Re: California Gold Rush ...

I am impressed with todays show, prices are not as good as years ago, but much better than some of their gold shows. I am looking for the perfect bracelet, have a few numbers but haven't decided yet, it's still early. I love Antonellas new hair cut. She looks great.

The gram weights are laughable... Antonella oohing and ahhing over 5 grams of gold.... calling a bracelet beefy.......PLEASE!

Re: California Gold Rush ...

I think the show is definitely a hit - I own a rolo necklace and bracelet from years ago and I just weighed it and the gram weight is definitely in the ballpark of today's show - no complaints from me - best show I've seen in ages --

Oh and whatever Antonella did to her hair - she looks fabulous today - what an improvement!!

As the OP said - you are never going to please everyone-

My husband came home from work early. I told him, "Wow, look at Today's Special Value". He said, "Order one." I did! No argument from this quarter!

The price for something that was solid gold would be prohibitive.

I agree. However, cost doesn't have to equal quality. It can be a lighter weight piece but still be high quality.

However, Q seems to cater to the cheap, flimsy 1-2-3 gram pieces or the 20 gram pieces. I'd like to see them carry more in between...but it has to be quality.

The TSV links aren't even soldered shut. Look closely and you'll see. That takes a lot away from quality.

Tique, one ring has silicone and one ring has resin. I think you should keep looking.

It just made me think I should get out some of my old gold bracelets (most from ShopNBC) in the 80's when gold was 14.00 a gram! I have some beauties that I haven't worn in years! Antonella looks great!

Ennui thanks for the reply. I will take your suggestion and go look thru my jewelry boxes.

Me too! That is when I bought all my pieces from The Value Vision ( now ShopHQ). beautiful pieces! One of a kind pieces. It is an embarrassment to see what the Q is selling today.... And people think it is a good deal.

So, you're both pining for jewelry you don't even wear? {#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}
