Christian James Change????????

I just saw a post on Facebook that was describing the new items being presented on October 18.  It described one as sterling, a gemstone and 14k gold.  Another item was described as being sterling and 14k gold clad.  I absolutely adore  watching Scott and loved his new desgins, but I sent back the item I ordered becasue the 18k clad as just too brassy for my taste.  I saw that complaint on other reviews of some items.  I am hoping the facebook post did not contain a misprint.  If Scott is now using 14k instead of 18k I will be all in!

Thanks for saying that.  While 18k jewelry is common in other parts of the world, I also think it looks cheap and brassy.

 

It's really not an issue for me because I'm pretty much a White Metal gal ..... sterling, white gold, stainless steel and platinum.  

 

(The pink undertones in my skin flatter the white metals that I actually prefer.  i just don't like yellow metals anymore).

Not a fan of the 18kt gold. To me it looks like a cheap imitation for 14kt.  The brassy look reminds me of a gum ball machine token.
