Gem Day

SurferWife — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 04:21:40 GMT

Thank goodness QVC is finally having a day devoted to items that don't interest me. My husband is happy and my credit card is taking a 24-hour siesta!!

Jewelry was the only thing I bought when I first found QVC.

Technically it's 21 hours on air. Don't be surprised if Gem Day is history next year- some partial day designer events may continue, but all other 24-hour jewelry events have been summarily cancelled.

I agree, they have the worst gem jewelry I have ever seen, it's so old fashioned and cheep looking.

@SurferWife I agree. I have no interest in this because they offer no incentives to buy. I get better deals buying jewelry from Evine.

I agree SurferWife. I have watched off and on and I have not seen any incentives. I was shocked at how much the Special is. When I saw the picture of the rings I thought they were cute and then I saw the price. I agree about Evine.

Unfortunately for the Q, I imagine they've lost many jewelry shoppers to Evine and HSN while peddling the bronzo, especially Evine where they dare to have some innovative and imaginative designs. QVC always does what's "safe" so they sell stuff that's old fashioned and stodgy.

I disagree with some of the comments here. Other networks often overinflate their prices so their "sales" look great....evine has become famous for that. I'm enjoying some of the Q's broader choices in exotic stones and stones set in 14k...they're making a better effort than in recent years past. Their more sizable precious gemstones beat the other networks that sell chips of these.

It's like anything you buy anywhere -- you've got to root around for the best value and loupe the heck out of what you buy.

Grateful I bought "in the day", have some beautiful 14 and 18 kt gold pieces I would NEVER pay the current price for. Haven't seen similar in years except in Italy.

I don't wear silver, or plate, or bozo, I mean bronzo.

I'm with you, I'm a gold gal. I have found a few good deals (mostly on Evine) the last few years but I'm happy I bought years ago when Q was really a good gold retailer. Now most of their stuff is cheap and flimsy. But at least they aren't offering all opaque, rock looking stones this time.

If you want good gold at reasonable prices, check out sarrafdotcom.

On a good note Alberti has been doing a great job hosting last night--this morning.

Oh but wait...there is one clothes designer on today who never seems to skip a beat.

I ordered 2 Affinity Diamond pieces. One is the sterling ring with the round setting of blue stones. Very nice. Also ordered the matching earrings, square style J291636. But I received the ovals, J291637. The inner package was incorrectly labled, it wasn't the "pickers" fault.

They are probably going back, don't want the hassle of trying to get the right product. Good grief, I ordered TWO items! I guess I'm lucky to get anything at all!

Not for me at all 😟. I'm not a fan of jewelry especially gold.

The last three pieces of jewelry I purchased all fell apart. I bought the Extraordinary Life set of 3 bracelets and all of the charm's broke off while I was still paying ez pay! I had also ordered 2 sterling silver charm bracelets and they both broke. QVC's quality has gone way down and their prices are high for jewelry that is poorly made. I no longer rush to buy jewelry or clothes from the Q anymore due to the lack of what they claim to stand for QUALITY!

Ita @hsawaknow. Their jewelry isn't what it used to be.
