Did anyone watch this show yesterday and what did you think? The prices were better than when the line was Judith Ripka, but not sure the designs were as tempting.

I just saw this listing on the "recently aired". Is this a Ripka line designed by her or her staff? The items were okay and the pricing certainly easier than her other line. Is there not a JR line on QVC any longer?

I didn't watch the show but I just looked online and there are 11 pages of this jewelry. Is this a new version of Judith Ripka?  There are some beautiful pieces but a little fancy for my taste. 

I bought a JAI necklace last summer on a jewelry day sale. Have never worn it. So I am trying not to impulse buy jewelry just because I think it is pretty. But I have a couple of silver bangles in mind that I might buy but they are not from this line.

I liked what I saw...in some ways, it reminded me of her earliest work...minus the diamonique and finer berge estate-type details. I'm going to try a few pieces.

I have collected her work, and like any line, it shows an evolution.

I didn't see the show but just checked online.  Only the televised pieces show them on a live model.  I'm in the market for a status link ring but this one looks as big as a barn.  On a person it might not look so big.  Frankly I guess I just want plain single color metal with no stones.

I betcha the quality has gone downhill. All the silver jewelry I've gotten from QVC recently has felt like tin. I've quit buying.  Silver is not so precious they need to be so stingy.

Depending on what you want, if you love handmade like I do, Jason Janow Metalsmith (Chairperson of the Southern Highland Guild Jewelry Committee) has some beautiful, unique items.  Of course a business FB is open to everyone.  He's a great guy! 

He made my DILove's Christmas pendant!  Whis was a gold branch pendant with a diamond.

@ECBG    Factory-made jewelry holds no appeal for me.  I much prefer something unique and handmade by a silversmith.
