Diamonique

Why after 30 years I don't recall why a vendor is needed for Diamonique? The host no what is need to know. They have been doing it for years now we have a vendor that says nothing new a waste of money. Just a thought

I, too, was confused by the addition of a Diamonique vendor....because, let's face it, Diamonique sells itself. After all these years, those of us who make up the Diamonique audience, are very aware of the quality and value Diamonique affords. The vendor seems lovely, but honestly she doesn't seem to add anything new or valuable to the shows...besides, the hosts have all done a great job with their presentations. How about leaving the Diamonique shows to Antonella, Nancy, Jen Coffey and, of course, Mary Beth.

My hope is that they are expanding the line and we will see some pretty additions. Maybe their sales are not good and they brought her in to make it look special. Note to the buyer: please bring back the Diamonique sapphires and the beautiful classic looks from yesteryear.

Put Doamonique in 14k or 18k real honest to goodness GOLD, NOT CLAD, NOT PLATE , and I'll be happy to buy it.

No "vendor" no "designer" and really, no host, will will convince me to buy ANYTHING besides what I know I'll like before I buy it.

My gosh, they have a special vender for most everything now. There is usually someone to bring on and welcome in . . . the designer, the inventer, the spokesperson, the expert. Good grief. Small wonder the prices are so high.

@Peaches McPhee - Maybe it's because there's more gold in them, but the gold and cubic zirconia at one of my local jewelers is more expensive than QVC's - hundreds more. I'm happy not to be in the jewelry market any more. I just don't even wear what I already own.

I, too, find it totally unnecessary to have this new "vendor." And while I'm sure she is a lovely person, she kind of turns me off for some reason.

The jewelry hosts can sell diamonique in their sleep. They are all knowledgeable about the designs and there is little that can be added to the origin of a lab created stone. It's not like the vendor can tell us about an exciting new discovery somewhere in Peru. Other than modeling when Rick hosts, it's just seems to be a lot of two people agreeing with each other.

On the positive side, the vendor is not shrill or loud and shares the conversation rather than wrestling for it. When Mally was on a few days ago with Jacque I was interested in a product but could hear perfectly on volume setting 3. Those ladies can ramp up the decibels.

No vendor is needed for Diamonique.

Also, while we're on the subject, why are two hosts needed to sell products like Jayne and Pat? Such a waste of money on QVC's part.

If one can't sell by herself, then put her in another department at QVC.

I have always preferred one host at a time and no vendor. That doesn't happen much anymore.

Yet another pointless mis-step made by QVC management.

And, at the end of the day, all these bad choices increase costs to shoppers.

KentuckyWoman — Wed, 06 Jul 2016 15:25:58 GMT

I don't get it either. The hosts have been presenting Diamonique for almost thirty years. If the vendor rep could offer something the hosts couldn't I might see it. They just seem to repeat what the other one says over and over.

Maybe the big D is getting stale. They lost Lisa Mason who was a tremendous spokesperson for the line and then Marybeth another very great spokesperson came and went or maybe they sold the line and this vendor is the new rep.

@Sunshine Kate- I think the two hosts in the AM is more about the style of the show or to create an intimate feeling like you are coming in to the living room and just "us girls" having a good time like the old days but it doesn't come off that way. It did when it was Pat, Dan and Murphy

I have wondered about why it's necessary to have a Diamonique vendor as well. They have gone decades without one. The first time I saw her, I didn't realize who she was and thought she was a new host in training lol. The same goes for the gem guy Peyton. He is was on with Nancy the other day. Why do they need two certified gem experts to sell something? QVC is gettng out of hand with all the extra people in a presentation.

Exactly. One host is enough. The vendor is a distraction and not needed.

I think Diamonique has lost its way with all the crazy fads....weird color stones...black metal settings..and maybe they think that bringing in the vendor who must on some level have the power to yay or nay current trends...somehow gives credibilty to the line? If this gal who is the boss says its spot on...thrn maybe the Q hopes longtime viewrs will think so too. She's ok but at first I also thought she was a new host in training.

Is this why they have Erin Moseley??? I cannot for the life of me understand why she is needed at all. The hosts have been presenting jewelry without her for 30 yrs. Now, all of a sudden, they bring her in??? In my humble opinion, she brings absolutely NOTHING to the party. I think most of the hosts who present jewelry are doing a fantastic job and all she is is annoying. Am I the only person who feels this way?

No, you're not the only one. I agree with all you said. It's kind of silly to add another on air person to a presentation that brings us nothing and tell us nothing that the hosts haven't been saying for years. At the same time other people at QVC are losing their jobs. That's sad.

I feel that many of the vendors could be eliminated altogether. They just add to the hard-sell. Who needs two salespeople, when often one is more than enough, IMO. If the host is well-prepared, the vendor becomes superfluous.
