Most of his items remaining on HSN are on deep clearance prices now.

There are some nice deals. Love Michael's jewelry.

He seems like a really pleasant man and some of his designs are really nice but I do not like yellow metal in any way shape or form.

This current yellow gold trend can't be gone soon enough for me.

His jewelry is pretty. I just wish he offered a few more diminutive pieces.

@GenXmuse I find HSN uses "magic magnifying" cameras for their jewelry shows. I'm always shocked at how small they are when I receive them. Many go back because I like big.

Thanks! That is good to know. They look gigantic on the screen

@ShelbelleHe's still on ShopHQ too....though I don't know if they are having a big sale. Thanks for the heads up, but I have never ordered from HSN. I will go look though.

@gertrudecloset Michael just left HSN , which is the reason for the clearance sale, to return to ShopHQ where he'd been for years. The parted company a couple years ago but apparently decided to forgive and forget. Once all his merchandise is gone at HSN, he won't be back there.

@Mint2 What yellow metal? Very little solid 14K or 18K is on any shopping channel other then Gem shopping. Do you mean layering gold? I don't watch Michael or any gem shows other then Gem shopping.

Interesting.... but this morning, I watched Gem Shopping at least two trays of cut gems of earrings, rings, pendants, etc. all set in solid platinum for $1,800 average. All jewelry were precious gems one carat or more. Semiprecious that were bigger with diamond accents. Might be a signal that 14K & 18K will cost more again. All white metal platinum, no gold. With gram weights of 4-7 grams.

@songbird I believe Michael uses "goldtone" over sterling silver on his pieces or many of them anyway. I own several and I love them! His designs are beautiful and the prices on HSN now are very low as they try to clear his inventory. I bought myself two more items, a necklace and a bracelet with free shipping and on 3 flex pays. Promised myself not to buy after the New Year but here I go, LOL! Just couldn't pass up these prices!

i ordered a ring. we shall see. i liked a pair of earrings but they were post backs - my least favorite.

Sorry I should have specified his jewelry is mostly 2 toned with touches of gold colored something. The trend I speak of is gold colored buttons, purse hardware and some jewelry. I have been married 40 years and have maybe 3 pieces of gold jewelry that I loved but could not get in white gold or platinum.

Michael V always states that he uses palladium and 18kt gold plate. That's not the same as gold tone. Gold Tone, Gold Plating, Vermeill, Gold fill, all have their place in jewelry. Gold Tone is cheap for dollar store jewelry. Gold Plated over Silver is considered "demi-fine" jewelry I guess because two precious metals are involved. Vermeil is the best gold plated jewelry, then gold filled is good because it will never tarnish.

I am not fond of many of MV's designs but I love his stones.

I love MV even though his jewelry is hit or miss. I have been rarely purchasing but if I do I buy from his Canadian site. Just 2 days ago I received a magnificent pair of Namibian amethyst earrings.

I saw him on the tuscon show yesterday.

@SANNA I too have ordered from his own website in Canada. The selection and prices are good plus you can't beat his customer services. I bought an emerald ring and it's gorgeous.

I ordered a really pretty ruby ring at a really good price.

HSN had another clearance show of his yesterday afternoon.
