“If I could give a negative it would be -5*. The jewellery is cheap and nasty under 10 under 20 should be in pence not pounds. Bought all Lorique in the past many were scratched stones due to poor cheap labour setting gems. But my main concern is with trustpilot reviews those can't be real, those are being completed by a sweat shop in the warehouse of gemporia towers more like. Destello items on Internet for half of the price and all shipping from China. All I can say is its a sinking ship with abominable customer service to once loyal customers think before you buy is my advice you can get most of the junk they are selling in the costume jewellery section of any High Street once they're open and you can be guaranteed a hassle free return without footing postage charges”

“I have shopped with Gemporia for about 7 years. I liked the company up until this past year. I had a horrible time returning items. I had tracking that showed that they made it to the returns department in New York, but since CoVid had much of New York shut down, Gemporia couldn't find my items. When they finally got them, they did not honor the return. Instead of refunding my money, they gave me credit in my account. I was very disappointed. I will not shop with them again.”

“I am very disappointed in Gemporia lately. They sand cracked gemstone where The item was probably returned by customers 100 times ( Gemporia would not reimburse on shipping, they will claim that it is part of inclusions. Really? I can see cracks without a loop. Also, each time I send the item back; I have to bag them for my money. I do leave post office receipts with trucking all the time since Gemporia does not want to give a refund. In addition to all that, I found out that some items that they have on action, have higher pricing then on there website. The website has cheaper price then action; with it said, they will not honor the cheaper price even thought I send them screen shot email. They gave me lousy excuse because they do not want to change to a cheaper price. Even if it is listed on their website. They want to make more money with the scan they running on. Consumer please be aware before you buy something from them. I am attaching picture taking minuets after one another between placing on order online and their website”

“Black opal necklace starting to crumble. The tv samples of anything are much larger than the items received. As for the presenters, they are so fake. "Amazing, sublime ". Ellis, hattie, jess and angeline are the worst. As for Ruth and her SAUSAGE. Shut bloody up!!!!!!!”

“Visage Mascara not fit for purpose! I am absolutely gutted as I like and believed the presentation that was previously showed on TV with Katie and Hattie! The mascara they both used looked nice and wet and covered their eyelashes like they stated in one sweep. The Mascara I received was dry as sticks, I sweat me eyelashes numerous times and ended up with dry bits on the end of lashes and spidery looking lashes! Not impressed, the Mascara is definitely old stock has all dried out! I did look at the end of date and all I.can assume is that old Mascaras are being placed in new packaging, if this is the case then shame on you! As for your Visage Fix Perfect, this has no moisturising properties and feels and acts like water! So I for one will no longer be using Visage products, what a shame, I was so hopeful your products would work Katie!”

“Ridiculous treatment. Issue after issue. Took money then denied it, I sent screenshot of bank and suddenly money was put back. Then tried to say the issue was at my side, despite it being theirs! I’d ordered 3 rings as presents at one price, the price went up on their side and suddenly I ran into issues... highly do not recommend”

“Lately the ring sizes are not correct. I have had to order ring size T/U whereas whereas P/Q or R/S would definitely fit. I think they are deliberately sending wrong sizes out so that Customers will pay to have their rings resized! Most rings on sale are sizing L/M or N/O, this is unfair. Even the Jewellery being sold on TV Live have virtually no large sizes! Also the amount of gold on the rings if resized would snap! Something is not right and I shall be visiting my local Jewellery shop when it is safe to prove this matter. I see the Ombudsman in my future!”

“Purchased 9k gold diamond bracelet - diamonds graded as I3 and self - certified by Gems.(£599) On arrival the diamonds were appalling,not one sparkle and grey in colour.They were so bad they should not have been used for anything other than industrial diamonds! I returned it 7 days ago and had to phone them to confirm delivery.Now have to wait for refund. Never again - and I mean it this time! Just an aside -Trustpilot feedback is not always independent. Also be suspicious of too much praise on any website”

“We, my wife and I, have purchased jewellery from this company from day one, along with other jwewllery channels. But over the years, we have found the best quality of precious metals and gem stones to be provided by Gemporia. We have only ever had one issue over the years and that was a 10kt gold opal ring, where the opal had a scratch on it. After a pleasent phone call with customer services, within a week we had received a perfect replacement and an apology. These days, since 2014, from watching Lynn Jinks on the Lounge, we started to collect loose gem stones. Our first loose stone was a 2ct Russian Diopside. Since then we have purchased many loose gemstones from Gem Collector. We are more than happy with all our purchases and how any queries have been dealt with by customer service staff. In our opinion they are second to none as even the customer services staff seem very qualified in precious metals and gem stones. We agree many of the presenters have left over the years and some are active now on other jewellery channels but learnt their trade on Gemporia. Won't mention names but those who have been collecting jewellry/gem stones for a long time as we have will know who we mean. All in all, with our own personal experience Gemporia and Gem Collector are the best jewellery and loose gem stone channels on air and you get an authenicity card as proof of the location the stone came from and any enhancement, if any, the stones may have received. Also all the precious metals we have bought are fully hall marked.Both the precious metals and gem stones are ethically sourced and not purchased by a gem hunter from a man in a tree house as they are on some other jewellery channels. Check out gem hunters on You Tube for yourselves. Good luck with all your purchases whoever you decide to purchase from, but as we've stated, in our opinion Gemporia is the best online jewellery and loose gem stones channel out there. God bless you all and please stay safe.”

“Received item as a gift from friend, it was still sealed in unopened box. Upon opening the item was broken. Didn't want to disappoint the friend by letting her know the gift arrived broken, especially as she is shielding, so contacted them directly. Have sent them photo and all the relevant details but they are not prepared to help. Don't bother with them.”

“Very disappointed by the quality of the products they sold. They magnify the items on the screen but when you get you need a magnifying glass to see the size of the stone or beads, don’t mention the material used. Its cheap and nasty. I don't know why the authorities are not taking any actions”

“I returned two orders to them in the same package. they had the items 7 months before attempting to return my money. one order they returned to my credit card, the other they claim that the card is not on file- it is the same card as the first order that was received on the same day. They say that I have a credit in my account but now won' let me access my account! where is my money?”

“I received a ring today, the gold weight suggests this is cheap and poor quality. I compared this to my Mom's engagement ring which is better quality and true gold weight - also hall marked and over 40 years old. I hope the stones, which are a lot smaller than expected, don't fall out. Very disappointed.”

“I have purchased a fair amount of jewellery from Gemporia over the past 16 years and they definitely have changed over time, not for the better either. I agree with other people who have reviewed Gemporia. All the hype the presenters give over the designs of Jewellery, quality of the stones etc. Dave Troth is really irritating with the same line to the gallery “what are you doing”regarding the final price of Jewellery items. The prices are hyped up before any drops which most people pick up on anyway. Gold has increased agree but the gold weights are very low in their jewellery pieces which makes them feel tacky and cheap. I sent a number of diamond rings back both Canadian and Argyle diamonds because of the very small diamonds (and I mean small) but also due to the weight of gold. If I’m paying for a 1.50 kt Canadian diamonds 18 kt gold ring I want to see the quality of gold that the stones are set in. My husband said it looked and felt like a ring out of a lucky bag. The prices have definitely gone up and quality have gone down big time. I hate it when Adena Stubbs and Elis ward particularly Elis who say at the time of auction I’ve bought 10 of these make up, candles, perfume and cashmere wraps. - highly irritating and covetous to say the least Think they forget that the majority of people don’t earn that much money and at the moment with the pandemic people have lost their jobs and are struggling financially. Think Gemporia should up it’s game and the quality of its goods.”
