What is your favourite gemstone?

Without a doubt a diamond, I adore them.  My two most precious pieces of jewellery are my diamond engagement ring and some diamond earrings given to me by my husband. Diamonds are also my birthstone and definitely a girl’s best friend. 

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

I’m pretty girlie and love colour, I’d say casual and relaxed during the day but love to team with accessories such as pendants, scarves and bags but love to glam it up with little dresses and heels at night! 

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

Bright and colourful! Big chunky necklaces, cheerful scarves and upbeat nail colour can transform a whole look whether it’s a simple black dress, or shirt and jeans. 

Who is your ultimate style icon?

Definitely Kate Moss, whether she is at a festival, out shopping or out for a night out she always looks so stunning, she definitely has the X factor with her unique style.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Where do I even start, being on live TV there are bound to be numerous occasions, but I remember once turning a lovely shade or lobster after falling over and dropping an African warrior figurine and its head breaking off in shot!

What is your favourite gemstone?

Amethyst . Purple has always been my favourite colour and the affordability of this beautiful gem makes it a great one to collect.

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

I had to ask my friends to answer this one for fear of coming across as deluded! They answered : Classic, stylish and sometimes elegant…

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

It is important to know your shape , which colours suit you best and to trust your instincts. With your jewellery collection, make it varied and enjoy every piece whether precious or costume.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I think it is a combination of iconic women: Judi Dench, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Vivien Leigh.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

There are a few from over the years but the ones that stand out are not putting the lid on a food processor and ending up being covered in the coleslaw that I was preparing, driving a remote control car into the set Christmas tree and sending the whole tree cascading down in front of me and worst of all the dreadful Karaoke singing I inflicted on my audience on numerous occasions. I apologise for the latter!

What did you do before joining TJC?

Before joining TJC...goodness....well I have been a face on a lot of the major UK shopping channels starting with my first job at Ideal World as part of the original launch team when I hosted the Breakfast Show. Before that I was in Marketing and worked for an agency as an Account Director with some great clients including Cathay Pacific Airways, Hewlett Packard and even Tiffany’s...(so there was a jewellery connection there already!!) In the year or so I was away from the channel I was making Natural Health shows in the United States where I do a fair bit of hosting work and still do which is always fun.

What makes you enjoy working at TJC?

well...whats not to LOVE! I get to chat away about the girlie stuff and try on amazing fun jewellery. The nicest thing is the interaction and texts and feedback we get from our viewers. You always feel part of each others lives and they help you feel cheery even on difficult days.

What is your favourite gemstone and why?

Well I expect a lot of us will answer and say emeralds but in fairness I think I am allowed as it is my very own birthstone and I actually did the very first all Emerald hour on TJC years ago. As a result I do host quite a number of Emerald days and never fail to fall in love with its colour and the sound of those wopping valuations!!! If it wasn’t an emerald...well you cant beat a massive diamond ring!!

Describe your personal style?

Its horrid describing yourself! It would probably be better to ask someone else what they think!! No rude replies please!!....but what I try to be is pretty classic maybe with a little funky twist now and again to try and make me feel young!!

What is your favourite colour and why?

You would think it was black the amount I wear of it however my Mother would say it was blue as a blue eyed girl!

Name your favourite restaurant and why?

Now you are talking! I LOVE FOOD!! Too much! Picking a favourite however is easy. There is an amazing beach bar in Portugal called Evaristo. I have spent many an amazing time since my childhood watching the sunset there in the cove, listening to fantastic music, drinking their own special white sangria while a big fish is cooking on the bbq. Heaven!!

If you were to travel around the world in 80 Days, which city will you begin from and why?

Now you are getting tricky! Well cities I adore would be New York for the feel, Bangkok for the excitement and Venice for the amazing film set appearance. Maybe one of those.

What is your worst ever fashion malfunction?

I am a bit if a Bridget Jones. If something is going to happen to somebody...it WILL be me! The one I can think of instantly was in the days of the long gypsy skirts one summer, I was at Lord’s watching the Test Match Cricket with some friends and their business clients. The stand attempted a mexican wave and my skirt got stuck in the chair as I stood up. It split and I bared my behind to thousands of watching fans!!!

Who is your favourite celebrity and why?

Although we talk about celebrities and what they are wearing and their style, I do try not to get too obsessed by the celebrity culture. They are just people doing a job like the rest of us aren’t they?! But probably if I was doing that interesting dinner party guest thing...Stephen Fry would be right up there!! Although what woman isn’t in love with Gary Barlow at the moment! For ladies style tips I try and look out for ... Eva Mendes is my girl!

