Best stainless steel jewelry I've Seen

Is on Hsn right now. The TS is awesome! Ordered that plus the round crystal ring. Have to go to sleep or I'll order everything, lol. Gorgeous!

BlingQueen,

I am watching it too. It looks pretty nice. I did read some reviews of other pieces and some of the comments were it looked "cheap." One said the magnetic clasp broke on another bracelet. I hope that was just a few pieces. No reviews on the TS as it's brand new.

If it's as nice as it looks, the $49.95 price for two pieces is quite good.

I guess we can try it and see. When she wore the real gold piece it looks just like the stainless steel one.

Good luck when you get it! Hopefully, it will be as nice in person as on the presentation.

I'm also hoping this line is good quality. Problems can come with any line of jewelry. Even Judith Ripka isn't immune from that. I just received a ring from Judith that has two stones missing. Go figure. Thank goodness for return policies. I can't wait to see these pieces in person.

You are so right. I had a Michael Dawkins piece that fell apart. That was quite disappointing.

Someone on the HSN board said the items were made in China and not from his family's shop in NYC. Unfortunately, most items are not made here in the US. Most are made in China.

I have noticed that QVC doesn't put the country of origin on some of their jewelry anymore.

I was thinking about ordering but was not sure what size to order, and I have a normal size wrist but was not sure if it runs small because of the thickness 81/2 sounds large

I haven't seen what you are talking about but I do have several pieces of their Stately Steel and I like all of mine. I have no problems with any of mine. I can't wear sterling silver so when I want white I go to stainless steel and have(so far anyway)always been happy with what I got there. It all depends on each piece as in any line, some are great while others may be cheap or thin etc but I have been lucky and like all of mine. I have a few pairs of earrings, a few bracelets and a couple rings in stainless steel although some are from Micheal Anthony there, HSN but also have a few from QVC(a set of 3 ankle bracelets from 2 or 3 years ago).

MLK123,

I have an average wrist too (normally wear a 7 - 7 1/4" bracelet) and will be ordering the 7 1/2. I don't like my bracelets to drape real low on my arm. Lynn, the host, was wearing an 8 1/2 and it looked okay on her, but draped below the wrist. I'm sure either size would work. I think if you want the clasp to stay upright better, perhaps a smaller size would work. I also wonder if it's heavy. If you put the necklace clasp on the side, I wonder if the weight will bring it back to the front? I don't think they ever mentioned the weight of the piece.

Is it just me? Why put crystals in jewelry, does everybody like bling in everything? I do not. I check on line@ HSN the Emma Skye jewelry is nice looking, but my turn off is all that crystals in most of their jewelry.

I have a necklace and bracelet set similar to this that Colleen Lopez sold as part of her My Favorite Things line. It's really nice. This new set is chunkier though. I like it but can't justify it again.

Bling, the video I watched this AM mentioned they used the 1980's mold from the 14K design the vendors father gave his mom from that era. It would be great if more manufactures started using stainless steel instead of brass producing designs that are too expensive to produce in gold or sterling today.

Very nice looking TS....very tempting!

Just looked at some earrings there (345-359). Click on the image and zoom in as far as you can on the inside of the earrings. Looks like rust to me (on both earrings). I decided not to order.

I also like HSN's Stately Steel - the stainless jewelry 'designers' on hsn come and go FAST. I have Jane Taylor Elements items, they were around for less than a year. Also the LusciousS stainless line, there are just a couple selections left of that line. So who knows how long Emma Skye will be around! The ts is a very nice looking set - definitely a bold statement look if that's your thing!! I like the look for a bracelet, not as much for a necklace though.

Yes, last night they showed the original design in gold. The reproduction looks great

I'd be tempted to order the TS if it were a big longer. Great price for 2 items, but it looks like it would be heavy and not sure I'd enjoy wearing it.

Hibi: the necklace and bracelet can be connected to make a longer necklace. I don't know about the weight though.

That's a major faux pas if it is rust.

I wasn't going to order the TS yesterday until I was watching HSN last night and a designer (not the one who designed the TS) said he thought that it would also look great as a belt if you connected the necklace and bracelet together.....and I thought that was a fabulous idea! So I got the set for that. Since the necklace is 19" and the longer bracelet is 8.5".....connected it would make it 27.5". Since I have a 25" waist, it will work perfect! I have a tiny wrist and if I had been buying it to wear as a bracelet, I would have ordered the small size, but ordered the 8.5 so I could wear the set as a belt. And if I don't like it as a belt, I'll just keep the set and give the bracelet to my daugher since she wears a longer size bracelet than I do.

Yes, I know, but it would be longer than I like to wear a necklace. I decided to pass. Hope everyone likes theirs. I was already concerned about the weight of just the necklace by itself...
