Anyone know anything about darling Suarti who used to present such beautiful and affordable artisan jewelry from Bali? I sure miss her and would LOVE to see her return to the Q - we need this type of jewelry!!!!!!

I heard Peyton say during a clearance show that QVC was not getting the artisan crafted items anymore like they used to. He did not say why or anything more about it.

Well, that's a shame. I have many beautiful pieces from Suarti's range. I started collecting them, when I still lived in England and was thrilled to find them on QVC here, when I moved back.

Just another example of QVC dumbing down its offerings and another reason to do less shopping with them. They're so generic now (and expensive for what they do offer) that it's become boring.

I have purchased quite a few of Suarti's pieces through the years for myself, as well as for gifts. I love all of them. The intricate hand crafting is exquisite. I also love my JAI pieces, but don't think one line should replace the other, as they are different. Maybe @Peyton_Kelley can influence QVC to bring Suarti's jewelry back if enough of us request it.

I have many of her pieces and still wear them to this day. I miss the artisan crafted line. I do love the American West and Carolyn Pollack line. I hope they keep her around for a long time. I

That really is a shame. I agree that her jewelry was beautiful and reasonably priced....unlike the current designer lines, like Bixby who is on right now, or the so-called lower end of the John Hardy line. Even if I might like one of their pieces, I'm not buying just because I resent the very unreasonable and, in most cases, even obscene prices for what you are getting.

At least Evine has beautiful and reasonably priced artisan jewelry. I saw Dominique Dinouart on there not long ago. Love her jewelry too.

The replaced her Balinese-made jewelry that was reasonably priced with Jai Balinese-made jewelry that is double or more the price of what Suarti presented.

Gee, do you suppose they weren't getting artesian items because they didn't order any?

The American buyers didn't order any. QVC UK still has a few Suarti Collection items available on their website.

Unfortunately, it's terribly difficult to order anything when they don't present anything to order.

Never cared for her. I thought the dancing business was a little over the top.

Peyton is under a lot of pressure to compete with lower priced lines from other channels. I like the JAI line, but like above poster said, (sorry, I should quote name) I resent the prices some of this stuff is offered for. And we never get the "good" sale prices when items get closed out.
