ring with Re: LR has Pretty Gemstone Earrings

[ Edited ]

The emerald ring with clear stones around it and milgrain work is stunning.  It's small at 1/2 karat and vintage looking.  That's something I would wear.  My sister has an emerald-and-diamonds ring that I'm sure cost much more and is also beautiful, but I must say I like this one better because of its vintage touches.  I find much of Lisa's stuff simply too big and showy for my taste, though they're perfect for most jewelry ladies.  I don't wear jewelry, so I'm not her market.

 

When is Lisa going to give her fledgling business a name and a logo and start branding it?  You must define your product line to build a following.  People need to have a sense of what they will find there and at what price points.  Then she could even do some Internet advertising.  Maybe some of you tribe members could ask her about this.  It's probably silly for me to bring this up, as Lisa knows everything about selling, but I do know a thing or two about buying, if that has any merit.

Re: LR has Pretty Gemstone Earrings

Interestingly, the exotic gem bracelets price was lowered by $40 and all still available.  Is there a grade specified for any of the gems?  Did she mention it during her chat?

 

Where does one read reviews from those who bought anything from her jewelry line other than having to sift through tons of mushy babble on her FB page?  And if a piece suddently becomes available again is that because she got more inventory or were there some returns?  After all LR doesn't announce that suddenly there's more of something available for those on waitlist or does she ship to them automatically.  Also on shopping channels or on websites you get a countdown for how many are available.  Not so with LR.  Her website seems so covert.  Maybe she does mention numbers on her chats.  Who knows.

Re: LR has Pretty Gemstone Earrings

I thought I heard her give a brief description of the grade of diamonds. Grade 1... Is something you get in a wedding set you purchase, Grade 2... Other Jewerly ... Grade 3... Rough cut diamonds. I do believe she said her Jewerly last night was level 2. Not positive, but to my best recollection, that's what she said.

Is she now a gemologist?  That's rather general, ambiguous, vague and omits details.  But it might be enough for some.  Anyway, the rating ought to be on the webpage as well.

That seems like a ridiculous way to grade diamonds.  "A wedding set you purchase" could be any grade, depending on the quality.  I don't even understand what those grades could possibly mean, but they certainly aren't describing the quality of the diamonds.

Re: LR has Pretty Gemstone Earrings

If it's not GIA grading with certification it's meaningless as to quality. That's the only grading anyone should accept. Anything else is just made up in someone's head.

LR isn't running a shopping channel.

 

I have rarely, if ever been to any website where they give you a count down as to exactly how many of something is available or how many are left.  They may state the item is limited or that there are only 2 left but they don't countdown from the initial inventory.  I've never seen any website whether that be HSN, QVC, JTV, etc. say "Only 3, 547 of these left." 

 

I don't think Lisa's website is anymore covert than others.  It would be nice for those that are going to buy, if she would have a review system.  

 

For those not the least bit interested, I'm really not sure why in the world they would care at all what she is selling, how many she sells, whether there are reviews or what she has going on at all.

I would love a review on the black spinel & rough cut diamond tassel necklace! Haven't seen or read about it as of yet.

I looked at her website - the "Exotic Gem and White Zircon" bracelets are described as:

 

Your choice of Tanzanite, Colors of Tourmaline, Spessartite, or Apatite.

 

Does that mean only the Tanzanite is real, and the others are some miscellaneous MIC stone with the "colors" of tourmaline, etc.?

Re: LR has Pretty Gemstone Earrings

@Mj12 I think it only refers to the tourmaline bracelet which is multi colors of tourmaline
