/I colour. - Shape: baguette...

    They must be desperate.....

    Definitely a "Wind Up and Go" style. She's been saying "we can see" or "we are experiencing" since the very first presentation she ever did (probably in the trial she did when auditioning for the job, just can't remember). Odd phrasing, jarring and strangely distancing, which is probably...

    100%. It's always heart-warming when there's a "result" like this. The colour of the emeralds in JoJo's silver pendant is lovely. This happened to me on Gem Collector recently too, which woke me up. Thought I'd buy an amethyst, prasiolite and citrine as a little Christmas present. Nice...

    So it ended up at £19.99 + £3.95 P&P (UK). Chain being sold separately. These two Gems TV items on eBay (UK) for £20 or less, chain included. So, it just pays to look around for your purpose and budget when it comes to good value. 👍

    This, at £10, looks so much better than the Pick at 6. You could buy 3 and thread 2 on some simple shepherd hooks for earrings. Smaller pendant in length but only by 3mm and at least the topaz will sparkle on its own!

    Even Fine silver will oxidise, just more slowly but there are loads of anti-tarnish bags, boxes and strips out there. Keeping silver jewellery in a box or bag will help slow the tarnishing. (The prices in my image are right now.)

    This, on the other hand, is the sort of market stall bling that isn't worth more than a couple of quid. In my opinion it's Christmas cracker stuffing. It's a 23mm drop (tiny - look how big the bail is), 1.07g 925 silver, with illusion set I3 1.1mm diamonds. The light box hides the off-white...

    It's a tough question, JoJo, because it's all so subjective and depends on the context of the potential purchase. One example is in attached image of pendants in their Argentum 960 range. I have the Lapis one and bought a black Spinel version as a present. I bought them at less than the price...

    Not sure I've seen truly nasty posts, except by the occasional troll who comes out from under the bridge. The nails thing? Well, hygiene is the immediate thing that stands out with those. I've seen shocking raw then cooked chicken videos with people wearing false nails that range from...

    Christmas in July

    I did flick over to GC last night at 8pm (Emily jumping between studios, I see!). She declared multiple times that opals only come in six colours. Anyone know what the blazes she means? I was so puzzled, because I have some Ethiopian opals that are right across the spectrum, that I looked...

    Cavill & Co. show tonight

    I agree. It can be quite difficult to get an iron-rich gem that has perfect clarity, tone and brightness and is truly red, as opposed to leaning towards orange, pink or brown (which is really dark orange). Quite often presenters will laud a stone as being 'red' and the stock photos will show a...

    More Gemporia BS!

    I have one, only. This 1976 Britannia silver pendant. Very nice weight of silver, the opal is sparkly & dark - sold explicitly as a doublet. Bought it because it's design was so of the period. £99. Not cheap but I like it.

    What would make you buy from Gemporia again?

    Glad to hear that said straight. Used on Gems TV all the time, this line is pushed even harder on Gem Collector. I still prefer zircon to diamonds. I have a couple of clean, precision cut unheated ones that have a lovely "champagne" colour to them, so not high in brilliance but great...

    "We operate on tiny margins"

    Might be just me but I think it's become more noticeable. On the "Gems TV" side, they go from one extreme to another. One moment selling badly-plated basic stones for silly prices, the next selling 18K pieces (don't mention the jade!). Even in the 18K or Platinum ranges the diamonds are tiny...

    "We operate on tiny margins"

    Diamonds aren't necessarily my thing but this isn't particularly cheap is it, even in a so-called "clearance"? Forget the total carat weight. These are I3 3mm stones set in 2.3g (average) 9k gold.

    Somebody please buy Adina a dictionary

    You heard it here first folks! Adina has announced secret industry gossip... She has yellow diamonds later and Graff are really plugging them, with a yellow diamond collection. But the gossip is...the Graff collection includes yellow sapphires because - wait for it - Adina says "they don't...

    More sneakiness?

    Pretty sure that I've heard him talk about his freelance associations with retailers on the Place Vendome in Paris. Quick Google lists all the usual suspects and more (Van Cleef, Cartier, Piaget, Graff, Boucheron, Chaumet, Courbet, Chanel...).
