Ultrafine Silver

songbird — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 12:00:07 GMT

Nice seeing new Ultrafine. I got the high polish and diamond cut bead bracelet and the 18" big herringbone (20g) The new lighter herringbone is nice, but I wanted the heavy gram weight. I also got the 18" paper clip necklace;

Haven't worn a herringbone in a long time. Although I have an 18K one, I rarely wear it. That along with my omega sits in a box. I don't wear heavy gram weight 18K gold anymore. Not casually. Too expensive to lose or god forbid, stolen. But I'm going to wear the silver version.

Bought some UF a few years back. Did not care for it. Don't know why.

I love Ultrafine. I have never liked Sterling. One reason it resists tarnishing, is that it does not have a lot of copper. Pure silver does not tarnish in pure oxygen. But in Sterling, they put copper in it. It strengthens the silver. Copper triggers silver to react to sulphur in the air. Making it tarnish. 7.5% of Sterling slver is copper. Ultrafine is softer but not as malleable as Sterling. Gold and Platinum don't react to anything. Silver unfortunately does.

I wish they had more items in Ultrafine.

I made my first purchase with the line back in March. I ordered the multi-bangle charm bracelet, the signet bypass ring and the petite star hoop earrings. I love how the silver is so shiny!!

I had my eye on the polished and satin two row band ring. When it went on clearance I grabbed it. Was ordered on June 13 and it's FINALLY being delivered today. UGH - 17 days for delivery . . . so frustrating!

Per slow shipping. The Post Office shares some of the blame. We have only been getting mail 3 times a week now. That's how much it has slowed down. But yes, QVC is still a very slow shipper.

I really like Ultra-fine silver a lot. I bought a piece in March, and it looks lovely....shiny and bright.

I scanned the UF page looking for the magnetic paperclip bracelet they shipped in the wrong size on the last sale. If it was reordered it is slow getting here. If it was't, please reorder, almost all sizes and colors are gone. I did notice an abundance of earrings, very few necklaces and bracelets.

I just got mine. I didn't know about the paper clip version. And I checked. It is selling out again! Only small left.

I wear an ultra fine beaded neck chain nearly every day. With a silver cremation pendant containing my sons ashes. It has held up well, still sparkly after several years of wear. Seems very strong too

@songbird Your choices are lovely! I was also intrigued by the herringbone necklace. It looks like a nice weight. I hope you review them when you receive them!

They introduced these heavier herringbones back in March. The 18" one is 20g. They also included middle weight herringbones today (I think 12" to 15"g) But these are wider too. So I decided to get them. My only worry is that I hope they come in a big box. I have a huge 18K omega I keep in a big box, but I want to have room for this. Herringbones have to be layed flat.

I bought the herringbone and paperclip necklace too! I saw them both layered on the model and it looked beautiful. I'm also considering some byzantine pieces.

I just got an email saying my request for satin & polished bead bracelet (Ultrafine) will be delayed. Ugh! So far, no delays on my two other necklaces I requested.

@songbird QVC shipped it in 3 days, that's not too bad. The rest of the delay is on USPS.

We get emails from Informed Delivery every day. You should see the amount of mail that we're supposed to get but never do. Thankfully, it's mostly all junk mail. And from everything I've read, it's only going to get worse.

You got some beautiful pieces, @songbird!

All those new items and no new UltraFine Silver watches. It's been 4 years since the last new one!

I ordered a few items when they had the Ultrafine sale the other week. I ordered the paperclip bracelet in your picture and am eagerly waiting for it. I was on the fence about the herringbone necklace in your picture and ultimately didn't order it, but am now kicking myself! I did already receive another bracelet and a pair of hoop earrings that I love. The Ultrafine is bright and shiny and I just love it. Looks like we have the same taste in jewelry!
