Evine's Gem Week has started with Chuck, 12 eastern Friday. I'm hoping the weather remains lousy so DH won't drag me outside this weekend. Can't wait to see Michael Valitutti's offerings.

I love watching Gem Week. They have so many vendors, a large price range. I have purchased several pieces from Gem Week and I love them. A couple years ago Michael had a natural pink sapphire ring, I love this piece.

Paul had a very nice blue topaz and sleeping beauty ring that sold out quickly. I so enjoy the Gem Week. Should be nice pieces and prices.

Michael V. is on now with his TS. It is a lovely london blue topaz.

Who's getting the London Blue? I recently got 144-260, which the LB multi stone ring. It's beautiful and probably more sparkly than a solitare. Besides, I'm not buying from Evine. It's a beautiful ring, however.

I agree, @Kachina624...that multi-stone band ring is among my favorites. Sorry you had a difficult time with Evine's CS!

I am loving this gem show. Nothing has called my name yet, however Dallas Prince has a nice ring im looking at # 151-752 and Michael's london blue with the 3 stones down the middle with two tiny blue sapphires # 146-128 on each side. I love the gem show.

I like the design of Michael Valitutti pieces, but the quality is not great. There is no substance in his settings. I had two of them literally bent in half, without any real effort on my part. I so much admired the design, and I got many compliments, but c'mmon, you need to made the band solid.

I am sorry to hear about ring. The rings I have purchased from him are extremely substantial and I could not bend them if I tried.

@sunshine 919 Hi there, yellow...hope all is well. Michael's 3 stone north/south LBT ring is one of my very favorite pieces. The gems are fabulous, fit is perfect and weight is impressive. It's extremely comfortable on the finger. If you decide to purchase this beauty, I don't think you'll be disappointed. Enjoy the shows!

@alice87 Sorry your purchases from Michael V. didn't work out for you. I can honestly say that each of my purchases from Gems en Vogue has exceeded my expectations in terms of gem quality, artistic design and integrity of settings. Most of his rings weigh more than 10 grams of silver/palladium...much heavier than is typical of many other designers. Hope you enjoy the shows!

Hi depglass,

1. did you have the lousy weather I wished for you?

2. did you see anything you liked in the show?

Re: And we're off !

sunshine 919 — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 14:57:20 GMT

I have wanted a larimar ring for a long time so I just purchased Michael V's larimar. It looks gorgeous on TV and of course his design is amazing. Will post my review. Hope everyone is enjoying the show.

Funny, the ring I got did not even had 3 gr of his blend of silver palladium, and the ring was huge. The other ring just bend again, because it was hollow. I will try to find pic. I like design of both rings, but the quality was awful.

Gems en Vogue Choice of Birthstone Mini Cocktail Ring - 150-441

I had April ring. I loved it so much, but in less than 2 weeks it was badly scratched, damaged, and bended in half, because I was driving with it in rush hour. I can't bend any of the rings I own, except Michael Valitutti.

Second one, I did not even wear. It weight less than 3 gr of weight, I mailed it back immediately.