What is your best TV show and why?

I love the escapism of TV but I still don’t think you can beat a good holiday read. I like all the awful reality shows..Strictly, X_Factor and America’s Next Top Model. They are addictive but then nothing beats a Jeremy Kyle show rant sometimes and Im also enjoying Robson Green’s Extreme Fishing and The Tudors. How random am I!!! My real desire is to be the next cardio-thoracic surgeon on Holby City however!

In exactly two words how would your best friend describe you?

Again..not really one for me to answer but I’m guessing maybe loyal and a giggle.

If you were to be the Prime Minister for Three (3) Hours, what would you do and why?

Three hours!! May take a wee bit longer than that. I suppose what you would like to do and what you could do money wise are two different things. In an ideal scenario it would be wonderful to put right injustices help lessen the divide between rich and poor and help the sick and elderly so everyone is comfortable and cared for and no one is lonely or desperate. Trying not to sound like a Miss World Contestant but it’s hard not to! Also would propose a plan to get the tug boats and just drag as down south a little to get a bit more sunshine...!

Can you reveal a secret about a fellow TJC presenter?

I don’t think I really can...even if I could, Im not sure it would be for me to say! But I will have a think and if something comes to mind... a good bit of gossip... then I will get back to you!!!!

Cris is an experienced broadcaster having worked for the BBC, ITV and Eurosport, and of course The Jewellery Channel. He’s presented from the Olympic Games, Rugby World Cup and World Athletic Championships amongst others. Cris has a passion for current affairs and whether it’s via television, radio, online or via social media, he tries to keep up with the latest news from around the world. His other passion is, of course, jewellery which he has worked with for a number of years. "The wonderful thing about The Jewellery Channel", he tells us "is that that every gemstone has a unique story and place in history and it's always a pleasure to share those stories on-air with TJC viewers!

What is your favourite gemstone?

Well it’s so hard to pick just one but I think Tanzanite has such a unique history and has really taken the world of gemology by storm in recent years.

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

Always be willing to try something new but remember the classics are 'classic' for a reason.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I love how Daniel Craig transverses the style of Bond from the 1950's right up to the 2010's.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Too many to mention really but falling off a chair whilst presenting a live TV programme probably takes the biscuit!

The Scottish member of the team and presenting here on TJC since the very first day, Derek moved to London 14 years ago to study for a Degree and then a Masters degree in music. After graduating at the Royal Albert Hall, he started working on TV way back in 2003, and has worked alongside many household names (including Gloria Hunniford and Benedict Cumberbatch) on BBC 2, ITV 1, Channel Four and Channel Five - even composing music for many productions on the same networks (including TJC!).

Derek’s father is a retired geologist and geography teacher who introduced Derek to the world of gemstones from an early age. Derek lives in Greater London and adores his girlfriend and pet cat, Cancun.

What is your favourite gemstone?

That would have to be my birthstone – Emerald! There is something about that internal, neon and almost eerie glow that is incredible to see; especially on a good quality, larger stone.

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Conservative yet quirky!

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

Take on new ideas from around you; be inspired by the past but don’t be afraid to create a brand new style for yourself. It’s always good to try something new, so go for it! Also, don’t go too over the top by piling on too many different styles…one or two well-chosen pieces of jewellery can make all the difference.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

As a bloke I would say I have no particular style icon, but can appreciate a well-dressed lady or gent. Personally, I love to be suited and booted with a crisp white shirt and colourful tie; simple but classic.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

All of the time! That’s the nature of the job. I love it!

Jo joined the TJC family back in 2011 and after a brief hiatus and training to become a GIA certified Gemologist, she is thrilled to be back again doing what she loves - talking and shopping!

Jo began her professional career as an actress, and after training at theatre school in London, she began to travel the world performing.

The seven seas called and Jo worked on some of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world as a shopping presenter, running her own successful business and helping people acquire beautiful jewellery in the Caribbean and Alaska.

With a lifelong passion for travel, Jo has been lucky enough to have visited many of the countries from which our beautiful gemstones are mined and even visited many of the mining sites themselves- a priceless experience.

She loves the hustle bustle of the TJC environment and the excitement of knowing a whole new box of treasures awaits each and every show for her to share with you…

What is your favourite gemstone?

