Why haven't I seen that tasteless globe made of gems and precious stones on the shopping channel recently?
(The one for chavs to use as a conversation piece)
admin answers:
Cause hopefully when nobody bought the awful things they have melted them down and hopefully this time they will make something a tad more tasteful with the results

Sandy asks…
Are there any orange precious or semi-precious stones?
My moms getting me a nice ring instead of a class ring, cause I'll wear it more often and for longer. My favorite color is orange, and I'm wondering if there are any orange stones. Price isn't really that big of an issue.
admin answers:
Yeah. Go to gems tv. The place is amazing. It's all genuine, and there's a menu that lets you select the colourof stone you want. Greaaat pricies since they produce and source it by themselves. I really recommend it. I've bought a few pieces and i havent been let down yet.
