As promised in the Csarite thread, I said I would do a write up after my visit to the mine in Turkey ……. So here it is! First of all, I have to say a HUGE thank you to Steve Bennett for making the arrangements. The day at the mine was one I will never forget. It was a superb experience not...

I am totally into Jewellery Maker at the moment - new addiction! I never liked Lucy on the Gems channels but OMG she is superb on JM. Really really lovely. To me, she's like the Angeline equivalent on Gems ie she can sell me anything! Consequently, I'm now surrounded by beads, thread, wire...

Angeline has a lot to answer for because I always buy when she's on! She saved me a fortune when she went on maternity leave! Let's hope she gets preggers again soon :clapping: Okay, first one ............. I don't know why but I have a "thing" about flower designs. I also like brown...

I am delighted to tell you that Gemcherub has given birth to a precious and beautiful little boy! Morgan arrived at 13.07pm on 19th April weighing a dinky 6lbs 15oz. Mum, Dad and baby Morgan are all well and enjoying their first few days as a family. Please join me in sending heartfelt...

I know her name? Who is she? Was she with GemsTV before? Anyway, I don't really care but PLEASE WILL SHE NOT SHOUT and spout rubbish about "speaking to the producer to see what she can do for us!" Ugh, please! I've turned over because her internal volume control is clearly not working...

I'm really struggling when watching GemsTV at the moment because of the lighting. Has anybody else noticed how everything (and I don't mean the graphics) look overly pink and awash with bright colours - and when you see the presenter from afar, the bright white light shining on their hand is...

Ok - never one to shy away from a challenge, I've decided to have a go at making a necklace! I recently broke my favourite haematite necklace so need something black. Have decided that I'll use either Obsidian or Haematite and mix with silver (pearls or something) and want to make the twisty...

Lovely jewellery makers - please can you help? For Mother's Day, my 8 year old daughter made me the most beautiful wooden beaded necklace that will look wonderful in summer. However, she's threaded it on some purple stretchy thin nylon thread of some kind (the sort that you get in cheaper...

Anybody else experiencing this? Last night I tried to bid on something but it said I had to log in. I logged in and went back to the auctions to see "please log in to bid" and basically I kept going round and round in a loop! I gave up and switched off thinking that today it would be ok...

I promised to post photos and a review of my ring when it arrived so here goes! Review:- Pros: 1. The cutting is really gorgeous and the topaz performs well in all lighting conditions (inside with lights and outside in daylight) 2. The colour of the blue topaz is very very very lovely 3...

So for the first time I manage to see a Glenn Lehrer show. I fall in love with the amethyst gents ring and as it can be sized down I decided to get it for myself. I put it in my basket, IMMEDIATELY the auction has finished, I go in to check out my basket and it's not in there (despite having...

I've just been watching for an hour - bored on a Sunday, you know how it is! - and I am literally floored by the prices! I know gold prices have soared but seriously every single one of the pieces has been incredibly over-priced. "Prinneu Tourmaline" which is no nicer than normal green...

After my rant the other day about presenters just saying "wow" and spouting inane rubbish, I've been watching Steve Bennett present and OMG what a difference. He's been really informative and it's been an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you Steve!

What a dreadful presenter. Apparently a green tourmaline ring being sold for £129 has the finest tourmaline money can buy! GIVE ME A BREAK. I hate, with a passion, over-stated over-hyped inaccurate rubbish. While I'm having a moan, I have to say that I have recently returned to watching...

I haven't seen this "live" and was wondering if anybody had any photos/thoughts to share? The only ones left on the website appear to be citrine and topaz - were there other gemstones in the collection?

I was watching the other day and this bracelet caught my eye: http://www.gems.tv/Jewellery/Peridot-Pewter-Bracelet-ATGW-5.39cts/Design-ZCPS35.aspx It arrived this week and it's gorgeous :heart: I only glimpsed it on Steve's wrist when he was presenting and much as I love Steve, I'm not sure...

Get the product information and / or video if it's the last one and on order for you? I want to see the details again but can't access them. Thanks in advance.

Just received an email advertising Steve's new adventures to Mozambique. You'd think they'd spell his surname right wouldn't you? :cheeky:

Rae at 16.57 today showing item QOPS92 said "I am not for one moment comparing this Emerald to the Emeralds you can buy on the High Street" and then went on to say how much better this Emerald was than what could be bought elsewhere! :down: I'm sorry but that's incredibly misleading (a)...

I'm a fan of drusy and decided to buy several sets to choose from. I've got to say that I love them but one set will, I think, be going back. I wondered before I reveal which one that would be, if you had to choose, which one (or two) would you keep and why? The colour choices are white, grey...
