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?

I think she has left. She is no longer on the Presenters' list and Stephanie Joseph has been doing her shift. Stephanie said she is now presenting on a permanent basis so I am guessing Rachel is really not returning. I wonder what happened. She left without saying a world. The reality is that...

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

I think it has changed, but for the worse. They are now more repetitive, limited in their variety of gemstones and relying on heavily treated stones than ever. Also, now every stone they sell, however treated, is 'the rarest' and presenters seem to be competing much more to see who shouts and...

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?

Has anyone here watched the new co-host Buddhi, who is usually on our screens on the 10pm shift? I found him impossible to watch. Too stiff and repetitive. What were your thoughts?

According to Lynn, Glenn Lehrer will have no new collections with Gemporia for the time being. If this is not another sign of Gemporia's decline, I don't know what is

Is it just me or 90% of the jewellery they now sell are chains?

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 actually came to this forum to post about this. Toby kept saying it was 'naturally occuring' and 'a new variety', which no doubt added to the confusion of many viewers

Today they were selling a coated topaz ring in sterling silver for 149 pounds. They called it Paraiba colour to justify the price. It's totally insane. But people keep buying, so they are encouraged to continue

Speaking of weights atrociously low, has anyone here seen the Greenland ruby ring with a gold weight of less than a gram (0.93g to be more precise)

Thank you for raising this. I have stopped buying from GC because most of the stones they have been selling for more than 20 pounds can be bought sometimes for 5 quid on eBay and Etsy. The prices have been shocking on GC of late.

Thanks Sazza. I hadn't seen the thread. It's a waste of air time in my opinion but in her defence she only had two items to sell in one hour

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?

Oh, no! I am so sorry to hear that!

That's fair enough. I think I am just impatient. I placed my order on the 20th and I am tired of waiting for it. At least I want to see it on its way. Very silly of me really, as I have to accommodate the delays created by the holidays

I am not particularly impressed with TJC. Despite their claims that they have dispatched my item, Royal Mail still says "sorry we are unable to confirm the status of your item"
