Designer's and Pricing.....How is price determined?

I am a die hard fan of JR's! I love all her jewelry! The only problem I ever had was with my JR black ceramic watch. Link in the band popped, I then returned it.

I purchased two of IM,Isaac Mizrahi ceramic watches instead, cuz of price! I am happy to say that the IM ceramic watches have been a favorite in my wardrobe. I own them in pink and black and they work and look great! J-158222 is $107.80 and is available now in nine color choices! Four which are new!

We know that JR's ceramic watches are nearly $300.00 and they are only available in black or white. They are beautiful, but why the mark up?

I realized after I made my purchase of Judith's silicone watch today, that I had seen silicone watches at a lower price rate. Isaac Mizrahi has silicone watches for $32.00 J-264900 available in orange, pink, blue, and purple. He also had turquoise, but that sold out.

Judith and Isaac are both designer's, why is there such a price difference? I will also add that I feel that the IM watch is a better quality ceramic watch than Ripka's. That is my personal opinion. That does not mean I will cancel my JR silicone watch order, but I will be checking this $100.00+ silicone watch out thoroughly!!

It also makes me wonder....Why didn't JR bring out these fun silicone colors earlier like IM did? He, Isaac seems to be always on trend!!

These are just my personal opinions and if I offend anyone I am sorry. I am not out to start a feud.{#emotions_dlg.wub}
