David, stop saying that!

David just said he thinks $100 per gram for gold is a good deal. Hello? Gold has come down 30% or more and $100 is overpriced.

I found an excellent online retailer who sells 10k, 14k, and 18k. The 14k runs anywhere from $48 to $75 per gram depending on the complexity of the piece.

David, you need to broaden your horizon on the price of gold!

Most customers are smart and know what a good gold price is and isn't.

David M. should start a comedy routine......I think these sellers pulled the wool over his eyes.... Some ""buying power"" that QVC has.....

There is more to the world of jewelry than Italy and Turkey explore the big wide world David like the other channels do....there are other countries and other designers out there. And then he says he goes to the malls to see what they are offering....I think you need to CHANGE THE CHANNEL and see what Shop HQ and JTV are offering .....

And come on QVC $9.72 to ship a ring.....and almost $8 to ship a necklace that was a simple chain.

We get it. You think QVC jewelry is overpriced and the variety lacking. Great -- so shop elsewhere. QVC cannot be all things for all people, and to expect someone selling on QVC to do anything other than say that the selection is good and the price a good value is silly.

As with everything else, the only solution to dealing with QVC's high prices or lack of variety is to shop elsewhere. Money is the only thing that speaks to QVC.

I can't help but wonder that, while SOME of us clearly know what prices should be, MOST probably don't.

They believe the hype and jump in. As you can see, they will jump to the defense of a retailer selling for high prices and make like the person trying to advise is the 'bad guy'.

Because of this, they seem to be pretty successful at selling inferior jewelry for crazy high prices. A fool and his money ... etc.

Shopping elsewhere is always an option and I'd guess many of us are doing just that... Still, that doesn't preclude calling out their on-air personnel when they're flat out wrong. And once again, this board is called The Q Did What. It's for the express purpose of registering concerns and complaints.

As for the variety, other than the continued overemphasis on Sleeping Beauty turquoise, (OMG... the mine is closed... who'd have EVER known...), I've been pleased with the beautiful array of jewelry shown today. Sure, I'd like to have seen more diverse gemstones, but I personally think the gold jewelry shown today was gorgeous and a nice mix.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this and don't know how to start a new thread, so I hope you'll be willing to answer this question, and won't resent the change of subject. Here it is: Does anyone know the difference b/w these two bracelets? J-295623 Double Domed Byzantine Bracelet (10.2gms) J-319485 Bold Mirrored Byzantine (12.1gms)

Are they both Double Domed? Does one have a sheen and does the other have a high polish? Has anyone bought either and would give an opinion? They're both the same price (expensive), and I don't know how this style will look on my skinny wrist, but I'm finding it hard to resist. They're both so beautiful….

Thanks

The double is basically two byzantine bracelets soldered together. I prefer the mirror byzantine bracelet Antonella showed a little bit ago. I think the double is a fad, something that could well be outdated in a couple of years. The mirror is one bracelet, a classic while being classy, and can be worn with either side up. I'm actually debating ordering the mirror one.

Hi Calminheart,

Thanks for clarifying the diff b/w the 2 bracelets. What does the mirrored Byz look like on the back side? Does it have the same shine? And do you know if the prices for each bracelet go back up at the end of the sale?

Also, at the moment I'm considering J-322106 Byz Cross Ring…wondering if it will work nicely with the finishes on both bracelets. Thoughts? BTW, Calminheart is a lovely handle.

And case in point a $159 necklace had shipping and handling price of $7.72 while a 10 piece cookware had shipping and handling was $7......

I know the really expensive jewelry requires special delivery and signing, but some of the QVC's less expensive jewelry also had exorbitant shipping....there is something wrong when a retailer has to use shipping to make a profit.....so many other retailers don't!!!!
