Gem Shopping Network

Say Nay — Mon, 12 Jan 2015 00:07:13 GMT

I just saw a ring for sale for over $200,000.

And here I thought the Affinity bracelet for $5,000 was a lot

Has anyone purchase from them? Are they legit?

I have gotten several pieces from them. I have gotten a beautiful tanzanite ring, emerald ring and morganite ring. Altogether I have gotten about 10-15 pcs from them. As far as tv shopping goes, they have the best quality jewelry. I love their estate sale pieces. I have picked up some beautiful art deco pieces. Just wonderful craftmanship. I have everything I buy from anywhere appraised and the guy who does it for me said I got excellent deals. I have been happy with everything I have gotten.

I'm watching and their quality blows the other networks away. Of course their prices are high and they show one of a kind pieces but wow. There are b&m shops that don't carry the quality this network does.

Have you returned anything? I'm wondering how easy it is to send something back and get a refund. Thanks.

Yes I have. I've gotten a beautiful ruby ring, a semi precious bracelet and a gorgeous strand of pastel pearls. None of them were cheap, but I sent them out to an appraiser {NOT a jeweler} to be appraised and the ring and pearls came back significantly higher than I paid. That show can be positively addicting.

You're right about that. I have it on in the background on my computer. Yellow diamonds, pink diamonds, alexandrite, oh my!

Margo, I just checked them out online since they're not carried by my cable. I have a question if you don't mind...

1. how do you know how much to offer on the pieces that say, "call to negotiate on your best price?"

I think if you can get in the neighborhood of what they are asking, for instance if the tag says $25,000 and you offer $18,000 they might sell. Of course that doesn't apply to all items, it seems to apply to items they want to liquidate quickly.
