Prize winners

[Cazz]

Having read another thread stating an email is sent if you win a prize, I was a little worried as I won some loose gems the other evening but hadn't received a confirmation email so emailed Tony @ Rocks.tv and he has responded advising that NO confirmation email is sent. Apparently they just keep a record of who has won what - so fingers crossed I get my freebies

Hi CAzz
I won some loose stones earlier this week and didn't receive an email confirmation either.
They arrived yesterday, dropped by delivery guy in the mailbox
I am sure they will turn up soon

 

[Cazz]

Thanks Tia - what are you planning to do with yours?

I don't know, to be honest not a lot I suppose
I am too lazy to take it to jewellers and have it set up into a ring.
Guess it will end up in my jewellery box for an indefinite time:BLING:

I got notification of both my prizes with a zero charge noted

 

[marleybear]

I got an email too saying the charge was £0.00

 

[Cazz]

Well that's really confusing - guess some do get an email and some don't!
I just hope I get my 'prize' gems.

Hi all

I got an email with my amethyst stones,showing charged zero, might depend on who dispatches them. I think I might start a loose gemsone collecton now!!! I think Steve said he was getting the trays and pots in stock.

I got that stone too Julie i think its a tourmaline ? not quite sure either nice stone thought what are you going to do with yours i might see if i can get it set in a ring

I agree it's a lovely stone and we have two local jewellers that make up designs to order, although they are the sort of shops that don't have prices in their windows or websites. I will just admire it for now !!

Looks like a ruby but why not ask. I bought a Rainbow moonstone which looked like an opal when it came so went back and had no sticker on the lickle plassy container..

Think I will just to satisfy my own curiosity.

Let us know, Julie. Is a lovely stone, whatever it is!

Very pretty coloured stone Julie, would be great for you if it was a Rubellite. Hard to see what the size is but guessing
it may be a Rhodolite Garnet........still a great favourite of the Gemsters on here.

Julie - that is gorgeous. I had my prize today and although when they showed them on screen there were five and all looked a decent size ( unless they zoomed in and enlarged them) only three arrived today and they are errrrm how can I put this without sounding ungrateful......minimalistic???

Here they are - crap pic sorry on my mobile but they are next to a 5p coin

They look like chippings from the workshop floor Hampi yiike

Hampy a prize is a prize, but sorry babe, they, to me, are just not worth winning. There WERE five loose gems the prize you won, so why have you been sent 3 chippings?????
Wasn't your prize late turning up and you had to email them about it? if so, its possible that your original prize went elsewhere as it certainly wasn't what you got. I was on the night you won, believe me, you haven't received the prize you won at the time.

You are correct, your prize was at least 5 stones and they were not as small as that. I know this as I remember seeing them and thinking how much I'd have liked to win those as they were stunning.

You are not being ungrateful, they just aren't what you expected.
