Re: Judith Ripka items pretty but...$$$

Boy, they are really trying very hard to sell her jewelry today.......

I don't wear sterling silver anything.

Only reason I have it on now is because of the next show......not the JR show.....sorry.

The TSV looks like a Claire's Boutique item.

I didn't like it either!

All fake...just $200 for one day only...get it while it's hot!

This watch reminds me of the knock offs you used to be able to buy on Canal Street.

And if it follows true to so much of their other TSV pricing, tomorrow it will go all the way up to $210!!!!

Re: Judith Ripka items pretty but...$$$

I don't like costume jewelry anyway, so none of it appeals to me, but it's almost shocking the prices they get for this stuff. That's the thing - they DO get it, so I guess they'll keep selling this over-priced stuff as long as there are enough customers buying it.

You could purchase really great GOLD pieces for what they get for this stuff. That's what is mind-blowing to me. But I saw this back when I used to sell a lot of fine jewelry on ebay. It got to the point that a lot of people would pay more for costume than they'd pay for fine, gold jewelry. That's why I stopped selling mine.

Oh my, think they just gave her another hour. Thought Carol H. was supposed to start now.

I own a number of the Epiphany Diamonique pieces and really like them a lot.....why would I even consider paying a fortune for her diamonique pieces...... I like what I have and wear it a lot.......

To me it all looks the same anymore. I bought a bit of Bixby stuff early on but her prices are beyond ridiculous at this point and a little too artsy-fartsy for me.

Oh, Bixby pieces are really out of sight I have a few things, crosses and some pendants and earrings. You could almost buy something from their "real" line

Re: Judith Ripka items pretty but...$$$

I am a big JR fan and have a ton of her stuff. I am not buying this visit as 1. Nothing suits my taste, and 2. Out of my price range. I do have a blast on the JR forum and there are a lot of neat ladies there.

Back in the day her pieces were beautiful and now it's Diamonique overkill. Not my taste.
