That has to be the easiest money!! No design, no manufacturing, just buy them in, mark them up and sell them out. Cheeky buggers. I know that they would claim that air time costs them and I have no doubt that it does. HOWEVER the margins are extraordinary.

I had to finish this posting off! Unsurprisingly outrageous £39.99 - almost twice the going rate.

I am standing by for tomorrow afternoon at 4pm (Sunday 7 September) I have seen them promoting a 10g bar of pure silver. I wonder what nerve that they have to ask for that!!? Bear in mind that they, 'for the first time ever', had 10 Grams of PLATINUM BAR (999.99% Purity) at £799.99. On the...

Only recently occurred to me that I haven't seen the 'Gem Guide' touted on screen as THE bible of the industry. I cast my mind back and the latest copy of the magazine seemed to be regularly on air to show the quoted trade price vs the Gemporia/Gems Television price. I wonder what has changed...

Does this explain why Toby gets a seat this evening and we have to endure two hours of hemp juice?

I guess that many couldn't help but bump into Toby and Ellis with the CBD mega presentation. As always bust making the case for the fact that the product is of the highest quality, using superior extraction methods which set it apart. That it is full spectrum. That Toby has seen a 30ml bottle in...

Looking at today's schedule. At different times of the day; first Toby and later Dave but both in 'Fantasy Land'! It has been said before!

Send him to the Tower!

Just feels the right point to add that the clasps on some necklaces and bracelets are woeful. Tiny, flimsy little things. Supposedly to secure 'impossible to replace' gemstones and pearls. I would have thought for a few pennies more they could use something substantial. But rule of thumb now -...

Clearly my brain is too free to wonder on this Bank Holiday Monday..... I wonder if the 'Managers Special' sting still is accurate (or perhaps ever was) for those items that get the description. I am sure that I have seen items presented for sale on an occasion and then some days later presented...

This might be the wrong place to post this but I have just seen Sean, previously of IW and currently popping up as a plant and gardening guest (expert), advertising one of those 'send us all your tat and unknown treasure, and we will and you an derisory payment by return' websites. I guess that...

Something that you will never be able to unsee.

If he does no wonder he could afford to fund a trip to the Bahamas to do a few pieces to camera to promote the range

One of these is from Esty for under £20, one from Gem Collector at £149. Can you tell which is which? They are Queen Conch carvings, both pieces stating a size of 35mm by 35mm Full disclosure - the Esty is from Hong Kong and so will take a few weeks to get here and the postage is just shy of...

Isn't that what they are trying to do? These mystery boxes probably contain the odds and sods, returns and last few of loads to 'limited editions', loaded into a minimal cost casket and fingers crossed that that will free up some space in the vault. But you know that they won't shift them all...

Do you think that they are taking any notice of the non take up of their treasures? This evening the introduction, one time only this is going to be possible Luminescent Freshwater Cultured Pearls. Seen on high end web sites POA (expected to be north of £20k. They, those on the websites, were...

Maybe Sunday afternoon with Dave and Angeline is going to shift the 'remaining' Angola Rose Pink diamond. Slightly bizarrely (!) it was the new lines priced at £1,199 to £1,499 that show as sold out once the presentation was over. But eight of the original range still show as available - even...

So everyone was right!!! But TBH the show wasn't for me as they were diamonds in clusters which were mostly 1mm or smaller with some single larger up to 2mm at the centre of the cluster. I am quite prepared to believe that they were Type 2a pink diamonds, of course in 9k rose gold to pep up the...

Dear Trothy is on from six this evening. Need to get my dinner done early so that I can see if he is any different.

Toby and Lindsey just now 'Chocolate pearls', a strand of 6mm and a bracelet of golden caramel pearls. Of course they are! Because the compound that they are coated with makes them that colour. On that basis you can have any other colour of pearl that you can think of. And I guess that they are...
