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.

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.

Someone messaged DT while he was on air to say that her heart was pounding off her chest as she prepared to buy a jade bangle. Is this normal?

It's a bit over the top. Oooooo, I'm having a funny turn coz I'm buying a bit of rock.

It still amazes me how a torch helps sell things.

:p

Are they serious? A £399 item and someone is buying six??

They get some bizarre messages when DT is on - usually fawning, in a very OTT manner, over whatever he's flogging. They always seem to say "sent 10 seconds ago" or other similar, extremely quick time too.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence though............

To be fair, I bought two pieces of Troth's bird s**t grey Jadeite once.

I dangled one from Portland Bill, took a photo, put it on eBay, and I got four times what I paid for it.

When I sell the second one, I'm going to go one further by dangling it from Eddystone Lighthouse. I'm hoping to get six times what I paid for it on that occasion.
