Haven't been on here in ages, and had 'cured' myself of the gems habit some months back, but found myself tuning in today when was at a loose end. There's a presenter on called Rachel who is a stunning - looking girl,but when I close my eyes, I hear Adina -the gasps, the throaty chuckling...

:flower: I know there are some problems and grumbles which people use this forum to express, and I admit I have sometimes been a little dissatisfied with items, quality or service, which has put the reins on my previous regular gems /rocks shopping habit. However, I was tempted by the clearance...

I may be imagining it -and I'm sure you'll all tell me if I am - but have things in presenter-land quietened somewhat? Watched Carol for a while today, and she was much calmer, and I'm finding Jenny quite easy to listen to. Makes listening with the sound up more likely -although only for a...

Anything I've ever bought from Rocks had a RRP tag attached, with an astronomical price on it, and any time I claimed a price pledge it was always in the form of a credit on the Rocks account, so it looks like that system is now being used at Gems as well. Not sure about you question about...

thanks to both beading belle and loobi for the supportive replies to my post. Isn't it horrible when something you held in high regard and of which you tried to be supportive in the face of criticism lets you down and proves the critics correct..... Can't believe things have gone downhill so...

have read the increasingly negative comments recently about returns and damaged goods with some scepticisn - everything has always been good for me, and I've never returned anything in the 5 years I've been shopping with gems / rocks. In January I ordered a lovely turquoise Tookalon bracelet...

A search facility in the shop /coloured rocks site would be good. Once you've clicked on a particular collection, there's no sense of order to the items being displayed, and you can't narrow your search to a particular stone or type of item -this is frustrating if you're searching for a certain...

he could also benefit from a few spelling lessons by the look of his posts!!

Should have waited till this morning and I wouldn't have needed to wonder where Liv was!! That quote Ben posted was typical of that particular charming presenter -glad he's gone! Vicki Carr is on Rocks today and Rae was on gems earlier -thought they weren't shifting them around? ( a query, not a...

I may have missed her on screen, but haven't seen Liv since the change of management, nor the delightful James. Have they gone? Glad to see Drew back - very easy to listen to.

Have to agree - it's not easy to stand up against something on your own, and in the current economic climate, who seriously wants to put their job on the line.

Derek is on another channel promoting cruises -there's an item on the news page about it. Can't remember the channel name! Agree he was v. watchable - despite the hairy hands!!

:grin: GREAT to hear the original gems music back - first step in the right direction!

Turquoise all the way -nothing more summery!!

Think I've managed to work out how to post the pics! The prices on these are wrong, and I used the 7% voucher too, so paid much less. Here goes with the pics I hope!!! http://www.gemstv.co.uk/shop-detail.jsp?product=UWM1130&category=clearance&colourScheme=9...
