I picked up the goldtone.

It's a shame they are just clip; but wasn't J270391 just available as pierced? So I guess its the clip earring lover's turn now.

Darn, I hate that these only come in clip! Guess this is a pass for me. I don't like the way the hoop looks from the side, with the clip thing the way it is....I think that looks strange and not attractive at all. Very disappointing, these are not in pierced.

Because of the size of this earring, maybe Louis decided most would opt for the clip-on option to lighten the load, so to speak. I think they (TPTB) do not like to have idle inventory.

I wonder if they are really heavy? If they are, maybe even the ladies that love clips, won't be happy with them.

Weighty earrings are not for me, even if they are clip. Too bad, I love a good chubby hoop. I will wait on reviews to see what ladies say about these, maybe if they sell well and everyone loves them, he will bring them back in pierced!

I agree Goldie. I think an earring of this size would not work in a pierced style. As for inventory, well, no retailer wants idle stock. Considering that this is an online only jewelry line (which it should not be, BTW!), the current inventory is rather extensive despite some sellouts.

As you pointed out, Debbie, there is a lot of jewelry stock weighing down the shelves. Some items take off like wildfire and leave us frustrated when we miss out, but others seem to languish. I'm sure QVC management would like for all of it to go -- and quickly. There is a gamble for each new piece. No one really knows which one will take off (except maybe that darn fish; bet they knew that would be a hit).

Goldie, what I do not understand is why not put more of the items on sale. I think a jewelry show would do wonders to help move some stale inventory but QVC seems resistant for some reason. There are items have been around for a couple of years now. Is it not time to clear them out??

Several of the pieces in inventory are reorders and thank goodness the buyer has enough good sense to bring some items back. However, I think everyone who wanted them got them! I believe I got the simulated gemstone necklace and the colorful station necklace on reorder. They are so beautiful doubled and worn together and get a lot of wear because they are so versatile. You are right -- it is indeed a gamble. I do not understand the fishy but know many ladies will be glad to have that one back too!

I LOOOOVE a good sale, and I don't know why they don't give us a break on some items while they, at the same time, clear out inventory. A show! A sale! That's the perfect plan.
