The Fire Light 14K diamond jewelry is soooooo.... overpriced QVC must be laughing all the way to the bank!

They won't put in writing if it's  G-H- or I colored , but the Rep Michelle says on air something is an H but not in writing . Other  companies with Lab grown will state a  specific color and have written info back the piece up . She also says  everything is GIA inspected if so how abt listing in writing  the color & if fully faceted ?

Other companies lab diamonds are not as expensive. The 14K hikes the price up but still ridiculous prices.

Too much inventory of this line of jewelry.  We already have diamonique and affinity diamonds.  OK to have lab grown but it just seems like too much in clear gems while colored gems take a back seat.  I would rather buy white sapphire over lab grown diamonds.

I think the prices of the Q's Fire Light lab diamonds is extremely high. I know there's a markup, but the prices are ridiculously high.

 Bought 1  ct  Peace  lab grown studs   set in 14K gold   when SHOPHQ  were having big sales before  going out of business . Peace  lab diamonds for the ones I bought had it in writing that they were G-H color and listed clarity & fully faceted. brilliant cut .  Each earring numbered and  a card that certified them came with my purchase. Country of origin USA.

 QVC does none of that  with their lab grown diamonds  except charge alot more $$$$

It tells me the diamonds are low grade if a retailer doesn't provide the 4 C's.

@zanimac     I agree.  Definitely overpriced.   Plus, I don't think I would ever purchase lab grown diamonds.

I just came home from taking gold jewelry to a national rareties buyer event.  They were interested in diamonds as well and she told me the lab diamonds have no value, only the gold setting is.   And the lab diamonds have brought  earth diamonds down in price.  That is probably because the lab outsells earth diamonds.  Anyway, I did ok on the gold  but it really is amazing the  difference between what you pay and what they pay.

If each piece of lab diamond jewelry came with a written certification then that will only drive up the cost. Instead they just provide a 'blanket' classification for batches of the pieces offered. Many people who buy lab diamonds aren't planning on resale where it would be beneficial to have a certification to make the sale. Many people buy lab diamonds as a personal purchase, not to resell it so who cares about certification as long as the diamond sparkles and looks good to the naked eye.
