Thanks for the cleaning reminder!

I also hand clean glently at home.

 

However, whenever I'm near a great jewelry store, I go in.

As a courtesy, they always clean my diamonds, only ltakes moments, which I appreciate while browsing their store.

I have a pair of affinity earrings that are absolutely terrible for sparkle. I'm embarassed to wear them.  I also have a cross necklace that sparkles like crazy.  Go fignure.

I love diamonds but over time I've gotten picky which means I've had to save up for awhile before I could buy a diamond piece.

I believe it! If we aren't ever told the grade, color ect, they must not be good. Pamela McCoy always talks about the diamonds she uses and I have a few of hers, beautiful. Lately I've been into Levian, pricey but just outstanding quality. Sorry you're so disappointed... I would have been too.

There is a reason Q doesn't post the clarity, cut, color of diamonds. Without knowing these, I won't buy them.

QVC doesn't claim their stones are top quality. IIRC they are mid-range in color, but farther down in the clairity grades. I'm able to see a poor quality diamond on TV. Have no idea about the cut since QVC never provides GIA information on their diamonds.

 

Even a big box jeweler should be able to provide higher quality diamonds for the discriminating buyer at a better price than QVC.  Plus, the QVC designers usually include very small stones and thin settings. No longer in solid 14K, but sterling clad with 14K which ultimately wears off. Buyer Beware!


@BirkiLady 

Well, this ring is in solid 14K, not clad. And that's about the only good thing I can say about it!


I bet you could get more than what you paid because it is solid gold.  You should see just how much you can get.  Please let us knowSmiley Happy