When it comes to collectables, Tanzanite was love at first sparkle for me. It gives me the best of both worlds- the brilliance of a diamond but a rich exotic colour like no other gem. I also adore blue diamonds as they are just that little bit different!

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Colourful, classic, always accessorise :)

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

Invest in those 5 classic jewellery essentials and you will have a timeless structure to your jewellery collection:

Diamond studs, tennis bracelet, pendant, right hand ring and diamond hoops. A longline station necklace is also a beautiful accessory. Then you can of course mix and match them with all your other TJC pieces!

Who is your ultimate style icon?

The 50's and 60's were such a fabulous period for fashion and who can beat Jackie O in her classic Pink Chanel suit?

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

I'm a bit clumsy and you may often see me dropping things live on air, or hear clanging going on behind the set. It's ok- I hear all great artists are clumsy :)

Laura began her television career in a rather fabulous way – assisting Trinny and Susannah on the set of What Not to Wear. Loving the world of media, Laura whirled into a busy schedule of TV production and styling.  She worked behind the scenes for a few years on entertainment and children’s television, but soon realised that working in front of the camera was more her thing!

Laura has since presented an abundance of television and radio channels – loving the fashion side of things the most. Being a rather leggy lady (6 foot to be exact), Laura spends a fair amount of time style-blogging for other tall women. Staying in the world of fashion, Laura often hosts live fashion shows around the country for the likes of The Clothes Show Live for Cosmopolitan magazine amongst others. Last year she presented makeover advertorials for Remington on MTV, and her style tips were featured in Elle.

She loves nothing better than a good chin-wag, and has interviewed everyone from actors to Olympians, and even members of the royal family! But her biggest claim to fame is that she's the face of Watford shopping centre. Yes folks, she's kind of a big deal...

What is your favourite gemstone?

For chunky fashion pieces, I love the exotic bright blue of turquoise. But when it comes to collectibles, I'm going to be a bit of a traditionalist and say diamonds.

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Tall, smiley and scary-alien-toes J

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

A big, bold, statement piece can breathe life into the most over-worn tops and dresses in your wardrobe. I always try and wear at least one high-impact piece - a chunky necklace, sparkly cuff bracelet or a fabulously blingy pair of earrings.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

Sarah Jessica Parker for her quirkiness, The Duchess of Cambridge for her lady-like wardrobe, and Lady Gaga... just for the fact that she'll happily wear a lobster on her head.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

I once had to dress up as a gorilla for children's telly. To be fair, no one knew it was me... but the eye-holes weren't in the right place, so I ended up skidding over in spectacular style and bashing my leg into a giant plant-pot. I've still got a big scar on my leg to prove it!

What is your favourite gemstone?

It's tough to narrow it down to one! I particularly love Tanzanite and Turquoise as they are my birthstones, so they are quite sentimental to me. However, I also love the amazing colour palette in both Ammolite gems and Opals.

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

I think three words to sum up my look would be 'Classic butedgy'. I like to wear fairly simplistic outfits but then add a twist, whether that's with a bag, accessory or piece of jewellery.

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

I know it may sound cliché but I think every single person is individual so dress the way that makes you happy… and comfortable!

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I love how classic Kate Middleton dresses with both her clothes and jewellery! She often wears both drop pearl earrings as well as emerald earrings. I'm very envious of her jewellery collection!

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

My most memorable moment yet was when I once knocked over about 40 pieces of jewellery on air. I was using my hands a lot to describe a piece, got too excited and next thing I knew all the pieces had fallen on the table below. Luckily they were durable stones so didn't break...Thankfully!

Lindsey is an established TV Presenter, Auctioneer & Events MC, with over 15 years of professional experience collectively, specialising in fine art, fine wines & jewellery.

As a BA Honours Art History graduate from The University of Nottingham, she spent the first 4 years of her career working in the USA as a Fine Art Auctioneer in the galleries in Michigan & Florida, plus onboard luxury cruise liners – namely, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Holland America, Carnival, Norwegian Cruise Line & Radisson Seven Seas.

Following this, she progressed into television in 2006, presenting for Auction Channels in the UK on Sky & Freeview - namely, Deal TV, Vinappris (specialising in wine), Speed Auction TV, Price-Drop TV and Bid TV (specialising in jewellery).

In 2010 she moved to China to work as a lead reporter for the Shanghai World Expo, appearing daily on national prime-time television (CCTV News), which made her a local celebrity overnight and earned her an award from the chinese government for her contribution to Chinese media. She remained in Shanghai for a further 4 years reporting for the entertainment news, as well as presenting travel, cultural & lifestyle shows.

