Crazy mega haul

[MissMagpie]

I think I'm getting carried away with all these silver days, under £50 days and under £20 days! On the whole I'm not too keen on most of the Iliana and Rhapsody pieces (even if I could afford them) as the designs are too plain and boring, but some of the cheaper items are lovely.

Apart from the necklace and bracelet, all these items were under £50 (and a lot were under £20). Apologies that I'm no good at photos, so links will have to do.

First of all, my tanzanite pieces. Obviously not the world's deepest colour blue, but the cornflower shades wil be lovely for summer and all the stones are very well matched and well cut. (The necklace and bracelet have gone off to be made shorter.)

Multi-gemstone ring - exceptionally classy and looks really expensive (but only cost £29.99): https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=660632

Amethyst and gamet ring, which I was sure I was going to send back (and which I only checked out because there were other items I wanted in my basket), but which is absolutely lovely IRL: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=659904

Multi-sapphire cross pendant - a beautiful piece with much better (and brighter) colours than the photo shows, spaildy and (like almost all these TJC pieces) window-free: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=653268

Apatite and pink sapphire cross pendant - again much better than in the photo: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=659936

Multi gemstone neckalce, which was DEFINITELY going back - until I saw it IRL. The colours look a bit yuck in the photo, but believe me they do work: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=653370
`
Tsavorite gamet ring - the most amazing deep, intense green (which looks more like Russian diopside and I wonder if TJC could have made a mistake): https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=664816

Amethyst earrings: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=663479

Pink sapphire earrings - the only one of my 'keepers' which I found slightly disappointing, since the sapphires are not perfectly colour-matched and do have small windows. Not really worth £39.95, and of course earrings are non-retumable. Never mind; they are pretty and I will wear them: https://www.thejewellerychannel.tv/popups/viewdetail.aspx?StockCode=659881

What a greedy little birdy (not that I can talk, I've got a super bulging basket building up on t'other side). You'll have the poshest nest in the forest though (or at least for the time being!) <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNxpt484YYGB%2526i%253D16%252F16%255F8%255F3%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_8_3.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D16%252F16_8_3%2526uiv%253D3.0/image.gif"></a> xxxxx

I'm waiting for some tsavorite earrings to arrive, hope they look as good as that ring MissM

 

[Greenie]

Wow! What a great haul! Tanzanite necklace looks lovely and so's the matching bracelet. But it's the Tzavorite ring which I love most.

 

[Beady Belle]

What a fab haul Miss M, and although the Tanzy isn't the deepest colour, they are absolutely beautiful. My Mum recently bought a big Tanzy ring on one of their 'Under' days, and the colour is really lovely for the money.

 

[MissMagpie]

Thanks for the compliments, guys...

For those interested in the tanzy, I think all those pieces are still available on the web. The necklace (last one left I believe) is £299 on the web (which is better than the on air price of £349), and the bracelet is £99 (which again I think is cheaper than on air). In fact there are identical bracelets online with different item codes at £199 and £149 respectively, so make sure you get the right one!

Wow lovely haul Miss Magpie. These are the type of crosses I was meaning in my other post, they're really lovely. Well done on all of your purchases.

 

[nannieA]

Really great haul MissM,I too have done a bit of shopping and bought some pink saph earrings which are very cloudy and not well matched,I really do wish they would put their earrings in sealed bags so they could be returned. It puts me off buying any more from them.

 

[MissMagpie]

Yes, that's a real pain about the earrings - I'm an "earring person", but I daren't buy them from TJC unless they're real cheapies as they're non-refundable.

Someone should really challenge them on their earring policy - they say it's for hygiene reasons, but no other shopping channel has that problem, so it seems more like a way of preventing people from returning things.

Who would I need to complain to to get this investigated - Trading Standards?

 

[jacqualina]

You have really surpassed yourself on this haul MissM. I'm drooling over that tanzy necklace and can't believe the price of most of the pieces. I always seem to miss their 'under' days, maybe I should rearrange things so I can catch one!

 

[MissMagpie]

Thanks, jacqualina!

Tanzy necklace still available on the web at the time of writing...
