About 18 months ago I purchased a set of matching earrings and necklace by Crowns & Regalia from Bid (white and cobalt blue stones) with p & p etc this came to around £30. Its actually quite beautiful and I've worn it on several occasions.
Imagine my surprise, when on a recent cruise with Cunard (Queen Victoria actually), I saw displayed in their abortively expensive on-board shops, the very same set of earring, necklace plus brooch !
I was even further floored when I saw their prices. .... in dollars, the necklace was $175, the earrings were $45 - so convert that to sterling, and yes the price was mind boggling. There is a ring at $49 and a brooch at $70.
Its my intention to write to the Chief Exec of Cunard, because they are making mega bucks in comparison to what a discount shopping channel is offering.
