IMO, since this is kinda a one-time special day, it would seem to me that the designers would make it a point to show up in person to present their jewelry, unless sick, of course. While I like Judy, now presenting JR jewelry, I find it a slam that Judith Ripka herself is missing in action. Also, I know Barbara Bixby was on late last evening and would not expect her to be on overnight hours, I sure think she could have been back on for this morning's show. Yeah to Scott Grimes for being there this morning. This will sway my purchasing for today on a limited budget. I cannot purchase everything at these prices, but my money will go to JAI, not only for design, but because the designer is here in person!

There is a definate trend away from this since Comcast sold QVC. It has been an ongoing progression to a different business model. In addition, since the new executive changes, well, there are some differences.

I actually could not imagine a JAI show without Scott Grimes. His stories add so much to the presentations. I will probably only buy JAI today also. I love the quality of the pieces as well as the style. Right now, the only jewelry I wear is gold and JAI.

I am sure there are thousands who buy Barbara and Judith and others because of the designers showing up on air. I like both the women. I even watch them occasionally, but their jewelry does not "speak" to me. I'm not buying even though I like them.
When I was buying lots of Honora, I bought from Joel, I bought from Ralph, and I bought when neither was around. The jewelry was the lure - not the designer.
I'm not saying personalities don't sell because I know they do - just that once I've seen the "name" behind a brand, I don't need to see the person over and over to know whether I will buy the brand or not.

I tend to buy when the Designer is on showing her work. I don't know why, but I do...

Didn't Judith sell the company? She seems to have lost interest and it shows. She seems now to be little more than a sales rep contractually obligated to make X number of appearances.
