    OMG Gemstone Globes

    Such as these on eBay at prices ranging from £12 to £200+? ...and more...

    Ludicrous Prices

    I wouldn't worry. Paula Vennells seems to be at a loose end right now. I'm sure she'll be able to lend a hand with straightening things out.

    Ludicrous Prices

    I know pearls aren't your thing but this makes me sad & cross. I see there's a "naturally coloured white" pearl thing on Gemporia website. I thought this weasel wording stank to high heaven but this is just farcical.

    Ludicrous Prices

    It's mad. Take these two. Both same type of pearl, one vermeil, one gold plated. One £46, one £247 and that's in a "Pay Day Sale". It's like two petrol stations near me. Bonkers.

    Gemporia still sinking

    Yeah but almost anything can be deadly, directly or indirectly, immediately or accumulatively, if you are bonkers enough and go out of your way to ingest it. It's not as if TGGC is selling anything from the asbestos group of minerals. Heck, eat enough 9K gold rings and you might start to feel...

    Mabe pearls

    Gemporia's website says that Tanzanite was discovered by Manuel de Sousa on July 7th 1967 (although that's a Graham-Bell, Edison type "discovery" - someone else recorded a finding much earlier. Gemporia really need to update this and correct their video adverts.). Tiffany started selling in...

    Nice to hear. Truly.

    "House of Kimbie" - Ellis, really?

    Don't say that! The unsold stock will now be appearing on GC in the Fall, with star spangled banner bunting at an unmissable saving of £99.

    Colourful Life

    Totally dispassionately, I think that is correct. The similarities are there, right down to the manipulation of your emotions. Like tolerating a loved one's quirks that you wouldn't put up with in anyone else, you just have to pick your own scams carefully.

    My kingdom, my kingdom for a Portuguese cut colour shift diaspore. My indifference, my indifference for a Portuguese cut clear quartz. (What was that about? Jaipur testing a new jig?)

    Jess Foley

    Dear Jess Firstly, the three wick giant candle you are selling is not a "candelarium" or even a "candelabra". Null pointes. Secondly, the damn word is "obElisk", not "oblisk". And no, it's not cool. It's not "language evolving". It's just wrong. Yours sincerely (although if I put "Yours...

    Rocks & Co & Zultanite: Cut might be part of it. I might be wrong here but I really think it's down to the precise colour of the gem material being used and the weight. I think there's a video of Ruth with Murat, in which he says that the larger the piece, the more pronounced the colour...

    Jade Troth is back

    I understand that. I have one large baroque pearl, undoubtedly treated, and I like it. It's been sympathetically set as a dragon, wrapped around it's egg, in a heavy, oxidised silver design. Gothic, for sure, but I love it. I also have a very large natural South Sea pearl. That's not...

    Colourful Life

    About twenty years ago, I was told that there was a view (in one of the larger, older charities) that a fundraising campaign that netted £0.01 for every £1.00 donated was worthwhile. Isn't this akin to what the American judicial system calls "Noble Corruption"? I'm not sure in how many other...

    Angelina's pushy again

    Made me laugh. Angeline: "Went to use Nick's car. He had no bags and I can't, will not buy any more plastic"... 🤔

    Jade Troth is back

    Yep. Right now, the overnight repeats have nine designs on sale. All have three or more items in stock (three being the maximum in one checkout for most auctions), except one ring, which had two remaining (rings checked on size N/O only).

    Somebody please buy Adina a dictionary

    Turkwaaz? I'm off to Paree on the choo-choo to source some high end bling from Gemporia's contacts on the Place de Vendome. Someone needs a slap! 🙃

    Shades of pearls? My a*se. In Willy Wonka's factory, maybe.

    I bought one. From the House of Lindor. Lovely.
