Jade Troth is back

[TheManWithNoName]

And an Ellis candle and diffuser for ambiance (and because there was too much stock)

And some Kimbie slippers with a pearl dangling from them

Plus a 'Designer' Destruction (sorry, Destello), scarf and poncho, for a bit of extra warmth.

So he can be found quickly when needed on air?

Speaking of Jade I found it interesting to see the difference in prices between products on Gemporia and very similar products on TJC. It's horrible watching Dave selling his tat. We know the same stuff is often available on Etsy or Temu at a fraction of the cost - and we also know people are buying from him.

I’ve never been one to trust items from Etsy (unless they come with a CoA from a reputable lab), and especially not from platforms like Temu or AliExpress. Jade is one of the easiest and most commonly lab-created stones - and the Chinese are not the most trustworthy either.

However, I do trust Gem Select - a very reputable seller. They offer Jadeite at a fraction of Troth's prices, so if they can do it, there’s no reason why Troth shouldn’t be able to as well.

Take this for example. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but this carved Elephant is just £8.83p

Jadeite carving on GemSelect

The 'carving' quality of this elephant is up there alongside some of Gem Collector's recent 'master carvings' (ie, crude, but OK for a 'cheap' stone).

I'd bet that something similar on Gem Collector would be priced at at least £50 if some of their other recent tacky 'carvings' are anything to go buy.

Yes, that would add the final touch of class (and heaven alone knows how much he needs a touch of class....)

Easy he doesn't want to! He gets more money this way which is what he wants! Hard faced doesn't cover him.
