How weird .. this my comment above .. 🙄

I really like the Visage range and just watching Kati presenting her face serum. A refreshing change, she knows her products extremely well and provides a high level of relevant detail without overkill .. and none of the screeching which to me only serves to signal desperation not excitement...😁

I have worked in sales and probably the basic principle that applies to all industries is to have strong product knowledge. Pantomime antics do not cut it and only undermine the product. Sadly the days are gone when I would look to Gemporia to educate me about gemstones. The prep for shows by...

I really hope too the gold tone is a C Wagstaff legacy and ditched, not least because it makes you question the value of anything it is set into - I'm amazed Gemporia appears not to understand that customers will make that connection. I know I go on a lot about cheese wire, but 1.25 for a...

I suppose it comes down to whether you trust Jake when he says the stock was bought at a time the transaction could be said to support ethical mining and mining communities. It's a difficult one with Burma.

Like everyone else here I can't take any of those figures seriously (yawn...) but I just caught the end iof Rachel's gold under a £100 show and credit where it's due, I thought the deals, a lot of which were well under a hundred, good gold weights and designs, were the best I have seen for some...

I like Jim too and much prefer the presenters with a likeable personality who do not shout or speak at 100 words a minute, so much that I feel stressed out after what should be an enjoyable experience. Lynn and Angeline are are experienced and 'professional' but hard sell and cold. Hattie seems...

I suppose it is ok if there is more transparency about the amount of gold, but so many times I've heard certain presenters refer to a 'luxory amount of gold' when it is way under 2 grams and view on TV exaggerates the size. In a store you can see what you are buying at close quarters, but...

Perhaps send Dave off to Brazil to track down the Minas Giraffe kunzite that Hattie with her weird pronunciation refers to 😁

Angeline and Lynn seem to use similar tactics to get inside customers heads .. 'this is a beautiful, would look great with that maxi dress, don't you think?' and somehow their 'warmth' and smiles are quite cold 😕

One of the reasons I always liked Gemporia was the principle of making gems affordable, and to do that I appreciate the commercial need for compromise. I just feel it striking that so many of the coloured diamonds and some of the higher quality white being shown time and time again are set in...

I like the Aryonna collection too, it just puzzles me why so many higher graded white diamonds and pink/yellow seem to be set in much less gold, 1.5 cms or under, than other less valuable gemstones. 🙄 Some of the coloured diamonds are being auctioned time and time again, but with a little more...

Goodness you read my mind .. pretty much my assessment too !

Last weekend I was looking for an 18th birthday gift for my niece, but in the end I went to Monica Vinader and bought some hoop charm earrings because I know they offer good quality contemporary designs in Vermeil which would make a suitable gift. I had seen some pretty Namibian diamond designs...

Agree with all of the above and you can argue that remote selling demands a higher level of information provided to consumers compared with purchasing in store when you can feel and see the dimensions and quality of what you are buying. Remote selling is of benefit in cutting costs for...

I agree completely, I wouldn't say I trust any of the presenters either, but I guess that's ok if a piece of jewellery appeals and it lives up to my expectations when I receive it ... or I know I can return it without having to wait weeks for a refund. I find some presenters more...

Sorry but Jake in particular behaves as though he could just as easily be selling a plated set of 'genuine silver' cutlery down 1980s Peckham market 😂

The last few years have been turbulent for sure and have presented unexpected circumstances that have challenged the best run companies (I'm not referring to Gemporia). I suspect that Gemporia may have done well out of the Covid times as there was literally a captive audience at home which...

Such a relief to have a break from Jade. Really enjoyed Toby's showcases this morning. Even if you are not in the market for Cavill and Co, it was such a pleasure to see and hear about such beautiful gemstones. I know Toby is there to sell but personally I find him so much more engaging than...

Frankly the prevailing bias towards Jade is plain absurd, yes of course there will be customers it appeals to, or who are seduced by Dave's claims, but as a proportion of the whole Gemporia customer base, it cannot be anything like the majority, or even a significant proportion. I am absolutely...
