I got something I usually dont' get

[ Edited ]

I never buy any gold plating over anything.  I just can't get myself to buy it.  Most of my silver is either rhodium plated (simply to starve of tarnishing for a while) or Ultrafine which stays white and has no plating.  Alll the gold I have is mostly 18K with a few 14K thrown in. But I saw this.  His name is David Manse.  I never heard  of him and never got any jewelry from him.  He made a heart out of silver, wilh a solid 18K band surrounding it. I had to get it.  I also like that it's 1" long.   So it can be seen easily.  With tax, etc it's a little over $100.00  i didn't see his show during the jewelry day show yesterday.  I hope his jewelry is good quality. This...

@songbird  His jewelry is nice at least with my experience. I have some of his pieces and really like them but it has been a few years or more.  I have some of his mother of pearl pieces and they still look brand new.  Enjoy your new purchase.

@songbird.  On something like a pendant or earrings which get little touching or rubbing, the gold plating should last a lifetime.  If you store silver properly, you never have to polish it.  An anti-tarnish box is the way to go.

Yeah...I know.  The fact it's a pendant is reassuring. I'll have to look in those kind of boxes.  Since most of my jewelry is gold, I never bothered to get ant-tarnish one..  Did QVC once sell them?

Hi! @songbird 🤗

Very pretty!! Amy Stran wears Robert Manse jewelry from time to time. She always raved about it


If you have any Jai jewelry it comes in anti tarnish pouches.


I’m not sure if Christian James pouches are though? I’ve never heard Scott mention it.

@songbird, that's beautiful. And it's a piece that will go with almost everything.

@songbird. No jewelry anti-tarnish boxes at QVC.  Colleen Lopez sells them on HSN and mine have been effective for years.  They usually sell out very fast.
