On Evine, or on Evine and all its previous incarnations?

The last couple of pieces I've gotten from Chuckie have been such poor quality that I won't be purchasing more. It's okay because I have absolutely no need for more jewelry.

I ordered the TTV in the mystic topaz. It'll match the TTV NYC II mystic topaz ring that I got last month.

I also ordered two of the chevron rings - one in white topaz and one in black spinel. I think they'll make cute pinky rings (plus they had free shipping).

And lastly (for this visit at least), I ordered the Wolf custom cube for earrings. I was hoping we'd luck out and the cube would be offered as a bonus with the TTV (like Chuck did with the ring cube for his NYC II anniversary last month).

I liked the idea of mixing and matching the TTV's, so I was tempted to get the amethyst too, because it would look good with the mystic topaz. But, I wanted to chevron rings and earring cube, so that placed me at my self-imposed limit for this visit.

If anyone buys anything during this visit, enjoy your purchase(s)!

I brought the citrine and the garnet ttv to wear with my Kelli Anne posts years ago; looks like a cute idea so that I don't always have to wear my hair up to see the post earrings. I also picked up the citrine double row bracelet.

I got that amazing huge black spinel/pink tourmaline ring--can't wait to see it in person. In general, I've had very good luck with Chuck's pieces. YEARS ago, he had a show called "Platinum Players" and I got a Clearance platinum/18K/diamond ring for $900-ish. It's a big, heavy ring, and I wear it every day as my wedding band. When I showed it to my jeweler and told him what I paid, he about fainted--he said I got the deal of the century. In fact, I loved it so much that I had my jeweler make a matching platinum/high-end CZ 4ct Asscher engagement ring to wear with it--the whole set is a hand-grabber, and NO ONE thinks it's not a diamond--I think because of the setting!

I am looking at the multi topaz "Kellie Anne" ring. It looks very pretty and substantial I have a blue sapphire ring with white topaz that is a really nice ring. I have a blue diamond ring with the basket weave design that is a pave setting that is very nice and I purchased his last special with the ring box (the ring box i really love and will be purchasing another one).

thanks for the heads up on Chuck's shows. They are fun to watch even if I am not buying. I will pass on this since I have some other things that need my attention & funds for the next couple of months. Ah to win the lottery!

The Wolf Caroline Jewelry Armoire is quite a stunning piece! It would work very well in our master bedroom but the $2k price is a bit staggering!

I love watching Chuck but his jewelry has gone so far downhill that it's ridiculous. The quality and "gems" are questionable in most cases. I'm tired of coated topaz and junk gems. He has access to so many real gems and I don't understand why he wouldn't do more with them....and he gets a great price with his buying ability. Many real gems cost less than the faux gems he sells. It's really sad as he used to offer great quality items.

What faux gems? Topaz is a gem, quartz is a gem. Less expensive, yes. I do not buy Kellie Anne anything because I don't care for dyed quartz, but coated or dyed, it is a gem. Let's not slander the guy, OK? I got his checkerboard cut rhodolite garnet zig zag ring the last time, and I love it. Only 50 some dollars at featured price and I have nothing like it in my 150 plus rings.

They're not "faux" like JR's CZs. However, I remember a gold ring with a topaz dyed to look like a watermelon tourmaline. I remember dyed quartz looking like iolite. It's very expensive putting kids through college. I am sure he's raking it in before turning everything over to the kids and retiring. (not an uncommon thing.)

And I happen to like Chuck I like to watch him Have pieces of his from years ago and yes, they were better quality. The last couple of items I ordred from his lines I had to return, because I didn't feel the price matched the quality.

I love to watch Chuck and find him very entertaining. I have a few 14K pieces that are really nice, but most of the other pieces not in gold didn't impress me as far as quality. I also don't like a "China" stamp on my jewelry (non-gold). Unfortunately, I think his son Blake is following in his father's footsteps and I don't expect quality in that line either and find it pricey for what it is..
