How about an old story, related to Gems, the stone.

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 bought. Postage was £15. Cost of this 'rare jade and silver ring'? (it's description). 80p Guess what? It wasn't jade

Jade is a stone that you have to be VERY careful with when buying. It's one of these easiest and most common stones to create in a lab.

As much as I think Troth's tat is WAY overpriced, I'm also highly suspicious of those 'identical' pieces that people find on eBay and Temu for like £4.

I could tell with my eyes shut it was fake, but it didn't cost the earth: 80p. I'd have died six deaths and some if it were genuine for that price But silliness aside, that too amazes me how 'jade' can be sold for peanuts and other places it is too much.
