Disappointing Gold Day so far

CalminHeart — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 14:06:46 GMT

I found just one piece of gold jewelry I like so far. I bought it in another color for 1/4 the current sale/gold day price. Yes, I know gold is very expensive now but had hoped for deeper discounts like Q has offered on past gold days.

Otherwise, it's pretty much the same old, same old in cheap lightweight-breaks-the-first-week styles or super expensive styles.

yeah, I like flat, plain gold, bangles, cuffs, flat bracelets like Imperial gold makes. Got one and probably all I'll ever get unless gold would bottom out

LOL

I haven’t seen any gold jewelry costing less than a few thousand dollars that makes me want to buy it. I actually bought my last piece of gold in late 2013 and I’ve barely even browsed gold much for about the last 5 years.

even before the pandemic shut off nearly any out of the house activities except grocery shopping, I rarely wore bracelets so I know I could/should dig them out and sell them.

@CalminHeart couldn't agree more.

They're advertising J 371267 right now and I like the one at Sam's Club better for 416 and is 7.7 grams of gold . LOL All polished. don't care for textured. Looks like it's beat up. ROFL

@CalminHeart

I agree, the chains on the pendants/necklaces sure look super fine, likely to last no time before they break.

And if the chain is attached to the pendant, the whole thing is a loss if the chain breaks.

Not tempted by anything.

I would never expect to find good deals on gold today, especially on the Q.

I don't care for initial pendants, expecially like these that lay sideways, people have to tilt their heads to see what letter it is?! Silly design, IMO.

I sold most of my gold years ago when the prices were good. Most of it was from here and I was pleased to find it was actually what they said it was. lol real gold!

sold off lot of mine last yr when gold hit 2,000, down, now, but, not enough for me to let loose to much. LOL Mine was bought yrs ago, and kept for many, a many yr. can't take it with you and nobody wants or nobody I think that much of to leave too. LOL Get that money and spend on myself I'm just replacing with lesser value stuff.

shoot I'm paying out the wazoo to insure a ring I got. It went up 30 bucks this yr.

Yes, that is a pretty bracelet at Sams. I like the two tone.

Well, I am certainly enjoying a full day dedicated to fine jewelry!!

It is such a nice way to spend the day--drooling and dreaming.

I also think many QVC shoppers have too much past history with the company--we can all remember the days of lower prices, heavier-weight gold, and so forth, and may have collections to match.

But if someone told me to pick out ten free pieces of QVC gold jewelry to take home, I could DEFINITELY do it!!

But when I have to whip out my credit card, I am much more picky and reluctant. But yes, there are a few temptations!

So, QVC is finally offering 10 karat gold - very disappointing IMO.

Very disappointing, indeed. Nothing at all has caught my interest. Uninspired designs, inflated prices, no thank you.

I actually like the way the initial lies. If you have to tilt your head to read one letter you have a problem. I've never seen an initial necklace any other way. What stopped me is the fine chain, it won't last very long.

I always price shop too. I found an online retailer that offers gold jewelry at a lower price per gram than Q...even with gold hitting $2000.

Thought gold event went through January 23. They already raised the price on many items that were lower yesterday and still calling sale price.

I agree. The letter necklaces and rings didn't impress; they looked like something out of a Cracker Jack box. The necklace vendor said they were proud of the font they'd chosen. What?! They were simple block letters. As for the rings, David Venable should have been there; he would have had fun removing them as letters sold out.
