View Full Version : A Whole page of Tanzanite REDUCED!

I only checked two. One had ONE left a trillion VERY dark about 2 thousand. Other had several and did NOT look good on the page!
Here it is jewelrytelevision.com/index.aspx?tid=7362&N=50+251+198&cm_sp=&cm_re=IRE3540064&up=UP3540064
If it does not spam out and if it does type in tanzanite in search, maybe I saw a dropdown, yes, and saw tanzanite there. Hopefully, the link will not say sp** but even if it does, seems to show at bottom of that whole SP** SC** thing. Soooo, they seem to be definitely dropping tanzanite that they had, maybe to the price or just above what they paid for it back in ?
Scott seems to be on an amathyst kick this time, don't tell me that no one is watching here. Sell or sold out, then rerunning show with same stuff and, whoa, there is more of what sold out before. Like the stupid kit I bought with cabachons & facets mixed together accidentally, right, next day, there were 3, I DID buy two, but price was up to $69.?? from $48.88 and then they were gone and then there were 3 again. Who the H knows what they are doing, don't think they do.
Off to the sack now.

Sistah:) Fimally got them, in nice JTV boxes and then in plastic closure thing. They look very nice, NO clue what they are, do NOT see anything as shown on show, though there are two larger faceted stones in like a snowflake cut/shape. I think there are some Amathests, both cabachons & faceted. I looked at the site today and seems to have at least 10 in there again; so another scam? I have NO clue what these stones are, I do see some chips, slice maybe on top of one or two. I probably will send them back as I have NO clue what they are OR what to do with them.
Found a VERY interesting page today, I was looking for JTV number I used to have, not the ones they show and googled JTV and came up with following discount page; DO check it out if you do buy anythng, 20% off and free shipping coupons, some are from years ago; but still some are good.
www.tjoos.com/Coupon/1312/Jewelry-Television
Only in cause said I would report. As I said, seem nice, but never should have gotten them, me thinks was just another ploy to get people to buy their 'ooops we messed up' parcels of 250 kts of stones. As I said, could not get in for the $48.?? now are listed at $69.?? and either they had a LOT more OR people have sent them back. I do NOT know.
Now I am away from page again, good luck all. I did read about coating tanzanites today someplace, doubt they did that, but who knows? Who knows IF J or buyers know when they loop them, whatever I read said must use microscope and something else AND then something about smaller stones and if you see light/dark in a stone, probably has the coating on it.?

if you check the archives here and on other boards you will see that no one believes these parcels are worth the money. They tend to be full of broken stones, chipped, badly cut and included. For the most part they look like junk people buy to practice on for GIA school and or lapidary school
I'd like to hear from a regular (as opposed to someone who suddenly chimes in suspiciously) who can say that they ever got a stone that was valued as "more than the entire parcel" and therefore worth it, the way they always claim. Perhaps some of their spice mix and so on other specials really did have something really good quality and rare in it. The only ones I ever bought were in the early 2000s and they were just awful.

thought you gave up on the site as well!... How the He$$ are you!... Long time no hear!... I showed my stones to a lapidarian and he like them... again I think I was lucky! and that was hoping for my tanzanite as well when you mentioned that they can color the small tanzanite stones.... But again when he made my mother's ring he really liked the trapiche that I did get from JTV... As you can tell I really love that stone!

Hey I have been yo Graceland. My husband used to see Elvis riding his horse alot. Back in the day. Needless to say he is from Memphis.I saw his last concert here in May 1977. I was on the 9 th row. I don't care if he was overweight that man had a gift from God. I watch him and lisa Marie on U-tube sing in the ghetto. Itis awsome. When God comes to take me home where the streets are paved with gold I want Elvis to sing "How great thou art"....Chills Whne you think about that the 250 parcel doesn't really count andy more. Just a thought to put things in this life in perspective.

My girlfriend loved Elvis... I didn't understand the attraction... especially after I got older ... But I hope ROBINZEGG U HAD A GREAT TIME! WE MISSED YOUR COMMENTS!... I always bought the parcels so could look at them through a regular microscope to see if I could tell what they were.... that parcel I would have bought 250 ctw for 49.99... yeah they would have had my money... but the lines were busy... so I didnt get through... I love pretty stones.... but again when you are still learning... Oh well I didn't....

Just so you will know and you may already...... I don't keep up that much but..... Tiffany's who discovered the stone back in 1967 yada yada... you know the rest of the story.... does not carry it anymore, because the market is saturated. HMMMMM and you know I tried to sell my five ct in 18kt gold with appraisal of 13,000.00 and the GIA offered me 750.00. That made me feel just great because i love Tanzanite. I did not get any of mine from JTV.

Makes you wanna go hmmm... is everyone lying to us?
