“I have ordered from Gemporia since they started albeit i have 'moments' where i order loads and then long periods where i order nothing. Always liked them on the whole but noticing this year more and more items are coming from China. I dont want to buy goods from China so my latest delivery will be going back, which were Visage products. I was also disappointed with a striped jersey i purchased recently from Destello... £40, again made in China and looks like a rag! I will be reviewing whether i buy any more from them. Such a shame. The whole China bias reeks of greed.”
“Same peoples txts shown. All brown nosers. One person in particular "M" buys the presenters jewellery. The presenters have thanked her on air . No wonder she's their favourite. Free jewellery.”
“Rapid delivery, but I had two items cancelled without explanation. Also the magic of television makes certain stones look bigger and/or more translucent than they are. Disappointed at the tiny size and muddiness of the products I bought”
“I bought south sea pearl items 8 months ago, because of Covid I have only worn the necklace, earrings and rings once. The 9ct gold pearl ring has gone a dirty brown colour. Gemporia are saying the guarantee is for 6 months and I bought them 8 months ago. The asked me if I want the gold rhodium plated at the cost of £20! In the past 18 months I have spent over £12,000 with them, but they are not getting another penny, I am appalled. Their after sales care team need a lot of work.”
“The phone lines are rammed. It's going to be a sell out. Then the same product is shown 3 days running. They are dishonest. The silver is cheap. It irritates my fingers. IMO it's that cheap tibetan silver.”
“PESTELLO. As fake as hattie and ellis. Fake gushing, like a broken water main. Fake look of astonishment at the final price. They should win an oscar.”
“Does ellis and co wear this tat. The type A jadeite necklace is so rare. .......so rare in fact it's been on many times I'm sick of seeing it. The chain is gold tone and looks cheap and nasty. The herbal diet pills are dangerous. Cost pennies to make. Anything to line the bennetts pockets.”
“Bought a black diamond ring , it's absolutely beautiful and arrived within 5 days . The only small disappointment is that it didn't come in a ring box as its a gift”
“This company preys on housebound older and disabled persons. I know many pensioners who have become addicted to shopping with this company and think that they are investing for their grandchildren. It's shameful. I have been the recipient of many gifts and the quality is atrocious - the stones fall out, jewellers are unable to resize the rings because the setting of the stones is so poor. Highly unethical company.”
“Dave troth showing his $20,000 Burmese sapphire from the mine. Look at the people in the background wearing rags. Anyone who buys these products should be ashamed of themselves. People exploitation at its worst.”
“Steve, greedy Bennett should send ventilators and other medical equipment to covid ravaged India. He can afford it out of the 37 million he sold one of his companies for.”
“This review is about Visage products. They aren’t bad but are no better than other mid-range products.
What appalls me is that they are made in China. I asked why and the response was:
‘China has some of the world’s best cosmetic labs, which is why many large brands manufacture there. Having looked at working with labs here in the UK, the technology and manufacturing process isn’t as developed, as so much of the worlds’ cosmetics come from this area, it has become a hub of innovation.’
For me, this has no logic. The brand is neither among those that offer advanced production techniques nor is it a top end brand.
Personally, perhaps the worst aspect of these products being made in China is the cost to the planet. The impact of transporting thousands of make up and skincare products from China to the UK must be enormous. Why not get them made in the UK?
Other top brands that have been popular for years do.
Sorry, but I will no longer buy these products.”
“I have been buying jewellery both gold and silver from gemporia for over a year now, I buy to sell on through my business. Every bit of jewelry I have purchased is as stated on the show and website, I have made at least 50% profit on every item.”
