Re: New grading system for Tanzanite?

Citing your own website education page does not answer the question about cobalt treatment. I read it myself. I would like a deeper educated researched answer. Thank you for your time. I’m considering an Iliana purchase for the first time. I’m waiting now.

Re: Dear SLC Hosts-Shame on you

I have been looking at my collection in a different light for a long time. I read ShopLC's parent company is a plastic manufacturer. Also I have been concerned with LC's growing inventory of simulated gems. How do you know if what they are selling is real? Or what you get isn't simulated. Not all th...

Re: Have you EVER....

I read an article this morning about Australia; as of this week 10,000 camels are to be killed because they drink too much water and pass to much methane; all because climate change and they drink too much water. Blaming camels for drinking water during a drought!! The animal population has been des...

Re: Does Anyone Return $9.99 Items?

I bought a longer set of Indian garnet a year ago, I returned because they were dark. I bought again more recently hoping it would be newer stock hence better beads. Nope, no better. I love garnet so I took the beads off the cord and restrung on fishing line I had beads from 30 years ago that I mixe...

Re: Polki diamonds

If they answer about tanzanite screenshot that too I’m afraid if the new material they sell is coated they may not be up front about it. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt but it is hard. I don’t remember all this stuff happening a year ago but then there wasn’t a forum either. I often wondered...

Re: Polki diamonds

Thanks for letting me know. I’ve read so much negative stuff about LC’s products lately on this forum I’m starting to doubt what they’re selling us. I really would like an answer on tanzanite treatments. If it’s treated with cobalt I’m done.

Polki diamonds

Has anyone bought polki diamonds? Are they any good or worth the trouble? I hadn’t heard of them till LC. Is it real or a fad? I don’t care if rich people pay big bucks; I’m sure what LC sells isn’t what rich people buy! Just curious.

Re: To moderator: Clearance vs sale

One more thing. I just went through a few items in the “clearance “ section. I pulled up items in ring section. Every item I pulled up the price was in red, none are labeled definitively “clearance “. I for one never search the clearance section. There are too many items; I don’t have the time. I do...

To moderator: Clearance vs sale

Shoplc refund policy is vague, unclear. Returning clearance items must be from clearance section or event. Item webpage shows price in red; doesn’t say sale all the time or it is in red and says clearance or it is labeled sale. Now, no matter where I shop, if the item is priced in red it means sale....
