@Shelbelle I've always thought his pieces were beautiful. He uses a lot of high quality, unique stones.

I have a boatload of his jewelry, mostly rings and bracelets plus a fully loaded charm bracelet. I rarely wear any of it, although I love it. People just don't seem to be wearing that kind of jewelry now. Most of my rings are quite large.

The workmanship and intricate detail in the settings are like wearable works of art. I also admire the fact that the stones are natural and not treated. Alas, I live a more casual lifestyle now that I am retired and already have a great deal of jewelry that goes unworn...good think I have 2 Granddaughters, lol.

Wow I have been wearing one of his rings this weekend. I love his rings. You do not have to baby them. The rings always looks nice and no tarnishing. His stones are always lovely. I have several pieces. I have been wearing a blue sapphire ring that when you turn the ring upside down he has designed the Eiffel tower along both sides of the shank of the ring. I also have a charm bracelet. You can't beat his beautiful and unique designs.

Is free shipping for the month of March. I did stop purchasing because their shipping cost was higher than most. I will have to check them out again. However it seems that they are always showing really expensive gold pieces. For those who still purchase gold Shophq seems to be the place to go. I have seen beautiful pieces.

For me MV pieces are hot or miss. While I like the offered stones, the settings could be so much better. When he does clusters, it is not set perfectly, sadly.

The return pilicy is pretty terrible, it is the highest return cost on his items.

I would rather have simple band even if the middle part is ornate.

The bigger the ring, the worst is the stone setting.

I had earrings shipped with mismatched backs, earrings was used. At least one of them. They did provide extra backs, only to find out they bend immediately after I try to put them on.

Again,he does have lovely stone, rubies, spinel, sapphires, but I wish crafstmanship could be better. With all the praise for quality, the amount of palladium silver mix he use, is not substantial. His ring bend easily.

They are promoting the free shipping as a permanent thing, not just for one month.

thanks @Shelbelle of course I didn't see this post until the weekend was over! Oh well, I don't need to buy any more jewelry anyway!

I have quite a few items from Michael V and enjoy them although like @Kachina624 I don't wear them as much as I used to. His rings are fabulous and I'll put one on to wear if I'm going to meet friends for lunch especially in warm weather when I don't have to wear gloves!

I had to look him up; no idea who "Michael V" was.

A few pieces on clearance on HSN. Too ornate for me though.

@alice87. I was really surprised to hear about quality issues with Michael's jewelry. I have a lot, probably 25 or so rings, and never had any such problems. What I received was always perfect.

It sounds like he has changed manufacturers. I'm glad I bought my stash earlier.

I don't care for the gold over. It looks fake to me. I agree with Kachina624, the quality of his settings has decreased. Plus the pave is very tiny.
