Jade Troth is back

I didn't but know what you mean. Sample images attached from their current stock online of their platinum or 18K range. All have black inclusions, which may be smaller in some than others but you can't "unsee" them.

Not an emerald specialist but I think that there's some truth to the claim that an emerald's "jardin" is part of its charm. However, I wouldn't want to spend four figures on these, however competitively priced. I have a comparatively small 2ct Zambian in 18K from The Outlet that has no black in it. You can get large eye clean emeralds with what the GIA classifies as "insignificant" clarity enhancement but for eye-watering costs and certainly not from Gemporia. You can also get GIA-certified "moderate" enhanced 5ct emeralds set into jewellery for around $8,000.

So I'd probably say that these are expensive at £3500.

Another example of Gemporia's latest trend of thinking that big carat weight = Lorique or high-end stone.

I think those Emerald's are ugly personally (I think Rubies and Emeralds are massively overrated as stones anyway - I'd far rather have a nice Garnet over a Ruby and a Diopside or Tourmaline over an Emerald).

I've never thought much of the quality of Gemporia's emeralds anyway. Even the 'Minas Gerais' and 'Panshir' Emeralds that Jake hyped up as being their best they'd ever had, were average at best in my opinion.

The only Emeralds they've had that I thought looked really nice were the Ethiopian Emeralds. Really clean. Really strong colour. The prices for the first batch they had were really good too considering the quality of the stones. They hiked the price massively though on the 2nd batch they had in.

How about these acrylic beads or toffee gumballs, both for less than £5 of your Earth pounds?!

Be careful you don't eat the beads and thread the gumballs

We call the gob stoppers. A few presenters could make good use of them😇🤣

I call them gob stoppers too. They're huge They were a 'thing' when I was a child, so they were huger then

All of these except the one on the lower left make me drool. I just love emeralds.i got a 3.5ct from them for £550 and i’m happy with it. Not the Cartier we dream of but you can see it’s a nice quality emerald. Etheopian were cheap initially but light like the colombians of late. The Afghanistan ones looked mike kryptonite! I like Zambian and Brazilian best.
