    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    It was 2.27 H treated, I just thought the design and colour were underwhelming. Debby Cavill's designs and gemstones just presented are on a different level at £1995 per piece. Amazing.

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Sadly im sure you are right. Dave has just been on with his Madagascan blue sapphires. There was a Lorique ring that was £1799. He was comparing to the finest Ceylon etc and saying there would be nothing like it in Bond Street. That in itself is designed to make potential customers think they...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    I found the Mirabelle story very upsetting too and the combination of pushing the 'friend in the living room' theme and constant positioning ofmundane purchases as 'legacy' is crossing the line on so many levels of decency and ethics. The more I think about these tactics the crosser I feel and...

    Cavill&co

    I've never seen Debbie before but I caught some of the show earlier and enjoyed watching .. the pieces were beautiful and seemed well priced if that was your budget/looking for a special purchase. Toby is a bit of a guilty pleasure, he is there to sell of course, but I do find him engaging and...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Jess is the one presenter I just cannot listen to at all with the constant repetition of inane, patronising words and phrases. If she's on, I'm gone. I remember a while ago she was on with Hattie for a Destello show and would not shut up interrupting with her wow, absolutely and yeah yeah...

    What's happened to Gemporia

    I am confused now what Gemporia stands for and it's products. At the start the USP was genuine gemstones set in genuine metal. Over recent years and without any real explanation the brand had been stretched in extraordinary directions. What does Gemporia stand for now?For management to consider.

    Destello Angeline jacket.. thoughts?

    I am glad it's not just me, I just could not work out who the Angeline coat was aimed at and the selling of said item did not seem very convincing from Hattie either. I am not even sure Angeline liked it 😀 Dave, Jake and Jess in their own ways I find v hard to watch and none of them have ever...

    Destello Angeline jacket.. thoughts?

    I'm WFH today and have Gemporia on in the background. I am not sure what to make of this item, certainly would not buy as I am a classic understated sort of girl .. I think Destello started out with that kind of theme. This item is bright pink with the tie die influence Hattie says Is this an a...

    Visage

    I bought the faux tan face and body bundle £39.99. I have very fair skin so fake tan can be a nightmare. So far I have used the face product and I have to say v impressed. Just spritz on and the colour is lovely and skin feels super soft. The fragrance is subtle and pleasant too.

    Indicolite? Really cross.

    That's so true, the one thing that has kept me interested over the years has been the education aspect. I have never bought for investment, but if I would enjoy wearing it and being informed about the origin and characteristics of a particular gemstone made the whole experience so much more...

    Indicolite? Really cross.

    Agree completely, some of the so called Indicolite pieces were very pretty but way below anything you would expect to pay for such a rare gem - at best, blue / green tourmaline and reasonable prices, but not Indicolite. When customers pose questions which are ignored, clear red flag. And as for...

    Indicolite? Really cross.

    I saw a brief part of the weekend show when there was an Indicolite showcase. One forum member mentioned the stones being presented as Indicolite looked very green, had a quick look and posted I agreed Just now Toby is on with Angeline and I sent two messages to the studio querying the colour...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Actually when you look at the app and just missed items there are designs that describe the stones as green, but perhaps you can have green Indicolite? I love blue stones but I thought Indicolite is super rare and definitely blue or strong blue tones?

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Just had a look at the show out of curiosity. These stones do look very green, some designs more than others. At a push green/blue rather than blue/green. I wouldn't say deep blue though or predominantly blue.

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Sorry for going on about the customer service issue but these threads have made me reflect. When I started shopping here one of the products I bought was a pair of blue Ceylon sapphire stud earrings 1.5 cts in gold £70. When received one was a perfect cornflower blue but the other was paler. I...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Sounds v plausible this us what happened at Gemporia, Steve stepping back and handing over to an MD without the passion for gemstones and understanding of the business model that made the company successful .. and complacently thinking that sales during covid when there was literally a captive...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    To be to honest if any company was struggling, it would be suicide to sell Jade, if the value was described, at the prices they are doing. They would be to Aspreys like a shot. Like others feeling I have been taken in by the Gemporia spin but I think if you were an early customer and did get...

    Paul James knitwear is fab by the way and head and shoulders above anything Destello has offered since IMO, so grateful for the introduction as I've bought a number of item directly from them 😀

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    Thank you for sharing, it certainly does not present a pretty picture of Gemporia management, ethics and financial stability, yet resonates with what we have seen recently and the experience a lot of us have had over recent times with quality and customer service. Unfortunately Gemporia has...
