Ditto!
There was one BB piece I was considering but it sold out before I made a decision. It wasn't the TSV, it was a charm.

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

I found Scott Kay's daughter to be sweet and rather overwhelmed by how many items sold out. I enjoyed the shows I watched and saw some really great jewelry. The silver was heavier, there were more natural stones and interesting designs, for the most part. I bought a JAI croc ring I've been wanting for a long time. Loved CP's double finger ring

Quite a bit of bland, quite a bit of pretty and, as usual, too much turquoise, overall, but a nice array, and yes, better than their usual Sunday program offerings.

I agree. Much better than the usual weekend fair of appliances and electronics.

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

While I agree that not all of it was great, I'd still rather have the option to enjoy looking at jewelry even if I'm not buying. I enjoy Hagit and CP a lot - even though I did think the strong emphasis on SB turquoise at the expense of much else in CP's offerings made it less appealing for me. I like Bixby's items but not the prices, except of course for the TSV which sold out immediately. Then again I didn't need another ring so that was fine.

I enjoyed the day - it wasn't computers, blenders or beds - works for me - even if I'm not buying.

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

I enjoyed the Super Bowl - very exciting, and I also enjoyed many of the vendors, especially Barbara Bixby, whose items are beautiful and expensive but so artistic. I was lucky to get the Flower Ring in Liolite for $99. That was the only thing I purchased. I hope it is as pretty as it looked on TV. I love Carolyn Pollack's jewelry, but many pieces I already have and others were very expensive and similar to mine. I have enough Sleeping Beauty. I do enjoy Judith Ripka, however, I have many of the pieces also and the ones that I was interested in were much too high or the reviews were not very good. I did appreciate that there were more easy pays and that the shipping was $3.00 on many items.

That she was. I remember how I felt when I lost my father and having to fill his shoes on TV just a few weeks later, I can't even. Very courageous young woman...

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

I thought designer day was a lot of fun. I watched off and on all day and ordered a couple of pieces.

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

I thought there were a lot of pretty pieces. I do get frustrated that many of Hagit's pieces never get shown. I think if I was coming from Israel, I would demand a bit more time. Maybe she is too agreeable with QVC programmers/management.

I think there was something for everyone in the programming though. Some designers do more ornate pieces (Bixby's are pretty but too ornate for me). I completely skipped over Ripka. I enjoyed Scott Kay, but it was too pricey. I loved JAI, but again, maybe they should have presented items other than crocs and elephants.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed the day.

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

I watched several of the shows and bought way more than I expected to. Lots of lovelies to choose from! Great shows! Wish I could have bought more! (And I wish they'd put Hagit Gorali on during better hours!)

Re: Designer Jewelry Gallery

The day was a pleasant reprieve from the usual week-end fare. I didn't do much buying; got on wait list for the TSV in rhodolite to got with a BB bracelet I already own. Forgot to tune in at midnight EST. I can't watch Ripka anymore with her pompous lady-of-the-manor demeanor, so I skipped her shows.
