Interchangeable and Magnetic Jewelry - Not a Fan

Ugh, I was looking forward to CP's TSV but it is two of my worse choices in jewelry--magnetic and interchangble. I never trust the strength of the magnet with my carelessness and interchangeable always looks like a piece of jewelry that is compromised in quality. How about one solid bracelet that won't fall out, or get pried out or get changed out. If I want a different look, I'll reach for another bracelet.

Am I alone in this feeling or is there a sisterhood of anti-magnetic, anti-interchangeable jewelry? All comments welcome.

Magnets

Fashion jewelry = yes.

Fine jewelry = no.

I like the idea but don't want to spend $260 for a cuff & 3 inserts. And could that turquoise piece be any smaller? I actually laughed when I saw it!

Carolyn is a genius with that design. I own the very casual leather necklace with multiple magnetic inserts. They have been my go-to for a year. I also own the corresponding bracelet. This cuff however goes far beyond that. Gorgeous design, 38 grams of silver!!!, and those beautiful inserts- fabulous. Btw- the magnets are very strong. I garden with my bracelets and absolutely have no fear that I will ever lose it! Best of all is that you can change the look in seconds. WOW!!

I thought the same thing...the stone is too small. And CP had the gall to describe it as a big stone. It always astounds me how QVC hosts and guests are so adept at diverting your attention from the obvious. If the item is too expensive, the item is described as "priced right". If the item is too garish, loud or just plain awful, it is described as "fun".

Hilarious.

I totally agree with you! I don't trust any kind of magnetic jewelry and interchangeable jewelry always looks cheap. Expensive jewelry is not made interchangeable and not with magnets!

I am glad you've had success with your magnets. That's great. I just imagine myself at work, reaching out to flush and the center falling out and into the toilet. Yikes.

I am more drawn to the the Naja bracelet on the leather band....I think it's unique.

Agree, Now, I think THAT necklace is truly priced right at $189. Too much necklace for my rounder face though, but beautiful.
