Everybody loves DT, but that aside, do 'you' still like Jade or has he killed it for you? No, I'm not on about the multiple 'versions' he comes out with every time he's on air: you know the ones, I'm on about the 'basic' Jadite and Nephrite. I do still like it as a stone, I have both varieties...

A bitsa this and a bitsa that. Partly coz I can't remember where I saw the things that sparked the thought. (I say thought, coz I I thought of one on my own ;) ) Bit the first. The advert about keeping things in your basket otherwise someone will take it out of your basket and you will miss...

This is more of an inquiry, as opposed to a giant thread. 100 years ago, when SB had a stake in the Oregon Sunstone, Plush Diamond and its various other names, I understand Glenn had a stone named after him. I think I saw it on screen once. Just wondered, if it was permanently named after him...

I have not really gone off Gemporia and it's 'kids'. I still buy. But what I have gone off is their sales tactics. IF the items were so wonderful (ignoring if they are actually decent), why would they insist on all the hype? They should sell on their own merits, not because they are drowned in...

Gosh, I'm good at repeating myself, but in this instance, there's a point to it. Since 'at least' 2016, when I officially started buying, (when I used to watch prior to that, it was half-hearted: aka never really took much notice of the selling), I have never seen a 'successful' sale of Arthur...

Open the hour with a statement. IF you only want to shop this hour, please come back in 30 mins. If you want an explanation of the hour, feel free to stay for the full show.

I miss Gem Auras. Although long term, it got very airy-fairy: even if you believe in that kinda thing (so not rubbishing it for those that do). But, it outshines Kimbie by a long stretch. It had / has an air of sophistication, over an air of cheap and cheerful with 'high emphasis' on Cheap.

Did someone say I'm repeating myself? No? Yes? Yes, I am. But another post with no expectancy of huge responses. Just checked and my first purchase was a Chrome Diopside ring on the 22 Jan 2016. You know FB has a memories thing. I saw one on mine from 2017, complaining about all the waffle...

I love my little annoyances: and dare I say, the list is getting longer. ;) They are 'oversubscribed' / 'over allocated', and yet they, in the same breath, say the last 3....... or whatever. IF they are still available, how can they be oversubscribed? If they are over allocated, why stay on the...

Being serious: ignoring 'certain' presenters, or presenters in general, of late, but can anyone think of anything 'nice' to say about Gemporia and it's babies? Maybe back in the day, but not so much now. But try, just for a bit of positivity ;) I can't think of anything off the top of my head...

I remember being told, back in the day, on the various channels that belong(ed) to Steve, that ALL gemstones are rare. Except: Csarite, Nilimani, Conch Shell, that VERY rare stone that comes in shades of green. I may be wrong, but I 'think' it's called Jade, but I may be wrong. ;) Something that...

This is how far I have come. Remember I mentioned ebay? No? Well, I did. I went through a phase of buying jewellery from it when I first joined way back. I suppose this could be related to Gemporia too ;) So, I've been having a bit of a clear out. I found the invoice for a JADE and silver ring I...

Where it says on the messages, 'collector', since I've been here, and read about a 'same name' person posting basically the same thing for multiples. Could some of those 'collectors' be plants: like the fake reviews you find here there and everywhere?

I've just wandered over to the JM forum to see it seems to have very little new posts, and as it's related to Gems, I'll ask here. I used to buy a fair bit off JM, but haven't done so for a while (except for the once recently). So, my inquiry is, does JM seem to be falling as quickly as...

Just a throw away comment. If, as it seems Gemporia is going downhill 'fast', where does its charity stand? Don't often hear about it now, well, not as much as it used to be talked about.

I see clearance has been mentioned in the QVC forum, but haven't 'done' QVC for years, so here I will put it. When it comes to clearance, assuming it's genuine, like a sale every other day being the best sale ever in the year so far: until the next one :P But, does a clearance come through...

Just perusing Gemporia and saw a Chakra bracelet for sale. Puts me in mind of a Gem Auras purchase. Like it for 'stones', 'spiritual' or otherwise, is not the point of my mini post. I bought ages back an advent calendar 'by' GA. It was obviously the individual stones with a stretchy bracelet of...

Again, no amount of response expected, but just a daft comment for ya. Saw earlier on Gems, Primal selling the pepper turmeric fizzy tablets. I've bought those in the past. I sent a message saying, I like them, but have to drink with a straw: orange mustache. They didn't put that comment up, as...

In my comparatively short time (2016 if you don't know) of buying from Gemporia, longer, watching. I think, it's a shame to actually 'see' the company go down hill, well, the group. Each birthday with seems to go on forever, as they have a day per year, I am surprised they are still 'here'.
