How about this for a loads of cods wallop? How are these people not shut down? Their presentations are SOOOOOOOOO misleading.
Talking about the Tsavorite pendant pictured below this is what the presenter said:
"We're handling some of the rarest gemstones in the world here"
"Over half a carat is exciting"
"If you have a 1mm included, pale colour Tsavorite, you should get excited because it's so rare"
"But you're looking at over 4mm here"
"This is very hard for us to find. When we got this, Paul from Thailand said he had so many interested people on the phone lines trying to buy it. When they asked how many mm and guessed at about 2mm, he told them 4mm they were like, WHAT? He's been industry for over 15 years. He hasn't seen Tsavorite like this in 15 years and he's buying gemstones every day. There was an uproar in the industry when he got this in Thailand"
"This is not even at £2k, not £1k, we're at £799"
"Because we've got 14 of them we can go much lower. We can go to £249"
What a load of complete and utter rubbish. 4mm is rare? Mmmmmm I beg to differ!

I really really really object to presenters making such misleading statements and making out that the gemstones at Rocks and Co are rare when they're not.
