I wrote a review on 11/9/15 about bait and switch tactics and theft of precious gemstones. I was happy to read my review on sitejabber but realized I must correct the facts. I wrote that four times I purchased the same Madagascan Blue Sapphire princess cut that was described as Madagascan Blue Sapphire calibrated 6 mm. Princess cut. 70ct. Every time I received a purple Tourmaline square step up cut from JTV I received information that JTV never had or sold a Purple Tourmaline square step up cut gemstone in their inventory. Also each time I paid $120.-$150. For said Madagascan Sapphire. I checked the Purple Tourmaline in a JTV refractometer every time and results where, are the same numbers to the SEMI-PRECIOUS tourmaline. At that time and still now the amount of money charged for a melee princess cut blue sapphire was $1000-$2000 wholesale according to the magazine GEM GUIDE which is a BI-Monthly magazine that most reputable gem jewelry stores refer to value gemstones: precious, semi-precious, pearls, and diamonds. I have also had items straight stolen switched for very low quality stones such as emeralds, opals, rubies I have orders cancelled that I won on the auction site when it was still working before the president of JTV decided to liquidate the entire jtv auction site and inventory. Even though I got many good deals thru the auction and build a bargain also other specials since Jerry passed away the company has and will contnue to go down hill. I think it had to be someone high up on the employee chain to have access to switch gems change items weights clean out entire inventories of item SBR055 7mm round Madagascan Blue Sapphire from. 75ct. To. 60ct. In the middle of a auction the change the item description page so they could take all the. 75ct which most weighed. 88ct to. 60ct which most weigh. 72ct. I informed them then they change the weight of said item before the auction was over so they changed the item description. Please JTV respond to this review by answering what happen to the. 75ct. Round Sapphires SBR055 and who in your team of employees ripped me and JTV off MR. Tim Matthews or Jay Boyle he knows what inventory consisted of. Jay Boyle is not the bad guy he in fact got some of the items for me that where switched on me. Jay Boyle is the senior buyer and knows the inventory. This would have never happened if Jerry was still alive with his good business ethics which Tim Mathews lacks or has none. Where is the tanzanite, ethiopian opals, peridot, spinels, sapphires and others its cheap bella luche jewery and B grade color tanzanite. Dont try to defend this company as I seen with other people counter reviews they are people that wear suits which in my mind is a mark of a thief, thieves? Anybody else have the same things happen yet? Thank you for letting me post this corrected review. JayC
