I am not the greatest fan of Czarite, so I wasn't too impressed, but earlier last week they had an Arthur Ivy ruby necklace that was simply ravishing. It was not within my price range, but at least it was fun to gaze adoringly at it. Unless I am mistaken, the Czarite necklaces weren't sold while they were on air. My grandmother asked me why would someone with that kind of money buy from Gemporia rather than designer brands. I wonder if many people asked the same question. For me, the cheap tat devalued their brand and undermined their credibility as a high end jeweller.
I rarely watch the evening show because I am out and about, but yesterday with the heat the only thing I could do was sit in front of the fan, so I caught Adina's show. I was mesmerized by the champagne zircons. I was just intrigued to know whether they looked as good in person as they did inside the light box. Zircon is a tricky stone. It can easily look too dark and only sparkle when exposed to direct sunlight. That was certainly the case with the Umba valley red zircon we bought from Gemporia. They were dark brown and unimpressive. Returned both. Did anyone buy the Kaduna champagne zircon Jewellery?
