Dear Mr Hughes
You are highly respected in the gemstone industry and I don't believe you would ever knowingly allow misrepresentation. Therefore I am appealing for you to clarify the following:-
- Are the Tahitian Pearls that GemsTV sell totally natural i.e. free of any type of enhancement?
The GemsTV gemstone enhancement guide on the website clearly states:-
Pearl, Natural and Cultured
All varieties, including mother-of-pearl
FD/L–S - Dyed to improve colour. May include use of coloured nuclei and/or heat
B/L - Bleached to improve colour and appearance
C/M - Coated to improve appearance
I/S - Irradiated to improve colour
You will appreciate that this is at odds to the information given by presenters who go to great lengths to tell us that the Tahitian Pearls are untreated. I will be delighted to hear that the Tahitian Pearls are natural. Although I have bought mine assuming some form of treatment. If the TPs sold by GemsTV are natural then perhaps the enhancement page could be rectified? If perhaps some, but not all, Tahitian Pearls are natural, this might be worth stating?
If they are treated in any way then perhaps you could clarify this with the presenters who state on air vociferously that the TPs are natural and untreated.
Your clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Yours, with respect.
