Anyone here? TSV opinions?

What do you think of the TSV? What is wrong with the initials? Why do they

look so scratched? I don't understand why they can't see that in their monitors?

Maybe the face of the initial has one of those little plastic protectors on it like

they put on watch faces to keep them safe? Wish they would

clarify that they are nice and shiny and not scratched.

Bracelet is lovely but I feel as if the initial doesn't have enough zing. It just isn't standing out enough for me. I do believe the plastic covering is on the initials and I agree with you, it should be addressed and/or taken off. Hopefully later in the day it will.

Not a Ripka fan, but your post made me curious enough to look. You're right in that they look scratched on the display board. But the ones on the stand & the ones Rick handled look nice & shiny.

Initial carvings seem way off-unattractive. They almost look as if someone gave me the engraving tools and told me to do my best. I also noticed the scratching on the one Susanne is wearing. Will not purchase this one. The chain does look pretty.

I never like the J's that they use on engraved jewelry. So I never buy. I would encourage others to buy if you like the initials that they have used for your names. Looks like a high quality bracelet if you are happy with the way they have scripted your initial. Enjoy!

I noticed the scratches, if that's what they are, also. I figured it was because the silver was so smooth and shiny. I don't think the charm goes well with the bracelet. It looks as if you took a charm from a different jewelry line and added to to JR's bracelet.

I do like the chain but I have to agree a lot of the initials that are more narrow

look sort of lost on the heart. Some of the wider initials fill it out more. I think

I would've preferred the heart to be a little more puffed, rather than flat - just

looks a little skimpy to me. Enjoy those who go ahead and purchase.

Got the last TSV JR bracelet. Don't need another bracelet.

The placing of the initial on the charm looks odd to me.

The bracelet part looks nice. The initial part does not look like Ripka. I own her initial enhancer and it is classy and substantive. They should have used a version of that for the TSV.

On another front - why another bracelet. It looks so much like the last TSV. I own several Ripka bracelets that are better than both of the TSV's.

I agree it is overpriced and the intials all looked scratched when they were presenting them at midnight.

Greetings ladies, Judith is emitting the highest energy of light and love this day. Ok, everyday. The TSV is beautiful. What drew me in is the black spinel ring with the multi cab gems. ODL, awesome. I think the system is down and I cannot make a new topic...if possible it would be titled Judith Ripka: Jewelry Sifu. Her work is inspired, has brought so many of us together and bridges design, spirit, heart, soul and most of all lifts so many of us each day we wear it, look at it or simply enjoy its elements. Thank you Judith. Thank TPTB for her work that has gathered us together here. If you have read this far, truly hope you get the meaning simply as I have written it, das.

I love the substantial look of the TSV bracelet. It reminds me of the country-link bracelet from years back, that I could not wear because it was too large. She didn't offer it in a small size back then. I wear a rolo almost everyday mixed with other JR bracelets. I have the byzantine with heart charm and the other verona rolo with the pave charm.Yeah I know, I don't need another one, but got it anyway with the letter G. Love to all.

I wish the charm came off as I like the bracelet itself. I know me, and the charm will get sctratched with wear.

I agree! I too was drawn in today by many pieces, but ended up getting the spinel and multi cab wrap ring, so interesting and beautiful.

Just wanted to let everyone know when they had the Live Q & A session online

before I asked if the charm had a little plastic protective cover on it and yes it

does, so maybe that is why it wasn't looking so shiny and looked more scratched.

That original set of AD bracelets was fantastic!
