JTV ring

Not of fan of JTV. Too much silver rings with rhodium on it that lasts 6 months. But I like this one. Clover ring. Saw it this moning between election results. Pretty thing. Sold out in the common size 6. Would have loved to see this diamonds set in 18K. Wow.

I enjoy watching "spinning rings" as my DH calls them

That is a really pretty setting.

Has anyone purchased from them?

I agree with you. That's a beautiful ring. I like JTV and the Bella Luce collection. What I can't figure out is why Charles Winston creates moissanite rings in silver coated rings? They don't have what I consider upscale jewelry, but some of their stuff is nice.

Shame the rhodium will come off. Especially on a ring finger. The more you wear it, the faster the finish will come off. Then you're stuck with just silver.

I have never had the rhodium wear off any piece of jewelry that I own. And I own quite a few bella rings that I wear on a regular basis.

If the rhodium does wear off, you can have things replated at a jeweler. When I got married 30 years ago, my wedding set was done in yellow gold. About 10 years ago I wanted it to be white so my local jeweler rhodium plated it for me. When I decided I wanted it yellow again, he buffed off the plating.

A lot of white gold is rhodium plated as well.

Other than platinum, white metals such as silver and white gold are plated with rhodium which can be redone by a jeweler. Around my neck of the woods that costs around $50 for a ring.

That's a very pretty ring. Rhodium over sterling or even white gold isn't uncommon. JTV offers a protection plan that you can purchase in the event the finish wears off. They will replate for free.

As for not having high end pieces.......haven't you seen their tanzanite pieces in 14 and 18 kt gold???? There are some fabulous loose gems as well. Of course, the price tags go along with the quality.

As for Charles Winston....he's tapping into the market. His family has always been known for high end pieces. That said, when someone spends multi thousand on 1 ring, they don't replace it.

I like that their hosts are very knowledgeable about the gemstones. They also seem to have a variety of designs and price ranges for everyone.

It just deosn't last very long, especially a ring. My 18K white gold has rhodium and has never changed in appearance. have a tri color 18K ring that has white gold, but not rhodium. I saw a note the jeweler did after I brought it in to be repaired. I had no idea it was without rhodium. Anyway, that ring shines just as well. Ultra fine silver from QVC is amazing. No rhodium but it outshines Sterling Silver and doesn't tarnish!

Not all white gold is rhodium plated. Sometimes the white gold metal is alloyed to make it white through to the core, rather than yellow, and if that type of alloyed white gold is rhodium plated then when it wears off it's not as noticeable as it would be on silver or yellow gold.

My tri color18K white gold ring still shines. I've had it over 12 years. And it does not have rhodium on it. It has 3 seperate colors. Yello, rose & white. The white part does not have rhodium.

I have silver rings with rhodium plating that are 20 plus years old and the rhodium plating is just fine. I only buy silver rings that have rhodium or platinum plating because I know I am getting a finish that will last for many years. JTV does re-stock some of their items so if you really like it, put it on your wish list and look for it.

I have this ring. It is very feminine and the cut of the center stone is most unusual. I am very happy with it. Looks believable too.

I have never had rhodium come 9ff. I love rhodium over silver. My rings never tarnish. I really enjoy my Bella rings. Vanna K has beautiful pieces.