Her greatest achievements in China include writing, producing, directing & presenting her own educational TV show about fine wine appreciation for the local Shanghainese (she is WSET Advanced Certified in wine knowledge), that was broadcast on Shanghai TV and in Hong Kong. She also founded her own production company, and went on to create her own online lifestyle TV show for her fellow expats. As a result a report was aired on her life, work & achievements in Asia.

In 2014, Lindsey came back to the UK, and her life-long personal passion for collecting jewellery, and acquired her Accredited Jewellery Professional Qualification with the Gemological Institute of America, while also hosting for Gems TV. She then progressed to jewellery specialist on QVC in 2016, before becoming a regular presenter on The Jewellery Channel where she remains to date!

Lindsey holds an official Advanced Auctioneer's Certificate (recognised by the National Auctioneer's Association), and was asked to co-host alongside Noel Edmunds for his latest auction-format show ‘Sell or Swap’, that was aired on Channel 4 prime-time, December 2016. Currently you can also see her auctioneer live in London regularly alongside multiple ex-Sothebys and ex-Christies colleagues, as well as BBC’s ‘Bargain Hunt’ Tim Wonnacott and Sean Kelly from Storage Hunters with Timeline Auctions, with whom she is their jewellery specialist.

The remainder of the time(!) Lindsey hosts charity auctions internationally for The Lord Taverners (on behalf of President Angela Rippon OBE), J.Levines Arizona, The Loomba Foundation (on behalf of President Cherie Blair CBE), Cancer Research UK and even for Parliament!

What is your favourite gemstone?

There are so many it is hard to pick one! But if I had to wear one gemstone forever it would have to be a diamond. It is in a league of it’s own – pure, classic, timeless. I even studied a whole module with the GIA solely on diamonds! There is nothing quite like it’s brilliance, fire, scintillation & sparkle and it was the first gemstone I bought myself. I still wear this diamond trilogy ring everyday to dat,e as I feel it is the ultimate gemstone to own and the most empowering to buy yourself!

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Glamour, sparkle & chic! I love stylish chic fashion, and adding glamour with sparkling statement jewellery pieces. I believe as women we should make the best of ourselves – whatever we have been given. Every woman has their own individual beauty that they can enhance in their own personalised way with the right clothing, make-up and jewellery. I remember living in China, and seeing a lot of the beautiful girls spoiling their look by dyeing their hair blond or their face white to look western. I realised then it’s important to embrace what you have and enhance it, not spoil it!

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

Get your gold, rose gold & silver wardrobe together! I have a selection of silver/whitegold/platinum pieces that I compliment with cool shades of eye-shadow (silvers/purples/blues) with pink lipstick, as well as gold pieces I team up with warm shades of make-up (beige/browns/oranges) with red lipstick for a vibrant, powerful, striking look!

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I don’t have one specific person, but there are lots of women I think look effortlessly glamorous, elegant and sophisticated such as Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johanssen and Angelina Jolie. But when I think about someone I admire, it has to be my mum. Being originally from Paris she has always had the knack of looking so classy in whatever she wears, the colours/styles she chooses, and how she accessorises with jewellery and scarves always works and looks so stylish. Needless to say she watches regularly when I’m on TJC and picks and chooses items to compliment her already-chic look!

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

I don’t really get embarrassed so I’d say no, however if you asked me if I’ve had some very funny moments, that’s a definite yes! I get the giggles sometimes, and when I do, it’s hard for me to stop laughing! So that has happened a few times, which was highly amusing!

Mark has worked in the jewellery industry for all of his adult working life. Presenting on live television in both the UK and USA, Mark has enjoyed educating collectors and connoisseurs about gemstones and jewellery since 2012.

Having studied with The Gemmological Institute of America (GIA) to become an Accredited Jewellery Professional and visiting several gemstone mines including the Tanzanite mine in Tanzania alongside fellow TJC presenter Rachel Hatton, Mark is a true gemstone and jewellery expert.

Mark’s other passions include home décor, skin care and shopping which make him a perfect fit for TJC.

What is your favourite gemstone?

Ultimately, it has to be Turkizite. It ticks virtually every single box in a checklist for the properties you could ever want a gemstone to possess. Its seductive multiple colour change makes it an extraordinary shapeshifter in the gemstone world, combined with its pleochroism, rarity and natural talent. Having said that, the first gemstone I ever fell in love with was Mercury Mystic Topaz.

