With higher prices of course.  Basic stones, basic settings.  I won't use the word disappointed, but I'm hoping for something spectacular.

Spectacular costs to much.

29 years ago I bought tanzanite 'cause it was scarce. Still is.

Most of what I have seen today is something that I would have worn 20 yrs ago but not so much today.  Styles have changed (not that I follow every trend)  I feel like the whole "necklace, earrings and braclet set is very outdated.  As well as the clear gemstones, I have discovered that I now prefer the opaque stones

Just my opinion

@depglass  The trouble is, after you've collected jewelry for years, you have some nice pieces and much of what TV shopping sells are "beginner" pieces for people who have little.  That's when it's time to seek other sources for your jewelry.

Qvc has their "Vault Discoveries" for something more unique. Most of it is expensive and a lot of it, not all, is set in 14K gold.

It just all looks the same. At heart I guess I'm still a Silver Style girl spending a Sunday morning with Jill Bauer. Enjoyable.

That's a good word for it, "beginner pieces."  Yes, I have many sources for jewelry, other channels and local auctions.  But I always watch gem days, hoping for a wow piece or a great bargain.
