Scott Kay Reviews

Sakuya — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 07:47:55 GMT

I received J320789 today. A ring. It wasn't even on easy pay but It caught my eye when I saw it on-air so I ordered it. I ordered my regular size not knowing how the sizing runs for this line since it is new to Q. Also that it was a concave ring. Well, it fits beautifully and I am very happy I ordered it. The black detail surrounding the cross is very striking in person. The ring has a very nice weight to it and is so extremely comfortable on the finger. No worries about it being concave. It has a low profile and is a great go-to ring or for running around on the weekend. It would look great on a middle or pointer finger as well. Really, really pleased with this ring. I have a few other items coming as well and I am happy I decided to order so many pieces during the debut. Please share your reviews here as well for the new Scott Kay line on Q.

Sorry, mine is not an official review of a jewelry item - but rather my initial impression of the jewelry. I thought it was Very Very nice. It is just too high priced for me to justify a purchase. I loved the design elements and think they are very unique and quite refreshing to see their items on the Q. I would enjoy watching more shows of their jewelry!!

I received the leather cross bracelet last night. I love it. It looked bigger on TV, but I actually like that it's not as big. The cross is not so big that it screams. Its not easy to get on but I can manage, just takes some skill. I have a 6.5" wrist, got the 7 1/4 and it fits a tad loose, but any tighter and it would be difficult to fasten. It seems weighted well, as it is not flipping around on my wrist. I'm not a big DMQ fan, but the stones are small enough to add sparkle and be believable a the same time. I also ordered the cross ring which should be arriving today.

So far, I've been wearing this bracelet around the house with a Michael Dawkins crystal quartz granulated ring..they look nice together. I plan to layer the bracelet with a Michael Dawkins bracelet.

I thought the prices of this line were pretty good.

So far I have received 2 pieces.

I ordered bracelet J320614 (sorry, don't know how to make it a link). Wow, what a surprise. Very substantial and well made. Heavy in a good way, not flimsy or cheap. Love the clasp. I know it will be a piece I wear often. After I first ordered it, I thought about canceling it, wasn't sure about spending that much on a sterling silver bracelet. But I'm glad I didn't cancel it. The quality and the design make it worth the price, imo.

Also received the 36" necklace, J320768. At first I was unsure because the links looked so much smaller than the bracelet which I opened first. But I put it on and was pleasantly surprised. The bolo links are obvious and make it different than a plain link necklace. I like the length - can wear it long or doubled. Another winner.

I can't wait to receive my OTO bracelet, J320773, and hopefully necklace J321045 I have waitlisted. While I don't need much more jewelry, I'm kind of simple with my accessories, I do see myself getting more of his pieces in the future. They are well made, modern, not too trendy. Quality pieces that I see myself wearing for awhile.

I received the bangle (without the diamonique) and it's well made but either the sizing is off or I was given a smaller size...it wouldn't go past my fingers and over my hand, and I have no problem with other Q bangles of the same size.

Still, it's well made and very solid for a little bangle...I'll be back to purchase more from this line in the future.

I received the same ring as the OP (and I have it on as I write this). What a WOW!!!!! It is beautifully crafted with lots of intricate detail. It's beautiful inside and out!!!! And you can even clearly read the name "Scott Kay" on the underside. I was a tad leery of ordering it initially because it was concave, but that's a total non-issue now that I see it in person. I believe it was a OTO when I got it. Sadly, much of his line is a bit too expensive for me. But I'm so glad I got this ring!!!! His daughter was a delight to watch, despite the sadness she must be feeling.

Not really my taste in jewelry, this Q line seems to be a cross of gothic and bali styles. The pieces look weighty, and certainly a fair price for the designer. I'd love to see some in real life pictures.

I think it's fantastic that Q brings us these wonderful designers.

I ordered 5 skinny slip-on bangles (J321064) and I am very happy with them! They are true beauty. Solid and hefty!

I like that bangle a lot. The reviews say it runs big. Did you find that to be true? My wrist measures 5 1/2", and I have trouble buying bangles because they slip off my hands. I like that QVC has small, medium and large. One review said her small bangle measured 8". I wonder if they sent her the wrong size, or if that's just the way they are running.

Hello fluffy-2

So happy to see your review and that you are pleased with the quality.

I ordered one. I plan to layer it with John Hardy and Carolyn Pollack bangles I have.

(If I ever receive it.)

My orders have been stuck in the Q's partner shipping facility in Secaucus New Jersey for several days now. I'm getting a little frustrated.

NickNack, my wrist is 5 3/4 and Small bangles fit me just fine. No problem at all.

fluffy-2, thanks. They must have sent the person that said the small bangle was 8" the wrong size. I really like this and will have to think about ordering it. I don't know why I can't type outside this box, but it won't let me.

After receiving the cross leather bracelet, which I love- I received the ring. It was a beauty right out of the box. For me, though, I thought it might be "too much". Then..I wore it for a few days, and knew there was no way I could send it back. It's so beautiful and such a beautiful reminder of my "faith" whenever I look down at it. Nice weight, well made and very comfortable. Looks good on either middle finger, where I wear all my rings. I got at the OTO price, so also a good deal!

I have received a couple more of my wait list items. The 36" necklace j320768 that matches the bracelet j320773. I posted a lengthy review on the bracelet in its own thread. Love it. The necklace is just the bracelet but longer. Not as big of a wow in the necklace but that could be because it is as expected. Nice weight as well. I also got the bangle. My first reaction was how small it was. I was expecting it to be bigger and thicker. It has a nice weight considering the size. I would like to get 2 more of the same bangle. I haven't seen the bangle in daylight. It was late when I got home and it didn't seem as bright and shiny as the bracelet mentioned above. It seemed it had some oxidation which I wasn't expecting. I haven't polished it yet. I do like it, though. Thin but not delicate. It will be a great stacking bangle. I am waiting on one more wait list item. Hopefully it will be fulfilled.

I was on waitlist for the bolo bracelet J320773 and necklace J320767. I was surprised when I they arrived. At first I wasn't sure about them because they were slightly narrower than I expected, but when I tried them on, I loved them. Slight oxidation, updated modern design that hearkens back to a prior time, nice weight, they had a great presence without being too much, and they looked great on. Once I tried these on, my first thought was "no way are these going back". I was so excited! But after I had them on for a little while, I realized the logo had my ex's initials. I just could not look down on my wrist and be reminded of him every time I saw the bracelet on me. Unfortunately, I had to send them back. This is the most unusual reason I've ever had for returning something, but I just couldn't keep the pieces. I figured I probably made someone else happy who was on waitlist for these items. For those who have any of the Scott Kay pieces, congrats. They are beautiful.

eta: These pieces did not have diamonique, which I appreciated. But I was surprised that some pieces in this line use it. I know that one of his biggest supporters on this forum objects vociferously to other designers using diamonique. It doesn't make me think any less of his designs, but I wonder if it's affected others' perceptions about the line.

I am not a fan of DMQ either. I don't own any. I did , however, get the cross ring and bracelet as I already mentioned. I don't mind the DMQ on them b/c it is a low carat weight and could look real. I guess my biggest reason for not owning any dmq is that I don't want some big fake stone. For me, the Scott Kay items I received are more about the beautiful silver work and the dmq is really secondary.
