Happened the catch a few minutes of Antonella who I love. She was on with the new gem expert I guess. They were giggling about the matrix free ring that was robins egg blue. J349660 I think. Winking and nodding. "Couldn't reveal the source."They finally said it was from the USA. I Haven't checked the website. It's kinda weird that you won't say the source of your gemstones and act like it's a game. If I missed their stating the source I apologize but that was very odd. Don't make people think it's SB if you're not willing to say so.

What is the big secret. Very strange that they can't say what kind it is.

Re: Mystery sourcing turquoise

I know that I would not buy it. It seems deceitful.

Re: Mystery sourcing turquoise

It was odd! I do miss Peyton. Any gg should tell the source up front. I don't know if this new lady is a gg or not. I'm thinking maybe it is SB but they got it from a source they couldn't 100% confirm. It's just that the Q always has bragged about how they tell u so much more than the jewelry stores do, so it's disappointing. Thank you all for your input on this.

Re: Mystery sourcing turquoise

Its probably from the Kingman Mine which also produces matrix-free turquoise and is better quality than Sleeping Beauty which is chalky.  People buy it because it's a pretty color. 

 

QVC does not sell composite or reconstituted turquoise.

It is definitely a pretty color! I think the ring is very pretty. Just didn't understand the winking and nodding and "ummm" comments. Kingman is great, I have several pieces. The vendors I bought from actually said it was Kingman.
