What is your take?

Bonkers1 — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 18:40:59 GMT

On the TSV. Personally I love jewelry especially sparkling jewelry. However I can't seem to hop on the bronze train.

It's ok but I'm not a fan of bronze nor do I wear jewelry very much.

i dont mind bronze jewelry.

i have some from RLM when he was mixing metals and doing bronze plated pieces. they have held up perfectly after all these years.

i just dont NEED this type of piece now.

it seems like a great basic, but i am now in my WOW phase LOL.....i need more WOW pieces than basics.

Jewelry is not the fashion "trend" as it was say 20 years ago IMO. With the silver and gold prices lately it is more of an investment if anything. Would not purchase plated etc.

Not for me. Looks like a style that was popular years ago. Just doesn't wow me.

It's a way for those who are priced out of the 14K or 18K market to have some gold clad pieces .

Wendy Russo sold various lines on SHOPHq :Toscano, 18K Vitale , Voga 18K and Sorrento silver a line from Italy . I think one was was bronze with gold clad.

Wendy Russo is now a Brand Ambassador for Cartier at the watches of Switzerland.

@Bonkers1

While the TSV is pretty, it's just not my style (too bold for me) I do like Bronze and DM's stuff.

I have 4 of DM's necklaces (I know...I went a little crazy).

I have 3 of the Bronze cube link necklaces, one in Rose, one in Mocha and one in 2 tone Rose/Mocha and I have one of his paperclip necklaces in Mocha.

And I LOVE them all, first I fell in love with the Mocha color, it's so unique and vintage-ie looking and I think it looks great with my red hair and complexion. The quality for the short time I've owned them seems great to me.

So, I'm a big fan but this is coming from a jewelry non-snob/novice. I'm not a fine jewlery lover/owner.....

Own 3 of these in different colors listed above:

Moda Al Mossimo on JTV is beautiful, 18K over bronze.

I recently bought one of his necklaces because it was 24" and they're expensive and hard to fine. Basically, it's a piece of junk, not even attractive. People would do better to buy good quality costume. It's also a poor value, small and skimpy for the price.

@sunshine45

I need more wow also.

@Kachina624

I just love you - right to the point.

SamBrown — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 20:30:04 GMT

I consider bronze, plated jewelry junk.

@Kachina624 so funny...tell us what you really think

I'm not interested in the TSV. But I have a few David Markstein gold plated bronze necklaces and some hoop earrings that are beautiful; also Bronzo Italia earrings - gorgeous.

Solid gold is just too expensve these days.

No I don’t like any overlay. I have enough jewelry so not looking to buy anymore. I’d not give it as a gift.

Haha, Oh my...

Come on now, it's not that bad!

Like I said before I love my pieces but it may seem like junk to jewelry connoisseurs, I don't know..... I'm not a big time jewelry person.

That Mocha color is just really unique and striking to me....

Expensive costume jewelry. Not worth the price to me. I'd rather have stainless steel and that doesn't cost a lot.
