Gem Day

Anyone ordering? I do love the stone presence on that tsv ring, I'm attracted to the garnet. Looks beautiful on tv.

Don't know if I would take a chance ordering. Five dollars to ship that ring too, and a return fee. Should probably clean and wear what I have. Including a gold garnet tennis bracelet that I haven't worn in quite a while.

I haven't seen a presentation but I'm not impressed with the design.

I like the fishy, but not $250 worth of like.

Depends on the quality and whether 14k or is it costume jewelry.

Use to be you can find nice quality pieces at a $100 price point but no longer.

Hey, you only need ONE!

@lolakimono $250 for the fishy? I assume it's jade. I love jade but I don't have any.

For that price you could take a weekend trip to go fishing 😊

If you want gemstones at a reasonable price go to shoplc!!! Dan Dennis & Karen Connolly are just some of the hosts-prices are incredible!!

Not a fan of the TSV. I just looked through the previously aired and everything I like is way beyond my budget. I'm not into gemstones in silver. Enjoy if you buy!

I'm not much of a gemstone fan, but I did buy that Heidi Daus necklace on HSN yesterday. I know they aren't "real" gemstones, but I just loved that necklace! And what a bargain! Yesterday - $129.95. Today - $279.95. Now THAT'S a "special"!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really like the garnet but I'm afraid when I get it home it will be too dark. The way this is mounted though should allow the light to shine through. It's been a long time sing they have presented the reddish brown garnet gems. I like the pendants too. I purchased a necklace in ss, brass and green turq from American West so I am probably going to pass. Like the amethyst too!

ETA: It's a no go for sure. I just looked online at the description and I don't care for the rhodium plating around the gemstones. It would make the garnet too dark for sure I think.

@Greeneyedlady21

My CP ring is now on clearance-

Maybe...

@KentuckyWoman I figured it was rhodium, I saw it only very briefly and bleary eyed insomnia this am.

I guess they did that for something different? I do like the antique look of some rhodium but I don't know...

I like the tsv, but $5 for shipping and handling is too much. I would consider order two colors but I do not want to pay 10 in shipping. Crazy.

Another ho hum tsv. What else is new...

Think the TSV is lovely but don't know where I would wear it.

I do not care for the black plating underneath the stones. This has been a technique they have transitioned to in the last few years and I would just never buy any jewelry with the black. I feel it is a way to hide flaws either in the stones or the polish of the metal.

I miss Peyton telling stories about stones. It is like watching someone ooohing and ahhhing and the person that knows about it is silenced.

You haven't seen the jadeite at Gem Shopping. About a thousand a piece. These are crated by a Myamar designer Shentee (not sure how to spell, but that's how you pronounce) Big junks of jadeite in endless colors. Hard to believe they are that expensive, but they are. Those that are not set in 18K or platinum (just by itself) big chunky bangles are under a thousand. About $550.00.

By the way, there is a difference between Jade and Jadite. Couple of thousand dollars difference.
