https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327182#M71320 <P>Dallas-Dame - I more than agree w/ you! The price is insane. I looked at the 6 3/4" size in the ruby for $1909 because I take a small, &amp; saw that there were only 4 ruby stations for a total of 3.4 carats. That means each ruby is less than a carat. And the same bracelet in emerald is in stock for $1188 - no bargain either, but aren't emeralds more expensive than rubies??? To add insult to injury, the shipping is $19.47!!! An all-time high! Usually on these high ticket items, they offer free shipping. And the blue earrings (J337477) for $852+, which are all synthetic, are also outrageous. I don't get QVC's strategy here! But these prices certainly do make decision-making a lot easier!</P> Thu, 09 Oct 2014 12:57:38 GMT Glitter Puss 2014-10-09T12:57:38Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327171#M71318 <P>Although lovely, I'm not sure that I'll take the leap to add one to my collection. The prices are steep (I understand that the sapphires/rubies are precious) but I'm most attracted to (and own) the original all diamonique in silver and the newer version in yellow clad. Any opinions?</P> Wed, 08 Oct 2014 22:17:13 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327171#M71318 Dallas-Dame 2014-10-08T22:17:13Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327176#M71319 <P>Dallas-Dame, I noticed the new ice cube bracelets also. I will stick to the silver version I have. Though I might add the gold version at some future time. The others are too pricey right now for me. </P> <P>I can't wait till the shows this weekend &amp; hopefully chatting with all of you!</P> <P> </P> Thu, 09 Oct 2014 00:24:37 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327176#M71319 Pepper22 2014-10-09T00:24:37Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327182#M71320 <P>Dallas-Dame - I more than agree w/ you!

I noticed the pretty cord that hold the magnetic enhancer and that's about 130 which seems high but not insane, then noticed if I want a s<A href="http://www.qvc.com/Judith-Ripka-Sterling-Chain-Necklace-with-Magnetic-Clasp.product.J318092.html?sc=J318092-SRCH&amp;cm_sp=VIEWPOSITION-_-24-_-J318092&amp;catentryImage=http://images.qvc.com/is/image/j/92/j318092.001?$uslarge$" target="_blank">terling chain</A> to swap in, that runs almost 250.00.

I recognize I'd pay more for a similar David Yurman chain at Saks, but that's apples and oranges.</P> <P>I would never presume to tell someone how to spend their money and sometimes, you just gotta have it, but none of this adds up.

I noticed the gemstone ice cube bracelets and the prices too ! I have the emerald version and am not tempted by these. Suffice to say the price is a deterrent too. I liked the GG and pearl necklace so that will be all that I am getting this visit. Also noticed very few easy pays on the newer items. I would have thought there would be more of them with the holidays approaching and gift giving just round the corner. I like the skinny emerald cuff but no easy pay so not buying. Anything tempting you ? My twins send their love to you as always. I hope to chat with you and the others during some of the upcoming shows. Even if I am not buying, it's nice talking and catching up.

The GG and Pearl Necklace is exquisite. Enjoy that beauty to the fullest. Although many of the new pieces are lovely, nothing is really tempting me as yet. I really like the new ice cube with sapphires but don't plan to purchase given the pricepoint.</P> <P>I hope to join in a chat or two during Judith's visit. Sending loving wishes and gentle hugs to your twins.</P> <P> </P> Thu, 09 Oct 2014 19:36:22 GMT https://community.qvc.com/t5/Jewelry/Have-you-checked-out-the-new-ice-cube-bracelets-with-precious/m-p/1327217#M71327 Dallas-Dame 2014-10-09T19:36:22Z
