I agree, @nana59

We no longer get a full day of silver, but they continue to show gold. UGHHH

Not for me either. None of my friends even wear gold jewelry anymore unless a wedding ring or expensive watch. Haven’t turned on Q today.

I have no desire to spend my money on the gold jewelry that QVC carries these days. I have some gold from years gone by. Nothing like it any more, sadly. I've become a silver convert....readily.

their CA gold rush shows get more corny every year. thank goodness Q2 has fashion on now. i was afraid it would get preempted. does imperial gold seriously have only 1 design in their entire line?

My late husband bought me some amazing jewelry. Most of it I've given to my daughters.

At this stage of my life (71) I'm not about to spend a lot of money buying jewelry that wouldn't have any sentimental value to my daughters.

They'd just have to (probably) sell it or give it to their daughters...whatever.

Anyway, I love wearing jewelry and still have a lot of it. Some of it is fake but the 'colored' stones are all real. I have very few diamonds (don't like them).

As it is now, when I leave the house I joke to my friend I must look like Mr. T in his prime (so much jewelry).

I don't mind it when they have these shows because I save money because I'm not the least bit tempted to buy anything.

I also think it's nice for those who want to buy it to be able to see it. However, my guess is a good amount of QVC's audience are (for the most part) not interested in maybe buying more than one or two pieces of gold jewelry.

Perhaps I'm wrong.

Twenty years ago I would have loved 24 hours of gold. I think I bought something almost every week from Mary Beth on Wednesday night

Imperial gold IS very limited in design. But viewers love them because they offer little solid gold bars linked. Who cares about the design? The normal QVC offer is hollow. So the viewers buy.

many wanted a return to a full day of gold-and better selection-and more different and higher-end designs. it seems to me that QVC has delivered. i have seen many new and interesting designs which i appreciate and admire - even if not in my budget - and think there is something in every price range. sometimes windowshopping is as much fun as purchasing.enjoy!

I think it's great to see something beautiful and very different on air. Not everything will be for everyone.

Not interested in gold jewelry at the current prices, but if you like gold I guess you will buy it. When you think of it, the basic gold standard in Italy 18kt. why would you even consider buying 14kt, I see 10 kt is being sold too. JB is on and I have to turn the channel or mute because she is over bearing with her sales pitch.

Gold jewelry show=BORING! Don't even want to watch when Antonella is on, and I love her!

@songbird i care about design. i don’t care what metal it is. i like all kinds. the look is my priority. if i bought jewelry to invest in, that’s the time design won’t matter. i have enough of those pieces.

I could care less what the gold standard is in Italy. I'm in the USA!

I have 18 kt, but prefer 14k.

Have bought two of the most beautiful and substantial pieces (34 gr bangle) ever within the past two years.

Don't really watch the shows, but have been looking all along on line for the past day or so.

Nothing is *haunting* me at this point, but if anything does....click....purchase....pay.

I'll never tire of gold jewelry, there's enough days in the weeks, months, years to wear it all.

not every skin tone looks good with 18k. i prefer the look of 14k frankly. it interests me little what the standard is elsewhere. i want to enjoy my jewelry and so i want it to be attractive on me.

I have a hand full of pieces of solid gold jewelry, and most I've had for decades, very timeless pieces.

I don't live a lifestyle that necessitates any more than what I have, so I don't watch.

If I were to invest my time and money into any jewelry again, it would be gold, and I still love to look at gold jewelry. I think it is the most timeless and richest of all the metals.

@ms traditional @Lucky Charm, I agree...14k is enough gold content for me. If I’m going to spend more for a piece, it’s going to be for a certain gemstone. I’d rather spend on a better stone than a higher grade of gold.

Nothing against anyone who feels differently. To each her own. 😊
