    Kimbie cashmere wrap

    I haven't posted for a long time or watched Gems, as every time I dip in it is a Dave monologue... I don't like Kimbie as a brand name but I have just received the pink cashmere wrap and it is beautiful. It is a good weight and really well made, plus good packaging if it a gift. £129 so a...

    Under the sea ..

    Oh Katie has just appeared on screen with a large lipstick prop .. Not Halloween then ..they are selling the scary lipstick .... !

    Under the sea ..

    I know .. Hattie's lipstick was scary but maybe just Halloween inspired. In between was a promo with Ellis showing Kimbie wrap .. overall very mixed up show and nothing to tempt, but that could be just me ..

    Under the sea ..

    I don't watch Gems anymore, nothing of interest and far too much Jade T. Switched on randomly for curiosity and there is Jake, several minutes into the show I have no idea what he is selling or if I would want to buy if inclined to do so. The only thing that catches my attention is Jake's...

    "Liquidation Sale"

    Liquidation sale is just another fairy story that Jake seems to specialise in. Liquidation is a very ill advised choice of words as it immediately suggests company about to fold .... but again that has Jake's name written all over it (not the sharpest knife... ). What struck me was that Kate I...

    Lyndsay ...

    For me there is a split between presenters who are knowledgeable (Angeline, Adina, Lynn, Kate, Rosie) and watchable and the rest who are either too Pantomime (Jess), hard sell / manic (Hattie), poorly prepared for shows and incompetent (Lyndsey) and Ellis playing the 'honesty' card but not...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    It was more fun in the past as you say/a new concept which was very appealing, and in my experience the products I bought then I have worn lot's and could not replace now at anything like the price I paid. I guess Gemporia has not moved and innovated enough plus dependence on availability of...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    I genuinely feel sorry that Gemporia has lost its way, but there seem to be so many poor decisions with stock and presenter approaches / lack of competence which are just a turn off. From the products showcased over recent months I can't see any future for Gemporia and no idea what is stands for...

    Lyndsay ...

    I will have to stop now watching Lindsay's show now .. I have already posted on another thread how she was stressing the colour in a Chalcedony bangle and how difficult is us to carve this gemstone without losing colour ... if she had looked at the graphics she would have seen her piece was...

    Gem's dishonest sell tactics again!!

    Lindsay just on waxing lyrical about a blue chalcedony bangle she is selling... whilst reading a extract from some article saying that only expert carving can retain colour in blue chalcedony ... fair enough ... only slight flaw in her argument is that the piece she is selling is dyed lol!! 🤣

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    I've noticed that surprise surprise ... it is Dave and Jake who are particularly fond of this tactic and they use it unashamedly. When Jake was selling a paraiba ring recently which went for just under 2k, the starting price was in the 10s of thousands (I think it might have been 60k!!) It is...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    As lots of us have said, the basic truth is that it would make no commercial sense for Gemporia to sell cheap if the material is really legacy quality. So if customers are happy with their purchases that is great, but Gemporia will be making a profit and so any purchases will have a lower market...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    I don't even look now at the schedule because even when I tune in to see what's on it is either a Jade show or a show with Jade. I can't see how Gemporia can continue to be honest. It feels to me like a run of shows just to clear what they have and then close down. No new Gem Auras, Charlie...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    I'm not watching Gemporia these days even in the background WFH. I know there is no direct comparison but the whole philip schofield and holly willoughby press does make you stop and think again about presenters on TV. They are just actors paid to be nice and achieve best ratings, what you see...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    And when customers buy, receive their items, see the realty and send back .. so the never to be seen again shows continue in a dreary loop .. I haven't seen anything worth watching let alone buying in many months....Everything is either Jade, unexciting gemstone stretchie bracelets, flimsy gold...

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    Ps did anyone see the jade 'hand charm' just presented by Jess with usual mouth wide open amazement. Admittedly only 9.99 but still overpriced, it was a shapeless blob with a hole in .. was it supposed to look like a hand?? ... Hilarious 🤣

    Ellis unapologetic about jade

    Just looked to see what is on at the moment .. mutton fat jade...what a surprise. I hardly ever look at Gemporia these days and when I do it is either Jade or those birds 🙄 Good for the bank balance though!

    Glass birds

    I didn't watch the shows but in ' just missed' it had two glass elephants on hind legs looking like they are having a boxing match?? And the stag in all its glory .. I'll pass on that ... 😂 ...what is Gemporia thinking if at all!

    Glass birds

    Oh no .. don't give them ideas ... Glass art giraffe coming soon .. there is no limit really ... and Ellis did promise more critters over next months and years !!!😂

    Glass birds

    Tuned in today around 2pm break from gardening and Dave was on with his never to be seen again mutton fat ... but then the birds came on .. honestly if glass sculptures are your thing there are so many more tasteful options on Etsy for similar price. Ellis said there will be lots more of these...