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Being a dog owner I’m always wearing joggers, t-shirts and trainers off screen and love feeling rebellious by wearing casual clothes as opposed to dressing smartly on air.

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

I love the fact that jewellery allows everyone to transform their look without having to completely change their style or colour palette in their wardrobe. I’ve heard and read so many times that red is ‘the colour to wear’ yet it is such a difficult colour to feel comfortable wearing head to toe whereas ruby allows you to incorporate and accessorise with red without totally committing to it.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I don’t have one, however, I admire Danny Dyer’s look and combination of smart and casual.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Way too many! Mostly involving unintentional innuendos. Also, I once knocked over an 8 foot Christmas tree on air simply by walking past it as well as losing a priceless Alexandrite loose stone by accidently pinging it from a pair of gemstone tweezers onto the studio floor.

She’s visited gemstone mines in Africa, experienced how to craft jewellery in Jaipur, discovered how diamonds are bought and cut in Mumbai and looked to sourcing finest gemstones from Hong Kong.

Rachel is well read too, having gained a GIA AJP qualification in diamonds, coloured gemstones and jewellery.

Outside of TJC, Rachel is often browsing the shops herself, as a self-confessed shopaholic. She is constantly experimenting with new styles and beauty trends. She loves to eat out, travel the world and experience new cultures. This year so far she’s travelled to Iceland, Venice, Florida, Canary Islands, Majorca and Hong Kong!

What is your favourite gemstone

For daytime, it has to be labradorite – it’s a laid back gemstone but with a mysterious metallic blue light to give it an edge. For night-time glamour, it has to be the most long loved stone – Emerald! The glow is unparalleled, as is its history! Pharaoh Cleopatra was known for her passion for Emeralds, it’s a Queen’s gem!

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

I can talk about jewellery and fashion until I’m blue in the face, but it’s so hard to describe yourself. But on telly – I try to feel ‘glamourous’ and ‘groomed’. Whether I always do, is another question. And at home, I go for ‘comfort’! I do love my chill-out clothes; my pyjamas draw is bulging!

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

I think accessories and jewellery is the perfect way to show your style and individuality! So use accessories to draw attention to a part of you that makes you special, such as a pair of sapphire earrings to accentuate your beautiful blue eyes. Your accessories draw is your box of tricks when it comes to updating your look or transforming an otherwise dull outfit. Keep it stocked with plenty of scarves, belts, bags and jewellery, adding a few new pieces each season so that you can always look bang on trend!

Who is your ultimate style icon?

I adore New York fashionista Olivia Palermo’s style. She is so effortlessly chic, elegant and outrageously fashionable! What I would give to raid her wardrobe. Often I am browsing Instagram and being inspired by fashion bloggers and street style. There are so many fabulous women out there rocking it!

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Yes too many to mention, I am an embarrassing person! I once wrongly described a ring as ‘extortionate’ rather of ‘extraordinary’! Come to think of it, I often make up words! Presenting 4 hours straight, sometimes your brain becomes a little muddled! There are many more embarrassing things, but I can’t admit to them – maybe if we have a mojito together one day – I’ll spill the beans!

What is your favourite gemstone?

Paraiba for the collector, tanzanite as it’s so beautiful, Russian diopside for the amazing richness of greens. But when people ask me what they should buy right now.... Zultanite, trust me in 5 years’ time you will be glad you did! I know that's more than one but it’s impossible to pick

If you could sum up your look and aesthetic in three words, what would they be?

Feminine, relaxed, and classic.

Any fashion or jewellery tips?

If you love it buy it – It’s that simple.

Who is your ultimate style icon?

Jennifer Aniston. Her style is effortlessly cool and comfortable - and is totally doable for the rest of us.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Plenty, but my most embarrassing moment to date happened at the last Tucson gem show – not really on screen, but a real cringe moment!

After a long day of filming I was taken out to a beautiful restaurant by the big bosses of TJC. Amit, our Head Gem Buyer handed what I thought was a sweet across the table, so I popped it in my mouth.... everyone at the table shouted nooooooo! Well it wasn’t an M & M! To my horror, it was actually a really rare cat’s eye rubellite. Don’t think I’ll ever live that one down.

Any embarrassing on-screen moments?

Cutting the cake for TJC’s 2nd birthday – I practically chopped off my finger while smiling at the camera – ouch! 

Can you reveal a secret about a fellow TJC presenter?

Derek wears ladies pants.
