You've got a point.  But seriously other that the Bella, it's pretty clunky.  It might have been better in the past.  I don't know only because I ignored the network until recently when I tried some pieces.  I only kept one.  A dancing Bella that really danced (a ring) The rest of the stuff, I returned and no longer even look at it anymore.  I especially hated the flimsy gold and necklaces that were so tiny, it was hard to clasp.  The only good thing they do, is cover the silver with plating most of the time.

Some of the Bella Luce pieces are nice, but a lot of it is just huge and chunky. It it looks unbelievable, then it reeks fake.

Just this afternoon they had a Bella in morganite and one in tanzanite, both were gorgeous, for a very low cost.

I disagree with all of them being junk.  In the past year, I've ordered quite a bit, some Bella but the believable kind and they are very nice.

I've also ordered a few Southwest pieces, most of which are very nice and some pieces made in India which are very unique.

I purchased some beautiful Black spinel pieces set in sterling with rhodium plating from them.  Pendant to match a ring, another ring with white zircon accents, two bracelets and some black spinel hoop earrings.  This was when I first discovered Black spinel about 4-5 years ago.

I love my pieces.  I think that network might be good for silver and some semi precious gems.  I would consider buying any precious or exotic gems from them.

I happened to watch a sale show with Misty last nite, a total train wreck.  No order to the presentation whatsoever.  The only item I was interested in never got shown.  They had some 3K gold, whatever for I can't imagine, it was plated with somethng else.  She never mentioned it.

I was going to start a thread about this channel but then saw yours. I have made several purchases and have only kept one. I'm not impressed with the quality. Bought a bunch of earrings for Christmas gifts for our girlfriend exchange. The gemstones looked saturated on tv but I should have known better. I certainly would not give them as presents. They're practically clear😮  Live and learn, I guess!

It's something that clutters up your jewelry box.  You won't wear it or forget about it.  Just boring silver covered up with gold.  Any solid gold is 10K.  Gem stones are mostly semi-precious and Tazanite.  The government of Tanzania has flooded the market with them. It seems like everyday they have Tanzanite set in silver.I mostly return anything I buy.  Will never buy from them again.

Tanzanite can only be found in Tanzania, Africa.  It certainly was not the government who flooded the world with Tanzanite.  

There are different grades of Tanzanite.  It was first introduced to the world by Tiffany.  The Tanzanian government did not have the resources to mine any gems w/o the proper equipment from those who would eventually come in and take over the mines.  Other large companies go in and do that.  For instance, De Beers (Diamonds) and others who mine and hoard the gems.  The thing that makes Tanzanite so unique is that it can only be found in Tanzania and it was not the Tanzanian government who pushed it to market.  It took large companies and distributors to do that.

I would not call their jewelry junk, however I have stopped purchasing.  I love their Bella,and Vanna K  pieces.  But I cannot continue to support them when they have absolutely no diversity what so ever.  I have some very nice Vanna K pieces.  But I have enough.  The last ring I purchased about a month ago ws from HSN Carole Brodie, first piece from her, has white zircons.  Very pretty interlocking design.  So far so good with it.  It is gold plated.
