I really hope too the gold tone is a C Wagstaff legacy and ditched, not least because it makes you question the value of anything it is set into - I'm amazed Gemporia appears not to understand that customers will make that connection. I know I go on a lot about cheese wire, but 1.25 for a diamond ring does not make sense to me and most people buying diamonds are expecting something special when they receive it and see it in person.
If Gemporia wanted to sell just gemstones, then fine. But they're selling full pieces of jewellery that are labelled "heirloom quality" for "collectors".
They use the word "collectors" precisely because it makes customers feel their repeat purchases are justified. In my view it is exploitative ********
I'm having a rest from Gemporia today. There's only so much I can take before I start getting the urge to throw myself under a bus, or a train.
But not with envy. This must be what Gemporia means by "colour change jewellery"
I didn't catch that but Hattie does like to refer to a very high end jeweller she used to work for the implication being she understands quality when she sees it ... same when she is selling candles and draws on her experience of working for the White Company ...
She speaks so quickly hough that my head tends to be whirring by the end of her shows to the extent I can hardly recollect my own name never mind what was said and why ...
Agree some of this is getting ridiculous now.
Apologies Sazza, was your comment directed at me please? Could I check what is wrong with the various posts so I am clear?
No, it's definitely not you Imogene, it was aimed at a troll who joined the forum a while ago. She spent a few days insulting everyone and then disappeared (hopefully never to be heard from again).
Ah ok, thanks so much for clarifying. I was a bit confused! I must have missed those messages.
No it was not, it was something I said to two other members, one of whom is no longer a member, back in February. If it was directed at you then I would have quoted you.
That was all done and dusted ages ago. Why bring it all back up again now, especially when one of the participants in that brouhaha isn't even a member here any more?
Judging by how Hattie is on screen, I think I can guess why she's no longer working for high end employers.I didn't catch that but Hattie does like to refer to a very high end jeweller she used to work for the implication being she understands quality when she sees it ... same when she is selling candles and draws on her experience of working for the White Company ...
Me too ?????
I have never seen Gemporia on you tube?? I do need to get a life.
In the past they had something called "USA Live Stream" (normal British show with American graphics, e.g. prices in US dollars). They closed it down a while ago. Today they stopped "Gemporia Live Stream" - their standard broadcast (British TV channel). But hey, now it works again.
