Another ASA referral

[Ant7t]

I'd rather have a really nice Garnet for a fraction of the price. Garnet is a much nicer stone, and very affordable.

I have to say, I am fond of Garnets myself. And not just coz it's my birthstone. And as I'm here, I will comment on what's on now. Kate has just finished selling a ruby and pearl pendant. Question. Do you think she should have said this? > Paraphrase of course. Doesn't this remind you of Gemporia of old? < Does that imply she thought the 'of old' was better quality?

It does make you wonder what they think deep down, hidden behind the faux shock faces and constant hyping everything up.

I wonder if she was referring to the prices more than the quality? Gemporia have always sold mostly filled Rubies of cloudy 'clarity' that are purplish-red in colour, rather than 'pure' red - even back in their 'peak' days.
