Isaac selling a fake pearl necklace for $58.00 ?

Come on, enough is enough with QVC and their "designer"

prices. This is just another nail in the QVC shopping coffin.

I believe he's not the only designer selling costume jewelry on QVC with faux pearls at similar pricing.

@gmabee38. You need to step away from the TV and go check retail prices for nice fashion jewelry.

Why are there quotations around designer, when it’s referring to Isaac Mizrahi?

I have a feeling IM has a team who designs the fashion and accessories and he just gives it his blessing. I think other budding designers can benefit from his experience and he should by now know what sells.

Why quotes around designer....IMO he looses credibility as a designer if he thinks it's OK to price a piece of jewelry at 58.00 & readily admits it's "fake" when you can find similar necklaces/jewelry in Walmart or Target for 12.99.

I stopped watching QVC on TV even if for just background

noise.

Occasionally, I'll check them out while on my laptop. FYI

I do all of my shopping at retail stores. If I decide to spend

58.00 on fashion jewelry, you can bet I'm going to see it up

close and personal.

@gmabee38 I'm surprised they priced his tsv at (only) $33.00. I would think about picking up one but there are no closures on it. I've seen lately so many longer cardis like this here, really nice ones but no one seems to be putting fasteners on them.

Most of the designers are selling fashion jewelry to complement their clothing lines. I didn't see the necklace but $58 is not a lot to pay for high end, high quality fashion jewelry. You can find fashion jewelry that costs hundreds of dollars in the better department stores and boutiques.

@gmabee38 Got to agree with you on this - I see great designs on all sorts of necklaces at my targets and for $58 I can ususally get earrings to go with or a bracelet to go with. There are so many more B&M that also sell designer pieces for less.

Joan Rivers' line has been selling fashion jewelry for decades. Susan Graver, Logo and most other lines have their own fashion jewelry.

Don't forget......QVC is the one who sets the prices for the items sold on QVC.......not the vendors..... they also are the ones who indicate the "retail price" on the item listing on TV...........i just use my common sense when checking the prices and suggested retail prices.....usually over priced for my taste these days....buying less and less...

@Kelsey.....I realize that some or perhaps all of the designers selling on QVC do not set their own prices on their items, whether it be clothing, jewelry or whatever......but I do feel that they do or should retain some control over their goods.....and if they don't and leave it to QVC, they are relinguishing all of their creations to critisism and QVC's need for profits at all costs, & do not really care about their product and more importantly, their reputation as so called "designers."

@gmabee38

None of the vendors set the prices. It isn’t an option. QVC sets all prices for all items they sell. QVC also decides what items they will sell. They tell the vendors what they want.

@gmabee38, except for a Linea blazer, I have not bought any fashion item from QVC in over 2 years. It's not the same as in earlier years and I can find more items that suit me, either in other online sites or B&M stores these days. I no longer even turn the channel on. I don't miss it, at all. I come to the boards off and on to see if anything is different, and it isn't.

He used to sell a line at Target which was much more affordable than what his pieces are priced at Q. I don't recall if he designed jewelry for Target, though.

@gmabee38 Just before Christmas and right after, JJill has a big sale 40% & 50% off sale prices. They still have some jewelry marked down so check it out. I bought a really cute pair of earrings that are no longer available but they do have some jewelry. QVC has raised their prices too high and other retailers marked down and offer percentages off too.

Re: Isaac

gmabee38 — Sun, 19 Jan 2020 23:18:01 GMT

I completely agree with you. I too have given up on many, many of QVCs products and I don't mean just clothing. I loved their Diamonique, but have seen other examples of recent pieces and they too have changed considerably.

The increase in price, especially Susan Graver's clothing is the most blatant offender. I still woner why she gets so much attention but I'm sure it's because she has a huge following who have lots of money to spend on clothing that are comparable to Target, JCP at much lower prices.

Personally I feel the convenience of shopping from home is not worth the price nor the quality, especially not on QVC.

I'M sure I will get plenty of backlash from QVC loyalists for my criticism, but this is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

gmabee38 — Sun, 19 Jan 2020 23:19:59 GMT

I love J.Jill, but not their prices that's why I do all of my JJill shopping when they have their sales.
