A Note From Jake
JAKE THOMPSON MANAGING DIRECTOR
Icouldn’t introduce a new month without first highlighting October and the success of our 20th Birthday event! As predicted, it was over too quickly, and I thank you on behalf of the Partnership for celebrating such a milestone with us.
November brings autumn in all its glory, and the anticipation of Christmas and the festive winter season. It’s an exciting time for us as we celebrate the opulence of gemstones with our prestigious opening event, A Dazzling Affair, and pay homage to the rich, vibrant locations from which they come with A World of Wonders. This month also sees the unmissable return of Black Friday, and we kick off the gifting season with a fabulous and festive Christmas Preview.
November is an exciting (and expectedly busy) time for many, and we look forward to closing out autumn and welcoming the winter with you.

Buying Team’s Christmas Picks
Our Buying team lies at the heart of the beautiful jewellery and non-jewellery products that we bring to you here at Gemporia – and a few of the team’s members have revealed their top picks for Christmas!
Caroline Gaynham Head of Product
“My Christmas pick this year is the brand-new candle from the Enchanted Fairy Garden collection, which features a perfect blend of fruity top notes (pear, lemon, and apple) and dreamy base notes (white musk, cedarwood, and powdery). Not only does this candle look beautiful when displayed in the home, but it’s made of 100% soy wax which gives a strong, powerful scent that lasts for hours!
Plus, the intricate Labradorite mushroom inside offers a longlasting keepsake after the candle is burnt.”
SKU: PGQL57
Jodie Hall Homewares Buyer
Graham Cummins Buyer
“On my Christmas wish list is the new Pear & Freesia collection by Kimbie Home. The freshness of just-ripe pears wrapped in white freesias, mellowed by amber and a touch of patchouli, evokes the essence of autumn.
I just love freesias; they take me back to my childhood when I used to visit my grandma. We would cut the freesias from her garden to place around her home – her house smelt amazing, and I can’t wait for mine to smell the same! Plus, freesias are said to symbolise friendship, so this collection would make the perfect gift for Christmas, too.”
“One of my favourite gemstones to work with is Ethiopian Opal, due to the stunning colour spectrum you get from it – and this Ethiopian Opal pendant surrounded in London Blue Topaz is just beautiful! Every turn of the design opens up a new combination of colours! Right now we are showcasing some of the best Opals we’ve ever seen on the channel, and it’s a very exciting time to be an Opal lover.”

A Partner’s Voice: Lindsey, Guy & Christian
We are beyond excited to be your new prime time team; between us we have over 30 years of experience, and we really want to create a fun, exciting, and fast-paced prime time show! We want to engage our audience with lots of deals and have a lot of fun whilst doing it – and we love hearing from you, so keep your messages coming into the studio. We want to keep our show as interactive as possible!
So, how do we prepare for our show?
Christian, our director, arrives first and starts recording all the lovely new goodies we have for you, including our brandnew Deal of the Day which launches every day at 10pm. This will always be the most amazing piece of jewellery at an incredible price! So far, we’ve had some beauties from a Rainbow Sapphire bracelet to Internally Flawless Diamonds, as well as the biggest Citrine I think I’ve ever seen.
We make such an amazing team and we are so happy to be working together, and with Olivia and Kieran on the cameras it all comes together really well.
Producer Guy and I will usually speak all day to prepare and plan the best show possible, then we’ll arrive to start setting it up. We’ll chat with management
and the social team – and sometimes we are needed for photos, voiceovers or a piece to camera – and then we are good to go! At 6:45pm we make our way into the studio ready for another fun evening.
We make such an amazing team and we are so happy to be working together, and with Olivia and Kieran on the cameras it all comes together really well. We just want to say a big thank you to you, our customers, for all your amazing support, lovely messages, and for just being a part of our Gemporia family!
Topaz & Citrine
NOVEMBER’S BIRTHSTONES
November’s birthstones, Topaz and Citrine, are known for their warm, rich hues that perfectly capture the essence of autumn. Topaz, often found in shades of blue, yellow, orange, and brown, symbolises love, strength, good fortune, and clarity of thought. Citrine, a vibrant yellow-to-orange gem, is revered for its sunny, uplifting energy, radiating happiness and abundance. Both stones are highly prized and believed to bring warmth and positivity to their wearers, making them perfect for November-born individuals.
