I was skipping through the channels earlier this evening, (well, you know I like to get my exercise) and I popped briefly onto Gems, where Ruth was auctioning a pearl necklace, and was astonished to hear her say, "Now, I've got a three strand pearl necklace, but it isn't real, and my boyfriend hates it because it's not genuine, but this is genuine, real pearls..."
Sorry, but I don't think that's a particularly good advertisement for Gems. She's saying that she works for a jewellery company, where she'll get discounts, yet she wears fake pearls. Had I been a brand new potential customer I would have been left wondering about that. It's not as if she said that she's got real pearls as well as the faux variety, and that there's no comparison - that would have made sense, but this was a bit 'owzyerfather in terms of attracting new buyers IMO.
