I'm watching Angeline present her new collection, its not for me, but the stones are nice. I just wonder why they decided to put it all in that gold plating.
If you buy a gold-plated item, you can ask your local goldsmith to remove the overlay from the silver surface.For me, I keep seeing things that I would buy if only they were set in silver. The gold overlay looks tacky. It doesn't even look like real gold, it's too yellow looking. Some gems I really think look better in silver
I didn't know this. Thank you!If you buy a gold-plated item, you can ask your local goldsmith to remove the overlay from the silver surface.
You're welcome.I didn't know this. Thank you!
I think all of the plated junk is Colin's 'legacy'. TJC sold plated jewellery galore on Colin's watch - and Gemporia hardly did any plated jewellery before Colin went there - and then they switched to doing more plated jewellery than anything else.I can't understand why some of it wasn't in silver, rather than that gold (yellow) coating that seems to be on everything they are selling right now.

Hopefully once they've shifted everything left in stock, they revert back to predominantly Gold and Silver jewellery again.
It was nice to see Jim on again. As for Jade Troth, he just loves being on telly. I saw him years ago doing a Wallace & Gromit sketch - badly! Would you believe it, he was trying to be funny! Obviously that didn't work!
