I hesitate to ask, but does anyone know if there will be
BBSD. After Creede silver I have my doubts. I look forward every year, but they have been messing with this in the past few years so just curious. A lot of you find out things so I am throwing it out there.

@brcala   I have my doubts too.  It seems if it isn't JAI, QVC just isn't interested.  I'll be so glad when this brand runs it course as I don't care for it at all.  There so much really pretty jewelry out there.

 

I think their extreme interest in JAI indicates the big profits they're making from this over-priced jewelry.

SO much Jai, SO tired of this line. It's all we see now, so sad too. Now he actually has his own show every day. QVC lands on something they think is great and they then run it into the ground as it's all we see. So tired. It's not at all cheap either!

You have described the Q's MO: Run it into the ground then move on to something else.

@brcala   Would you please refrain from these criptic initials such as "BBSD."  Some of us haven't a clue what you're talking about. But maybe that's what you want -- a cliquey in group who understand.

 

I taught writing for years to college students. Whenever there is an acronym that is not generally known, e.g., FBI, then the writer spells out the words followed by parentheses with the initials enclosed. The reference is clear and can be repeated using only initials, e.g. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Big Bonanza Silver Day, then in later iterations, BBSS, or Big Bonanza Silver Sale.

Sorry, I meant no disrespect. Guess I've been with the Q too long. I watch this every year and even used to take the day off work. Didn't think of those new to it.

I don't like it at all. It is masculine looking and all looks alike. I agree totally with you. Yes there is so much prettier silver out there.

I liked it fine until A. They raised the prices to the stratosphere and B. They  started combining all those design elements in one piece.  I still cherish my $79.00 bracelet.

I guess the great days of BBSS are gone for good. Too bad for those of us that look forward to some beautiful silver. Jewelry was the thing that made the Q so popular. The new people in charge are total idiots.
