PEARL
Pearl is an organic jewel discovered in the oceans, a natural phenomenon of the deep that has become one of the most desired and most elegant of nature’s jewels. Effortlessly stylish and truly timeless, Pearl is a remarkably versatile gem that fits any jewellery style across the whole suite of rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and pendants. Saying that a gemstone needs to be owned is often cliché, but with Pearl, a truer word was never spoken. They are the epitome of class, the heart of style and the centrepiece of any connoisseur’s collection. Find your forever piece with Gemporia.

HI @NOTPERFECT.ALWAYSME, IT’S SO GOOD TO TALK TO YOU. COULD YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF AND THIS EXCITING NEW COLLABORATION?
Hello everyone, I’m Shanice from @notperfect.alwaysme. I absolutely adore gemstone jewellery! I’ve always had a love for all things that glitter, from my jewellery to clothes and my nail art which are a big passion of mine. I’m a bit of a magpie in that sense. I’ve teamed up with Gemporia to create my own hand-picked collection that encapsulates some of my favourite Gemporia pieces. I love to mix and match high-end pieces with more affordable pieces to create my own look. I hope you love my selection as much as I do.
HOW ARE YOU, AND WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
I am really good, thank you and just really excited about 2022 and what it has to bring. Number 22 is my lucky number, so I have a good feeling about this year! I have been recovering from the festive period, as I’m sure most are! It is the most wonderful time of the year, but it’s such a busy time of year.
CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF?
I’m 27 years old and live in the countryside, but I wouldn’t say I’m a country girl, but I’m not a city girl either. I’m somewhere in the middle! I would describe myself as an introverted extrovert. I swear it’s like a split personality. Part of me is the life of the party, and yet part of me is quite
shy, but I’ve always been like that. I’d say I’ve grown out of my shyness a lot now, though, and I’ve just learned to embrace myself.
AS A NAIL ARTIST, DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION FROM GEMSTONES OR JEWELLERY WHEN CREATING YOUR NAIL DESIGNS?
I definitely do! I love experimenting with different designs, from marbles to Moonstone and Pearl tones, and I love Quartz I found it so nails. They are a big, big trend and are great if you want something fascinating, a bit creative but not too over the top. They are so easy to create, especially with so many colour variations. when she CAN YOU REMEMBER THE MOMENT WHEN
GEMSTONE JEWELLERY FIRST CAME INTO

I found be millions it so fascinating, especially when she explained to me about Amber of years and that it can be millions of years old, and I loved that it had its own old, and I story. She got me one just like it, loved that it and I still have it now! had its own WHAT WAS THE FIRST PIECE OF JEWELLERY YOU PURCHASED FROM GEMPORIA, AND
WHAT DREW YOU TO IT?
story. It was a Morganite ring in 9K gold, and it was a trilliant cut. What drew me to it was the shape. I loved that it was a little different, not your traditional cut. I love classic cuts of stones, but it’s nice to mix it up and stand out with bolder designs. I loved the pale pink tone of the Morganite, and it was just a lovely piece, different yet elegant.
NOW THAT YOU’VE BEEN BEEN COLLECTING FROM GEMPORIA FOR A WHILE, HOW EXTENSIVE IS YOUR JEWELLERY STASH? THIS IS A TOUGH ONE TO ANSWER, BUT DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE PIECE IN YOUR COLLECTION?
I have a lovely collection with different metals and tones. Honestly, I’m so lucky to have so many gorgeous pieces. Gemporia has opened my eyes to so many beautiful gemstones such as Pearl, Morganite, Tanzanite, Topaz, Ametrine; the list goes on!
WHAT KIND OF DESIGNS ARE YOU MOST DRAWN TO?
I’m drawn to all kinds of designs. It depends where I’m going and what I’m doing. I generally don’t go for really large statement pieces, especially with rings, but I do have a couple that I wear on special occasions.
WE’RE VERY EXCITED THAT YOU’RE BRINGING A NEW HAND-PICKED COLLECTION TO GEMPORIA. WHICH THREE GEMSTONES ARE YOU MOST DRAWN TO IN YOUR NEW COLLECTION AND WHY?
Firstly the Argyle Diamond has become an absolute favourite of mine, and I’m excited to add it to my collection. I just love the colour of the Diamond, and I like that it comes from Australia, which is a country I desperately want to travel to one day – I’ve always been fascinated by it. Secondly, the South Sea Pearl as Pearl is classic and elegant. You can never go wrong with Pearls. They just have an air of glamour! Thirdly it would have to be Opal. It’s beautiful, and there is something very celestial about its array of colours and how it catches the light. It’s just a wonderful gemstone.
It would be the Lehrer Cosmic Obelisk pendant which has Rose de France Amethyst, Turquoise, Optic Quartz and White Zircon. Wow, this piece is otherworldly. I love how it’s put together. It’s captivating, complex yet straightforward, and a real I love to mix standout piece that I’m excited to have in my collection. and match DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL STYLING TIPS silvers and WHEN IT COMES TO WEARING YOUR OWN GEMSTONE JEWELLERY?

Slimshotz Weight Loss Drink
Available in Berry, Vanilla and Cherry flavour. 21 servings. 7 day programme.
Welcome to a new, clinically proven aid to weight loss. Formulated by British scientists, Slimshotz is the all-natural breakthrough in reducing unwanted excess body fat. Backed by science and independent research, Slimshotz represents a significant breakthrough in natural weight loss. Our main ingredient, Glucomannan, is a fibre that is carefully extracted from the Konjac plant and is currently the only ingredient to be officially recognised by the EU Commission as contributing towards weight loss. This scientifically proven, wholesome fibre expands up to 50 times inside the stomach, setting off our stretch receptors and sending the hormone ‘leptin’ to the brain, which tells us we’re full. Slimshotz is crafted from 100% natural ingredients.
Collagen Beauty Supplement Drink
10 x 6g powder sachets.
Because the collagen levels in our skin can start to decrease from as young as the age of 20, now is a great time to start taking a collagen supplement to keep your levels topped up. By taking an oral collagen supplement, collagen metabolism is affected past the epidermis (outer) layer of the skin and gets to work in the dermis (thickest) layer where collagen fibres are. Our collagen sachets contains 2,500mg of Verisol®. After taking a daily Verisol® collagen supplement, skin elasticity was found to increase, and the collagen in the skin increased by 60%. (Study provided by Verisol®.) Our powder sachets are ideal for those with a busy lifestyle. Take them with you wherever you go, or prepare first thing in the morning before you start your day. Simple to prepare - just empty one 6g sachet into a glass and top up with 200ml of cold water, give it a good stir, and it’s ready to drink.
