Interesting. I think I have similar ones in my jewelry box. I may have purchased them a few years ago. Maybe with a video we can get a better idea of them.

Very mid 80's look.

Those might actually be pretty if they were done in sterling silver. Note that it appears the plating is already wearing off the ear wires on the sample pictured.

That ain't such a bad thing. I just like sharing when I can. No harm in that. I realize I'll probably get more snarky remarks but that's OK. Just passing along the info.

Nothing I would wear. But her jewelry items that have been shown on these forums are just not my style anyway

Definitely not my taste either, but then again I wouldn't buy brass or bronze jewelry. No offense to those who like it.

@winamac1 They're electroform so they'd be very lightweight.

I had earrings and a ring in 1980 that looked like those. They were called "shrimp" earrings and rings. It really is a very dated look. Earrings that size and fit don't usually flatter. It looks like something worn by Abby Fairgaite , Cunningham,Eweing,Sunmer from In it's Landing,lol.

They may not be heavy, but they are bulky-large. I don't think they look flattering or attractive on Lisa. Also have never liked the color of 18K gold as plating/layers, as IMO it never looks quite the same as genuine solid 18K and tends to have a costume jewelry look. They are at least more appropriately priced, if not a bargain.

I saw the earrings this morning and thought they were nice.

I too have some shrimp pieces from the 80's. My dear sweet grandmother bought me a shrimp ring for Christmas in 1985 and I wear it every day on my middle finger left hand. Just where I put it after I opened the box. Slip it off on the few days a year I wear silver but I love gold and love the shrimp ring from Mam-Ma.

I like them and think they look great on Lisa. If I wasn't so close to retirement and on a "if you don't need it don't buy it" regimen, I would buy them.

RainyDayGal — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:11:24 GMT

They don't look like the shrimp design to me. It looks more like when people take fabric and wrap it around a pillow in "pleats". It is not a look I care for, they are just big and clunky looking.

Lisa will wear these and tell you they are simply AMAZING until the next piece is sold. Then these earrings will go away never to be seen by her wearing them again. She'll then wear her next jewelry item she wants you to buy from her and tell you just how great that is. Pose & take daily selfies until that item is sold. And round and round we go. Keep LR's pockets lined so she can buy what she TRULY LOVES and that's all high end merchandise.

Women on her FB page are so gullible. Lisa is a queen of manipulation.

These newest earrings look nothing to write home about anyway. So outdated in style and clunky looking for everyday wear. Waste of $$$ especially for PLATED jewelry that she wants you to believe is better than real.

When Lisa was on QVC how often did she preach she loves only the real thing. My how times have changed!

The first thing I thought was "Yup, Lisa always said she loved 80 earrings!".....

I actually like the wrap-shrimp-like design but don't like how thick they are, I'd love them a bit more refined but there's no way I can wear bronze no matter what they cover it with or how it's covered....

From a distance they look like bottle caps. Up close you can see the design chopped off on the inside. Not a good look either way.
