Very over-priced IMO. 

@Kachina624, I am glad you replied.  I know - you know - a great deal about jewelry, and I have been wondering what you think about her line.  I watched for a while, then switched channels.  I thank you for your comment, as I thought her offerings were a bit pricey.  What lines on other channels do you follow and think are a good value?  I like many different styles and value your opinion.  Thanks, Pam

@Annabellethecat66, I hear you!  Like you, I love jewelry and have quite a bit.  And I am 72 (but still a kid inside).  I have so many different styles, ranging from antique to southwestern and modern Israeli.  I have given a few choice pieces to my DD, but it's time to cull my collection.  I live a simple life, but I should make more of an effort to wear more every day.  Hey, I have a dentist appointment this afternoon.  What to wear?

Carol Brodie used to be a vendor on The Shopping Channel in Canada. The jewelry was overpriced and the reviews were not good.

 

Her obnoxious name dropping selling technique was also a turnoff.

I fell in love with the TS today. I bought it in the labordorite.

I don't watch, but I do prowl online offerings.  I agree with the posters here who stated that her jewelry is too expensive for what it is.  Some of her designs are appealing, but I don't buy plate or mystery metals.

@PamfromCT If I read in the news about a beautiful woman caused an accident because she was wearing magnificent jewelry and looked exquisite, I'll know it was Pam from Connecticut! Heart

I agree. I thought the TS was reasonably priced and certainly no more than other lines like Ripka, etc.

I don't mind paying for quality jewelry,but the quality is missing. I bought one ring back in the day, and return it faster than I received it. Pendants with break away chain, flimsy rings. Take a good look at the on line presentations.  Earlier on, she did handbags which in my opinion were 10 times better than her jewelry line.

Hi @Annabellethecat66, You are too kind.  Anything you would read about me would be "Old lady plows into huge snow bank, while adjusting earring in rear view mirror.  She's fine, but was much more concerned about any damage to her jewelry than anything else."  LOL

I only own 3 pieces of hers, and they are all nice quality.  Her prices are too high and I only buy her items on sale.
