Despite criticisms, I still watch Rocks & Co and I buy from them, as they have some stunning deisgns and a great variety of gesmtones. Some of their prices are reasonable once more, while others remain astronomic. But I was horrified when a demantoid garnet recently went to £1,499 and one of the presenters described it as a "stocking filler price".
Pardon?! Even had it been the bargain of the century, £1,499 would not be a stocking filler price for the vast majority of viewers of this channel - maybe it would be for Colleen Rooney (if she's watching), but not for the rest of us. Sure there is clearly a market for it - it was a very pretty ring, and I think someone did buy it - but R&Co risk losing customers if they send out the message that the channel is primarily aimed at those for whom 1.5k is small change.
