Mr Gerald Ratner is returning to the jewellery market through an online venture.

In 1991, he famously described one of his company's cut-price decanter sets as "total crap".

The entrepreneur is now seeking to raise £4 million sterling for his latest scheme.

He is planning an £876,000 reverse takeover of DPA Investments.

This would provide a listed vehicle for his new venture, Ratners-Online.
