Hi Meeshoo and Sacha! OOH its good to be talking purple sapphires! Yes, It was a purple sapphire I bought so impulsively, but will have to whisper, not gems but TJC.. It was rhapsody and I think between a 2 -3 carat (but no clear memory), solitaire in platinum, looked very beautiful and lust...

Thanks Meeshoo, i'm beginning to relise its all about degrees! I agree, the first 2 types of sapphire wwould be the most desirable to own, the 3rd sounds awful with beryllium treatment. We are so at the mercy of honesty when we buy from tv aren't we? But also, we have to take responsibility to...

Hi Meeshoo, i had a look at the purple sapphires, they say say they are heat treated, so is this still considered natural? I suppose if a stone was completely unenhanced it would say that, but this is where I get so confused, because natural surely has to be untouched, not heat treated? Please...

Reddwarf, your post was so nostalgic! I remember a school trip to the Blue John Mines many years ago, the gift shop etc and being fairly unimpressed with the look of the rough!! Much better was having a go at some goldpanning in the U.S as a child, god that was exciting, and we took away our...

Thanks again Sacha, another interesting read, of course now I know how beneficial gems such as smoky quartz are for my health and wellbeing, it would be foolish of me to ever stop acquiring them, wouldn't it?! I have had my eye on those wonderful red rutile quartz earrings at rocks tv at the...

:mysmilie_348: Emeralds! The crane..and an osteopath after wearing such a whopper! I love Blue Topaz but wouldn't want a whole swimming pool of it! Talking of whoppers, on TJC at mo, showing a 24 carat tanzanite. All I can say is wow!

:mysmilie_348: Hi Sacha, That article was perfect thank you! It was exactly that type of thought that had been bothering me and the explanation was clear and reassuring! I have to admit though, as much as I love some of my gems, 'cuddling' them hadn't really ever crossed my mind! Also had to...

Hello Meeshoo, Welcome back, its good to see you posting again! Thanks for the information which is very reassuring. I think it was the blue topaz that i had read about on the internet some while ago, it has always seemed a bit of a minefield, the whole enhancement business. So glad I won't be...

Thanks again pg, loved the anecdotal story and it made a lot of sense! xx:mysmilie_687:

:mysmilie_348: Hi PG, thanks for that, I guess I really don't know anything much about this subject, only that heat treatment is also used to deepen colours. My concerns are about wearing jewellery thats been irradiated as it just doesn't seem safe!! Its years since I saw things like the carved...

Just wondering are there any particular health risks in wearing jewellery which includes irradiated stones? Also wondered which stones this treatment is most likely to be applied to? If anyone has knowledge of this i'd be very grateful for some insight! Thanks in advance. xx

just seems a case of pot..kettle..black LOL

why name and shame gemdreamer? it was a conversation in chat that broke down, not something for everyone to enjoy on here in a name and shame! You have voiced your criticisms of the chat room and it seems that inappropriate conversations upset you, so why on earth are you encouraging the same on...

welcome Hello and welcome Sarah, Looking forward to seeing you present at Rocks TV, hope you will be very happy in your new job. Best wishes

Hi Dazzy Daz, Sending you loads of get well wishes and looking forward to seeing you back in chat very soon. Steve launched a gem called angelite the other night, and I bought some for you. Love Hollywood xx

Troll 1 and Troll 2 Wow! the troll family just keeeeeps on growing! Wonder if these two morons are related in real life? My 8 and 9 yr olds have far better manners and show more maturity and intelligence! :mysmilie_17:

Argey, you have been an example to us all with your politeness (hee hee) :mysmilie_17:

You must be paranoid! Show me where ANYONE has 'jumped on my back like has been done wiv Vegas' ??? Frankly, i'm surprised that any of the respondents to this thread have the patience and good manners to reply as politely as they have. None of us need yours or vegas's approval to be...

Lol Princess!!! Would just like to say what a brilliant post PR and to add that Steve is expecting to be away for a lot of February and is putting in as much time since the launch as he can to ensure this new venture gets off to a great start..he seems to be very supportive of his entire team...

Avid, you have my sympathy! My delayed order finally turned up last wednesday, I was prepared to have to keep the earrings (as is the policy) and return the rings which were for mums birthday, but as I looked at the earrings, one stone was so loose in its setting that i could hear it rattle...
