    Gemporia still sinking

    Sorry if I have missed this, but has Charlie Barron actually explained why he is no longer working with Gemporia?

    What does Gems do to it's presenters?

    Yes I know but when she was on something she didn't feel confident on, she would flounder. Anyhow happy to see her looking so well and really sparkling in her new job

    What does Gems do to it's presenters?

    Just caught Amelia Grant on QVC and it is like a different woman! She is talking clearly, her sales patter makes sense and is an absolute pleasure to watch. Seems.like leaving Gemporia is the answer! 🤣

    I noticed one name popping up as a purchaser on all of the items I watched this morning (about 5).😠

    Dave the jadeite man

    Dave and Cherry claiming this is the end of it.... With at least another hour of jade coming up #dullsville Seriously it is around payday for most people - Gems should be nailing a wide range of designs and pricepoints

    Dave the jadeite man

    I know this is about Jade, but I bought a piece of Sakura Agate from Gemporia last year off one of Dave's presentations - sent it back because obviously the piece I received was 50 Shades of Meh. For the same price I bought 4 pieces from Etsy all of which genuinely look like they have blossom...

    Coronation presentation by Jake

    I noticed one of the pieces on that was a jewelled orb. Had a startling resemblance to the trademarked Vivienne Westwood logo. Do hope no intellectual property lawyers are watching...

    Gemporia - struggling financially?

    They use the word "collectors" precisely because it makes customers feel their repeat purchases are justified. In my view it is exploitative bullshit

    Burmese gemstones

    Weren't they still doing Russian diamonds even after the invasion? I get they were purchased prior to that, but to openly cite their provenance proudly seemed a bit tone death.

    I am starting to think Dave is in the control of a triad gang 🤔

    All the while comparing it to something 50 times or more the carat weight sold at Bonham's 😆

    Dave the jadeite man

    I got a pineapple slider necklace a couple of years ago from Gemporia. Was concerned about the Flash, but thought the plating would last the summer at least. started to wear through after a couple of wears, despite being careful.

    Gemporia's Biggest Problem

    I have always assumed they pick out the best stones to show on air. Particularly stones like Ruby in Zoisite or Sakura Agate - I have never got a piece as nice as those on screen. I understand these are natural stones but you do want some of the characteristics that give them their name!

    Gemporia's Biggest Problem

    I think a big problem with this is that most of the current designs won't appeal to a younger audience

    Gemporia's Biggest Problem

    Too much gold tone. It feels like a complete swizz as it limits the life of the jewellery. Plus there are loads of designs that would look better in plain silver. Gold tone is such a weird colour it always looks cheap

    Somebody please buy Adina a dictionary

    The pronunciation of briolette has been all over the shop. I know it is hard to keep talking but if the VT with Jake has just been on with the right pronunciation, how hard is it to get it right?

    If Gemporia wants to survive...

    This morning I couldn't get the website to load - assumed they had gone kaput!
