I agree about the ligt box, it does make you questioin why the item is not being shown in the flesh, so to speak. Also about the talking incessantly, often about nothing to do whatsoever with the piece they are selling. When they do wheelie hours, they rabbit about the item but the camera is still showing the wheel and you get to little, sometimes no shot at all of the piece, yet people are still buying.
Monday nights on Lifestyle are a laugh - refurb hours! I mean wth? The wheel is sold out, usually completely before the hour begins, without even seeing items at all. You can change your mind if you decide against a piece but there is this wierd frenzy to secure your piece first. By the way, what is refurb all about? These items have poor metal work or damaged stones, chips in them, earrings that are not matched pairs, pearls and stones of different colours. There is nothing refurbished about them at all. Refurbishment is when a faulty item has been repaired / rectified (or am I wrong?) but this is just second rate tat being sold as seen. Shoud be illegal under the trades descriptions act.
Last week, Jake Thompson-Bennett was whipping viewers into a frenzy over a show called "pearls by appointment". Constant references to famous pearls of course and HM the queen and her pieces, exquisite. Then, he peddles Gemporia's offerings. Pearls were set in 9ct gold, low gold weights, naturally. The pearls, instead of being professionally drill set and secure, were glued in-place! Would Lizzie II or any other lady of discernment have glued pearls in their collection, erm.. probably not. Yet of course, the hyped-up audience were snapping them up, lunacy imo. I genuinely feel sorry for the customers who find their pearls are missing, dropped out because Gemporia can't be arsed to set them properly.
Has Kate McCarthy lost the plot? I used to like her but over the last few months if I catch her hours, she annoys the heck out of me. She keeps saying "hello, hello, hello" to the pieces and even saying "she", personifying the jewellery. That and the constant hair flicking / fiddling. She is not alone in that habit, Adina is always fiddling too. Tie the sodding hair up! I tie my long locks up for work, it wouldn't do to be messing with it all night.
Anyway, I have vented and it feels good lol. xx
) The next box was 40% off but to be honest, the silver bracelet they were selling was only worth what the eventual price was anyway. I wouldn’t say it was in any way exciting or a great deal, not the ones I’ve seen anyway , no wonder there’s not many takers.
