I see QVC is offering this brand. I find this brand to have high prices for "silvertone." I've seen this in various gift shops around where i live.

wow! yes, a little pricy for silvertone. Not unlike another very popular brand that seems to have quite the following.

@EquuleusMaybe it's better in person? I've never seen this brand, but it's not price keeping me away. I do sort of like the stacked, colorful earrings but other than that, nothing interests me enough to spend anything at all. And those earrings could well be heavier than I'd like. As the Sharks say, "I'm out."

@millieshops Most of their pieces are large and heavy. I had a bracelet a couple years ago and returned it because it was so frustrating to work the closure. I bought it on sale and I thought it was silver. Turns out it wasn't.

I'd never heard of this brand before, until I saw it listed on the TV guide, so I recorded the show. Haven't watched it yet, but just went online to see what had been shown on air. Unbelievably high prices for silvertone. There is no way I'd pay those kinds of prices for fashion jewelry, so I won't be watching any further shows.

It's not as if sterling silver is all that expensive. Why bother with base metal?

Its made in Spain! I have a few pieces and the pieces that I do have I really love. I don't like all of the pieces but they do have some really nice ones.

@Equuleus,my friend gave me a bracelet a couple of yesrs ago, thinking was it was sterling' silver,because that's what the Sales associate told her( she's not jewelry Diva, in others words she does no how to check for identifying markers on jewelry).I research the brand and discover the jewelry is silver tone( after I broke out in a rash) While the jewelryi is well-made and substantial, the silver tone for me is a turn off. The bracelet has darken,and worn by as collar on my Steiff teddy bear.😏

They are crazy. I wouldn't pay those prices for silvertone even if i saw it on vacation.

Two jewelry stores in my area carry this line.

I don't care for it; most of the pieces are very heavy, especially the rings. They would be too uncomfortable to wear. The pieces I've seen locally are just too big and chunky for my taste.

IMO, the line is very overpriced for silvertone items.

I have seen it in jewelry stores, but it has never really interested me.

@kittyloo Pandora and Kendra Scott come to mind. These lines of jewelry are less expensive. What is QVC thinking?

I'm glad to know that I am not the only one that thinks the prices for this silvertone jewelry are a bit much.

@Equuleus I recorded the 1AM show and watched this morning. Kourtney mistakenly called a piece “silver” and the vendor corrected her that it was silvertone...plated. That’s 2 very different processes. Silver plated means silver is actually applied to the metal whereas silvertone is any base metal that has a silver-like color....aluminum, lead, nickel, tin, zinc, etc. Either way, not being silver, the prices were ridiculously high and looked the same thing available at The Loft or J Jill for less money.

@Shanus agreed. They keep mentioning that it's made in Spain. I don't care where in the world it's made, if it's not silver I'm not paying that price.

I like the dragonfly necklace. Kind of expensive.

I can't understand these prices either for jewelry that's not real silver or gold. A couple of other things I don't understand. Earlier I was looking at jewelry here on QVC. I saw a $2500 diamond ring and on the inside it was stamped, China. No way would I pay that much for a piece made in China. The other thing is the grade of the diamonds. Almost all are H color and I2 clarity. I have ordered a few diamond pieces from here and HSN and was surprised to see the grades were much better than what the description said. I think this will be the worst quality you get maybe? H color, I2 clarity. I probably should have made a seperate post about the diamond grades and pieces being made in China. Sorry about that.

The line you're speaking of, I don't see it lasting. I think the pieces will go on clearance because woman just aren't going to pay that much for costume jewelry.

@Equuleus I thought the same thing about the prices when I saw "silvertone" in the description. Sheesh I wouldn't pay those prices for good silver and certainly NOT for silvertone. But each to their own.

@GinaV24 If the jewelry line was silver instead of silver tone, the prices would be quite reasonable.
