Thanks Sazza. I hadn't seen the thread. It's a waste of air time in my opinion but in her defence she only had two items to sell in one hour

I have been expecting these news for quite some time so I wasn't surprised to hear that Lynn Jinx is leaving Gemporia in March. Do you think that will have much of a negative impact on the channel?

I hardly ever watch Ellis. Today I did at 2pm and I was appalled by the amount of times she interrupted the show to play videos of how to get involved and how to send to a friend. Is this common practice with her?

Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear that!

That's fair enough. I think I am just impatient. I placed my order on the 20th and I am tired of waiting for it. At least I want to see it on its way. Very silly of me really, as I have to accommodate the delays created by the holidays

I am not particularly impressed with TJC. Despite their claims that they have dispatched my item, Royal Mail still says "sorry we are unable to confirm the status of your item"

Hello and Happy holidays. I had a parcel dispatched from TJC on Christmas day. Has anyone else had a parcel dispatched yesterday or today? If so, is your tracking from Royal Mail working?

I was a bit shocked when Lynn and Jim both said that Gemporia will not be live this Christmas day. Aren't they supposed to be 'the friend in the living room', keeping people's company? What has happened to Gemporia? It's already bad enough that their recent offerings have been appallingly bad. I...

Yes, sphalerite is also beautiful but too soft to be set into jewellery and yet they sold it in both 9k and 18k gold rings without telling customers how fragile the stone really is

Have you also noticed that Gemporia has reduced massively their 9k gold collections? Nowadays it's either silver/ gold plated or 18k gold pieces most of the time. And it's very rare to see new coloured gemstone collections in 9k gold. Perhaps Kimbie is Gemporia's future, not gemstones. If so...

Every time I tune in Cavill and Co is on. Yesterday it was about 6 hours of ridiculously expensive jewellery. Well, at least I am not spending any money with them, so I guess that's a good thing.

I have been hearing many people express their belief that Gemporia is slowly nearing its demise, but I didn't believe it until now. On their Facebook page they have posted the highlights of the first week of their birthday event and, with the exception of Ceylon Sunset Sapphires, there is no...

Yes, I am finding these events quite underwhelming. It doesn't bode well for the birthday event.

So you don't believe that rhetoric of "cutting out the middlemen" anymore?

Is it just me getting the wrong impression or Gemporia is sourcing most of what they are selling nowadays from China?

Did you see Toby, on Lindsey's show, extolling the virtues of dyed quartz and asking £149 for a necklace made of the stuff? It made me lose what I still have of trust in him as a gem expert.

I watched Lindsey this morning sell tiger's eye dyed purple and I was horrified. She kept saying how rare and difficult to source it is. Dyed tiger's eye.

Hello. Have you seen the launch of Kimbie? Is it going to replace Destello?

She said she needed to take her foot off the pedal and start working less

As I write this, Jade Troth is happily selling Type C, dyed jade. If natural jade was bad enough, dyed jade is absolutely terrible. Why does Gemporia keep buying jade, now lower quality one and not buying other gemstones? What is happening to this company?
