Hope you are better real soon! Hi Daz, :mysmilie_348: R0ckstarr here. Sorry to hear that you are unwell. You are sorely missed in the chatroom! I wish you all the best and hope you are on the road to recovery very soon... ...not least because you are missing out on some wicked gemstones at...

I have a sonic cleaner like the one for sale on Gems. I got mine from a certain online auction site for £19. The advice you have received is correct. Porous jewellery like pearls, opals, abalone/shell, coral, and mookite (there are others) cannot be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner (with...

Just to let you know, I got a full refund (cost and postage) and I got my return postage refunded too. I used to buy loads of stuff from Price Drop and Bid TV (perfume, bed linen, pots and pans, cutlery, etc but mainly gold jewellery) but not any more. Not only have their prices increased to a...

Mine makes me very happy too! I find that some of Rocks' jewellery has that white stuff on it but I just put non-porous/robust pieces in my ultrasonic cleaner then clean stubborn spots with a soft toothbrush. Then I put them through the cleaner again before drying and polishing them up with a...

I got the same watch and bracelet set and sent it straight back too. What a piece of junk! I was horrified when I opened the box. I could not believe they would send that old tat out to anyone. I think they had a nerve charging money for it because if I had known it was that bad, they could not...

I am not sure why that matters (given that they are a shopping channel!) but they used to. They stopped broadcasting on freeview earlier this year (in January) but no worries - sister channel Bid TV is still broadcasting. I am guessing Pricedrop stopped broadcasting on freeview due to the costs...

QoB, I am R0ckstarr on the site and I am a RA. I have sent you an invite via Facebook, as requested.

This is what annoys me too. I have my own business (not selling jewellery!) and I know just what a slog it is to get established. Like the Bennetts, I am trying to expand and diversify a bit and it's hard, particularly in this day and age. This individual must know how difficult it is too, yet...

Just to let you all know, I managed to get an 8.5 carat morganite to match my pendant (the pendant is 9.2 carats). I am very happy because the pendant is one of the rarer colours and the ring matches perfectly. All I need now are some earrings! I am not going to hold my breath tho...but you...

They did it today. All kinds of bad behaviour again today! I was so annoyed I left!

Thanks Perdita - I think! :o)

I know who is being referred to and like most of you, that individual annoys the heck out of me! I know it seems weird saying that seeing as I spend tons of money too but I try not to monopolise the goods so that everyone stands a chance of getting what they want! I had to leave the site due to...

I think that tends to happen when they are getting low on stock of a particular item. I have put stuff in my basket and it has been removed after a couple of hours. I have also had stuff stay in the basket for a couple of days.

Which one is Jerrilee? Sorry, I don't watch much any more. I only know Victoria, John, Stacey and Ruth (and maybe a couple of others). What does Jerrilee look like? Also on one of my brief visits there, I saw two new presenters, one male, one female. Both dark haired and both terrible! Who are they?

You seem very passionate about your suggestions - I get that! But to answer your question, I would not just dump chat without doing my homework first. The situation is not black and white. Business has suffered because of inappropriate chat - not chat generally yet it seems clear that the...

I don't think it will monitoring will be as problematic as you might think, particularly now that Rocks has a room for gossiping in. Off topic postings in Rocks chat should start to dwindle sharply and moderators will take care of the rest so long as there are clear posting guidelines for both...

By the way, this post was directed at Meeshoo and Gemdreamer!

I can't say I agree with either of you, although I respect your views. It seems (to me) a bit like using a sledgehammer to smash a walnut to suggest that the chat rooms be done away with entirely in favour of a couple of buttons (I do think the request button is a good idea though), especially...

Oh I agree! Mainly because I missed out on most of the hedgehogs/hedgelets! I only managed to snare a ring and some earrings in Peridot! I wasn't around for the old style auctions but they sound interesting!

Sorry! I wasn't around for that.
