When was the last time you saw a Q jewelry item....

faeriemoon — Fri, 30 Aug 2019 13:19:37 GMT

.... and said to yourself, "I have to have that!!!"?

I can't remember the last time. It might have been that thick JAI bangle with quite a bit of gold on it. But then I read the reviews with complaints about clasp trouble (among other things) and never ordered.

Back in the day I used to see things I wanted all the time. These days I'm sure having enough jewelry has quite a bit to do with it, but I would love to see something that makes me drool.

@faeriemoon I have too much jewelry too and I can’t remember the last time I saw an item I had to have.I think I am finally done and that is a good thing.

I honestly can't remember. I think it's been at least a year since I bought anything, but it wasn't an "I must have that" item.

Like others, I have too much, as it is. Also, so often I read the reviews for an item that looks nice and there are issues with it, so I pass. The prices have also gotten too high for me. I have so much from the "old days" that is excellent quality. Now, when I look at something, I think "I'm sure I have something like that already".

Occasionally I'll buy new earrings, but not even those so much anymore.

I do agree with you @faeriemoon - and have to confess I don't tune in to the jewelry they are selling bc it seems so expensive for plated now. Q used to have the bracelet showcase, ring hour, earrings, GEMS, etc. They really got away from jewelry shows and replaced with constant beauty items, skincare, etc; although it seems like it's making a comeback for them. I bought tons of the Q's jewelry when gold was reasonable. I remember drooling, and having the plenty of 'have to have it' moments but now I go to my TJMAXX jewelry counter when the urge strikes. Can't beat the prices or selection. But I so know what you mean! Not the same.

@LoveMyBaby Completely agree!! Loved the "Showcase" shows too!

@faeriemoon I have stopped buying jewelry for the most part. The only thing I still would like to have is something with morganite, either a ring or earrings. Other than that I do see things I would like to own but usually the feeling goes away because I make myself dwell on it and ask myself do I really want or need that? Seems to help me, I no longer jump on purchases......though it took me a long time to learn.

The prices definitely scare me off. I've learned to appreciate what I already have. I,too, miss the days of affordable gold prices.

I love the Or Paz line, I've bought about 9 of their items.

I haven't been into the rainbow jewelry fad. But I did fall for the Ripka rainbow dial watch, holding out until it was on clearance to buy it with the black strap. It is gorgeous in person. Right now, I am holding out on a Heidi Daus/HSN suite: I know it is not QVC per se, but I don't want to be searching ebay for these three pieces a year from now.

Well, now that I think of it.......eons ago. I used to really love Diamonique, but now I'm a half-size in rings, so I can't order any....they're either too small or too big. The jewelry is just too big for my frame size as well.

I should add that I put products in my wish list, and then revisit the list later on to see if I really want something.

About 2 yrs ago for the Jan gold event, I bought a nice solid bangle. I think it's like 32 grams.

It's an everyday piece and I can honestly say I've never actually wore the same thing every day before this purchase.

I have a lot of nice solid, highly polished pieces from here there and everywhere, but this is my all time favorite.

I also bought an Affinity 18K white gold diamond tennis bracelet. I always turned my nose up at Affinity because the diamonds looked like dirty, crunchy bits of sand and if specs were listed, they were almost always SI. But this one is a winner at VS and I'm glad I took the plunge. Unfortunately, I don't wear it often and usually only when hosting at my home, or at a family member's or a very close friend's. I'm so afraid of losing it!

Probably 15 years. I don't watch jewelry shows anymore. I have more than enough jewelry.

For me, it was when the price of gold skyrocketed.

I then realized that I owned enough fine jewelry to last for the rest of my life and even sold a lot of pieces.

I love and enjoy wearing my pieces of 'old'.

Honestly? Never. QVC just never had anything I liked. HSN, on the other hand, I buy quite a bit.

Recently I bought 3 very nice Or Paz rings for a steal but I searched for them, I didn't see them on a show.

Suzeecat — Fri, 30 Aug 2019 15:41:10 GMT

I wear very little jewelry, mostly earrings. Most of the jewelry on QVC is just out of my price range anyway. However, I purchased a cute little bracelet on special from Jay King on HSN last weekend and hope to receive it today. Can't wait!

Probably have purchased all the fine gemstone rings and diamonds I intend to have. More into sterling silver now. I like Or Paz. Purchased a tree of life ring I loved. Took it off to wash hands at public sink at campus, where I work, and walked off and left it. Now it's someone else's treasure. But I do find items to buy on sale.
