Jill's Right Hand Middle Finger ring?...

amyb — Thu, 02 Oct 2014 19:06:28 GMT

There were two older posts (2010) on this, where comments were closed and no one ever answered...and I'm not even sure if they were talking about the same ring back then, though it sounded the same. Does anyone know what that right hand, wide band ring Jill occasionally wears on her middle finger, like when she wears her gun metal watch? The ring looks black or dark green with gunmetal, or green stones?? It looks cool and I've wondered about it for a while. I doubt it's a Q ring, but was curious if anyone knew what it was. Jill wears some interesting things of her own.

I don't know the ring, but why don't you try asking her on her Facebook page? She may answer.

Tks Gypsy, I guess I could, as I know some people do asks hosts these things on their FB or blogs. I've never noticed the hosts answer questions on FB unless it's about product they are selling during a Q show. I think the hosts' FB is really just used as a marketing and sales tool. Anyhow, was just curious about the ring and thought maybe others had noticed it too, (she's worn it for a while off and on), and might have posted about it.

If it's the ring I think you are talking about, it's David Yurman. She bought it for herself for an anniversary gift for working at QVC.

It's the David Yurman Albion ring and the stone is called black orchid.

LOVE David Yurman wears. Wish I could afford any of his pieces.

I have the Albion ring--in blue topaz and one in amethyst. I have had them for a very long time and I can tell you they were a lot more affordable "back when!" I have several pieces of his I've gotten for gifts over the years and if you look at cost per wear, they are the most affordable pieces I own. I cannot believe how well they have stood up over the years to every-day wear--especially the old cable bracelet!

I want to add that several people have asked her about this on FB over time so this answer came directly from her, I didn't make it up. LOL

If that's not the ring you are talking about, I can't help you.

I remember when DY came out with the black orchid doublet (lavender amethyst backed with hematine) it was all the rage back then.

One thing about DY--you never know how much a piece will cost. Some things I think are REALLY expensive turn out to be not as expensive as something else. I pick them up and look at the tag or ask ""how much"" right away. Gold and diamonds are always really expensive. I KNOW that though! LOL!!

How disappointing! You DIDN'T make it up?

I looked up the DY Albion ring...no not that. It looks almost like a domed cigar band shape, she always wears it on her right hand, middle finger...and it's dark color...like gun metal with green tint and some kind of crystal-like stones. Still don't know. It's just interesting looking and I was curious.

Well she can't wear it all the time because she wears the DY ring a lot on the middle finger of her right hand. LOL

The DY Albion does have diamonds around it and it comes in several different gemstone sizes. 11mm, 14mm, 17mm. She just had it on Friday night when she hosted the gift show and FNB.

This is from Jill's FB page. Someone asked about her right hand ring but this person thought the stone looked blue and that it might be Judith Ripka. Here is Jill's response.

Jill Bauer QVCHi Amanda...the ring you are asing about is by David Yurman. It is a doublet with hematite with amethyst over it..he calls is black orchid. I bought this for myself to celebrate 20 years of working at QVC.

I honestly have never seen Jill wear any other ring on her right hand besides this Yurman, a citrine set in yellow gold or those 3 yellow gold and diamond stack rings.

So she bought herself a non-QVC ring to celebrate her QVC anniversary... Speaks volumes...

I'm not much of a Yurman fan, but no closer than I've been able to see it, I do like the look of that ring.

Talk about speaking volumes, tell me if this makes any sense to you.

I absolutely love all those white trees QVC has decorated with. They had a few of them around the sets last year but this year, they are everywhere. I've been trying to find more information out about them.

Today, I went to he Q's FB page to see if anyone inquired about them and sure enough, I found an inquiry and someone from Q responded that they are "props" and not available on QVC.

Huh? QVC sells Christmas trees but they use trees from somewhere else to decorate the sets. Color me confused.

Now you know that truly takes the cake... The only justification I can imagine is that they aren't trees at all but just look like it no closer than we can see them, and can be moved around easily without destroying the 'look'. Still, all the beautifully decorated trees they feature on some of the decorating shows and they choose to use prop trees that they don't even sell... Talk about smoke and mirrors...

My husband gave me this ring one Christmas. My stone is black.

I have seen her wearing this dark metal ring you describe. I believe it is from Dweck diamonds- which is sold on QVC. I checked the current inventory and it does not look like that exact one is in stock but you get the idea. Check it out and see. Hope that helps.

Pretty ring. Love it in Prasiolite but it shows better with a darker stone.
