Lots of change going on for Gemporia. I was watching Gem Collector and apparently Alex, one of the two presenters of that channel, is going to leave for a new chapter in his life. Things are decidedly strange....

What a shame! Ruth Linnett says that this is her final **** on Lifestyle, she has three more shifts on Hobbymaker and Jewellery maker and then she is off our screens for the foreseeable future. She will be missed as she is funny and fun to watch.

Lindsey was selling it this morning, Ellis is selling it as we speak and she has just said that Lynn will have more jadeite pieces for us this afternoon. According to the schedule, Hattie will be selling it too at 10pm. Between the amount of jade and the fact that the jewellery I recently bought...

Dear God, loads of jade today!

I bought two pieces of jewellery from Gemporia and, much to my surprise, both have written in the tag that they have been "made in China". One was a blue spinel ring and the other a bracelet. I thought their production hub was in Jaipur, India? My mother had noticed that they were sourcing more...

So my question to you all is: do you think Gemporia will continue to survive?

I think Gemporia is making strange decisions not only about presenters. Today they were selling quartz as if it was a valuable rarity. The same pieces appear again and again. As I write, they are selling Jade again. Yesterday Lynn sold a malachite pendant, which features again on Kate's show...

I asked Customer service if they were going to replace Lifestyle with another channel and they said no, but you can get all of Lifestyle's items on the main channel. Perhaps that's the key to this development: for them, Lifestyle was adding nothing of value because it replicated the main channel...

Absolutely agree! You are so right! I can't stand Hattie, she shouts too much and has a dangerously inflated ego, Lindsey always sounds as if she is going to pee herself with over the top excitement and Jess just sounds fake... I think that if Gemporia loses Rosie and Ruth they will be losing...

I wonder what will happen to presenters like Rosie Wells and Milly Griffith's. Will they leave Gemporia?

I am absolutely flabbergasted! I was watching Gemporia Lifestyle and they announced that the channel is going to close! What will take its place, I wonder..... Did anyone here suspect anything?

I rarely watch the Destello shows, but I tuned in today for a moment and it made me laugh hysterically, bless Ellis. Ellis was saying that the pyjamas they were selling would be great as evening wear to go out in!!!!!!!

I was right: it is Craig Rooke from Shop LC, TJC's American channel. Is Gemporia buying from the competition now?

Yes, Kit10, they are, as we speak, making another brave effort to get rid of Queen Conch. I once read that shopping channels have a very high cancellation and returns rate. I think this is especially the case with Gemporia, because people buy on pre-orders and often the final price is not...

According to Gemporia's schedule tonight Adina will be selling sapphires with Craig Rooke. I know a Craig Rooke who is a host at Shop LC, TJC's American version. Thus, I am bemused: is Gemporia now buying from TJC's parent company or is this a different Craig Rooke? I usually don't watch...

Well, this is getting odd awkward or both. This weekend will again be dedicated to jade, in this case jade carvings. That's the theme for the weekend. Isn't it bizarre?

According to a marketing email I have just received from Gemporia, today from 7pm to 11pm they will have on the Besties'show with Kati and Hattie. Anyone eager to watch 4 hours of those two squealing and giggling?

I was just watching Angeline and apparently this weekend they will have more jade specials, with carvings. I wish I knew why this obsession with Jade and whether it is making business sense with customers actually buying

I would say that they are also overselling their agate and strawberry quartz. Today is a good case in point. In the morning Amelia was selling a strawberry quartz suite and, according to the schedule, in the afternoon Kate will be selling a strawberry quartz suite. It's just too much.

Don't the monthly black Friday events smack of desperation to you? Reminds me of a business I knew that had permanent "closing down sales"
