I have a few of her earlier QVC pieces as well as some from other places. I do not care for DMQ or clad so that really limits QVC's selection. Her pieces are heavy and I sometimes wonder how the Ripkanista's lift their arms. Wearing multiple pieces probably attributes to toned arms.

I do feel her prices are high. I do not care whose name is on the jewelry. Actually when it comes to silver, I preferred Suarti.(?)

Oh yeah. Does Suarti ever come on anymore? I don't dare watch the jewelry shows. No willpower. I have Suarti's auto delivery slides and they are absolutely gorgeous. Thick silver and not QVC'ified. I have a ring also that I think might have been a TSV. I also have her chains.

I don't even watch Ripka anymore but I do have that panther link cuff that I still adore and I also still have her controversial "crooked" heart cuff from the auto delivery. Still love that. I sold two of the other pieces from the auto delivery and stopped delivery on the 4th because it was too much like the panther link I already had.

PS: Deep, I sold mine at a local jewelry store. Do you have any that take pieces on consignment?

I once ordered one of her pieces, forget now what it was but I do remember when it came I was not the least bit impressed with the quality or price and never ordered again.

I don't watch anymore because I got tired of the fake diamonds with ridiculous pricing. I own her 14k gold pieces from her brick and mortar store. That jewelry is well made and has some intrinsic value. The stuff sold on QVC lately looks like mass produced bling and does not qualify as fine jewelry for me...
