Jacqualina, your ring was the bargain of the year and I'm sure Mad's right that they are loss leaders, which is why I've gone to extraordinary lengths to try and get the one I want from R&C.
To be fair to Gemstv, they did have an 11+ carat pendant on for just over £2000, which IMO is a good price and a little less than I paid for my 10 carat one when they were going cheaper - although I only saw it on the web as I was watching Silent Witness so I don't know how good it was in the flesh and it looked a bit pale and windowed IIRC on the vid :blush:
IW have a Tanzanite 1, 4 day deal coming up and although their AAA earrings seem a not too bad price (possibly their own loss leader), compare like for like carat weight rings on there and check out what they are charging for them :gasp: I have bought from IW in the past and been delighted with their quality, but cannot justify paying those prices for small stones :sorry:
