During Gem Collector's breaks, there used to be loads of VTs talking about the Colourful Life Foundation. Apparently this was set up by Gemporia to help the mining communities. I was curious to see if they were still doing any such thing and I found out that the charity's accounts are 348 days...

So, as Gemporia celebrates the Chinese New Year, I wondered how much of what they sell is made in or sourced from China. Kimbie is made in China, so is Visage and too much of their jewellery is as well. I think that's why they made such a profit recently: they buy cheaply from China and then...

I am astonished. Cherry Cavill, sister of Toby Cavill, is going to leave her job as Gemporia's Sales Manager. What is going on? If this is not a bad sign, I don't know what is....

I may be wrong but it seems to me that most of what Gemporia is selling on this Black Friday is tat, with no real bargains. I think the only show worth watching will be Jeff's. What do you think?

Toby has just said that he will not be on the rest of the week because he has nothing to show. Given that we are on the run up to Christmas, isn't this a worrying sign that not all is well at Gemporia?

Are you enjoying the birthday event? For me, it seems same old, same old, with nothing to write home about. Plus, loads of DT to put up with, which is not exactly a bonus

Of all the strange things! According to Emily from Gem Collector someone started on Facebook a Gem Collector's Foxy's fan club. Why, oh why?

I was wondering what motivates presenters like Jess to squeal and shout loudly? Do they believe that by doing so they sell more? And do they actually sell more with such behaviour?

Has anyone here tried to resell Gemporia's jewellery? When I look at my pieces and wonder about their value, I think more in terms of scrap value than managing to resell it as is. I wonder what your experience is

Yesterday Dave Troth and Adina were flogging some Angolan pink diamonds but the more I looked at them on screen the less pink they looked. Actually they looked white. How can they say they have pink diamonds when they look white?

As I write this, David Troth is saying that Jilin Peridot is now worth thousands per carats. Do you think that's true? It seems a great deal of money for peridot

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?

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...

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...

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...

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

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

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?
