You can say that Briolette - I couldn't possibly comment :mysmilie_696:

I have PMd Blinglover but no reply so before anyone else gets confused I must claim no relationship to Lee Jones and trust Blinglover's comments are not aimed at me. Perhaps that can be clarified? :mysmilie_81:

I can appreciate concern about card details? Were the phone lines shaky or computers down - something that happens frequently on channels like bid up etc where there is computer ordering facilities.? Are you implying, however that they have insecure customer finance details? If so It might be...

Slip of the tongue Sazza It's me age. I did of course mean Rocks.tv. Good of you to point it out - thanks.

Shows that any J at Gems can be helpful then - just glad you are getting good service :mysmilie_697:

Jon is, I suspect John Bennett, one of the Directors and Steve's bro and I have always found him to be most helpful and he has sorted out any glitches I have had. So good he has stepped in and shows the power of having a Forum like this to air problems.

What a run of horror! I have never had a serious problem in loads of buys with Rocks but I guess I have just been lucky. On the credit side - CS have thrown a few freebies in the shape of Milano bag and a Collector's Box with tubs next day.

Star Sapphire - lol crappy pictures and the Sapphire is nice blue indeed.

Like Tsavorite and Alexandrite they find lower quality stones in other places like neighbouring Kilimanjaro edging countries , I beleive. Alex and Tsav now found in Madagascar and India. One of the commonest gems is Diamond as they find new seams almost daily but the naughty Cartels keep them...

Me jewels Many bought from Steve in his various Gem selling guises. Star Sapphire loose gem bought from Steve and made into a ring

When I photograph my family jewels I always use a flash!

I ain't no girlie Junesie :mysmilie_34: not just the laydeez who love their gems. :mysmilie_61:

Welcome Blinglover and may the bird of paradise fly up your nose and the bling fairies bring you bling wrapped in little shiny parcels. :mysmilie_701:
