Remember when we could afford to buy 14k jewelry? I miss those days.

I won't spend my money on overpriced gold.

We Miss The Quality Gold QVC Used To Carry:(

QVC stopped carrying quality gold items some time ago. Most of their jewelry now looks cheap or gaudy. Items are hollow or light weight, and the few pieces that are solid and have gram weight are priced rediculously high. QVC quit trying to act like you all are still giving customers quality gold at competive prices. Customers know the difference. Look at the average customer ratings for your gold and gem jewelry. Affinity, and other higher end gold and gem brands have not been getting good reviews for some time, and yet you continue to sell only their products. Wake up! The majority of jewelry buying customers aren’t happy.

Those are scrap prices and not even Q can buy gold for that. Gold is currently selling for $1355.30 an ounce. I'm sure Q gets it much cheaper but certainly not at scrap prices. Plus they also have to pay for a jeweler's labor and costs as well as shipping, storing, staffing, fulfillment of orders, etc etc.

That said, Q's gold prices are way too high compared to many retailers. Check out sarrafdotcom if you want better gold, great customer service, and lower prices.

ITA! these prices are insane. The tri color Imperial gold necklace for $1800! It isn't even made as well as when they had it on years ago.

I treated myself to the mirror bar bracelet for Christmas. Got it for $37 a gr from the bay. Brand new. Still much higher than pre ‘08 prices. But cheaper than sale prices listed here.

Not sure why saraff.com is mentioned here. I ordered ahead of time, specified the date I need to receive the item. This website did not bother to respond or acknowledge anything. I returned the package because it arrived waaayyy after the specified date. I can't say anything about the quality, but the customer service sucked to me.

Another thing, when you look at bracelet, it looks like 1 gr cost around 50 dollars. If you go to any jewelry store, you will have very hard time finidng anything at this price point. Most jewelry stores charge at least 100 dollars per gram. And they don't even have gram weight in the beginning when you ask about it.

Well made gold costs $. There are no bargains. QVC is charging the going rate for gold. We will probably never see those 90's prices again.

Scrap or not....their need to change their name and take off QVC..since they tout constantly about their ability to buy at low prices and such...Q= quality (no, not anymore) V=value (heck no) and C=convenience (a big no again).... 3 strikes u r out, hahaaa..

(I had them remove me from their mailings as I'm done...but I still feel for the newbies or others. I'll keep quiet now.) u_u

I'm aquarius so I'm a fixer for humanity...

I had no idea 14K was about $100 per gram (for a station necklace). :-O

Re: GOLD SALE ? LOL

songbird — Wed, 24 Jan 2018 17:59:12 GMT

But 14K is just a little over half gold......a lot of money chasing little gold.

@Trinity11 Q is selling gold at retail prices and calling it low, sale prices. Any of these pieces can be purchased wholesale or on sale at local dept. stores for much less.

@Shanus. They are sale prices for QVC. As far as purchasing wholesale, many consumers have no access to wholesale prices. Dept Store jewelry for the most part is low quality. Macy's carry a few brands but for the most part any of their diamond jewelry except solitaires is I2, K color goods. QVC is selling an identical pair of earrings that Macy's is selling and the Q is selling it for half price.

I have purchased Roberto Coin gold jewelry in Saks but it is expensive. I will always believe that the consumer isn't getting any so called bargains on well made jewelry and that comes from years of experience having worked in the industry. I also have friends who are dealers....

I guess we will need to agree to disagree.

What are Ross Simons prices like on gold? I've never purchased gold from them, but I like their jewelry.

well last night, I reminded myself that this is a "want" not a "need" and so I am admiring (I love gold jewelry) but not buying.

Re: GOLD SALE ? LOL

I found a large pair of white gold hoops via the "sale" and purchased them. I've been looking for 2 inch white gold hoops for awhile and what my local stores carry is....junk or WAY too small.

I wear hoops most of the time and have white gold and platinum in many sizes and styles but not a classic 2 inch polished hoop. I'm happy.

I didn't really find anything interesting. Plus I couldn't afford most of it. These aren't sale prices. JMO!

Not really the 90's prices. I didn't even watch QVC until 2005, and I got a lot of great jewelry for prices nothing like today.

For the first time, I purchased nothing.
