OMG--$300+ for a sterling and CZ tennis bracelet. I am stunned at these prices.

I agree.

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

I put on QVC tonight while folding laundry. Judith was on with Antoinella, who I thought looked so pretty. I hadn't seen her shorter length hair, and I really liked it.

Judith was her usual droll self. I swear, she must have used the word "couture" 20 times in the course of the time it took me to fold our undies, towels and sheets!

Couture indeed!

I think you are just paying for the name but it isn't worth it anymore...the quality has gone down as much as the prices have gone up.....zero appeal for me now

Her stuff is overpriced and she is (oh I hate to say it because I don't like to mock vendors or hosts) but her personality is uppity. I like down to earth people.

Shorty, I totally agree. Your words said it better than mine.

She thinks she's a fancy shmancy lady, like we said in Brooklyn {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

In sharp contrast to Hagit Gorali, who is so humble and unpretentious.

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.


Mick! I have to stay away from that place! I used to get in so much "trouble" from participating on the jewlelry boards! However, I don't regret anything I have but just can't do it anymore. I might sneak a peek sometime to see you there. We used to have so much fun on jewelry board.

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

With all jewelry you are paying for the design mostly. (With a few exceptions rare diamonds etc.). But if you take a gold piece and sell it for the gold you don't get much.

All jewelry has a 90-95 percent markup. And here's another thing, sometimes fashion jewelry is just worth more than real jewelry depending on the designer etc. Jackie Kennedy and the Duchess of Windsor wore fashion jewelry by CHanel and KJL.

Personally I LOVE IT ALL!
