Jewelry

I like the arrow pieces.  Still deciding...

I think the prices are affecting the popularity of this line.  Customers notice when prices start out reasonable, then the Q decides to spike them just because they can.

Scott brings beautiful, heavy, quality jewelry; but it's still QVC, not John Hardy.

(I'll be happy to see that Alaska collection gone.)

I just don't see anything I want.  Many of the recent pieces are too masculine for my taste.  I do agree that the prices are getting too high; I feel the same way about Barbara Bixby's line.  These items are made overseas where the labor force is paid significantly less than if they were made in America - the pricing should be lower.  JMO

I agree.  Though I think Barbara Bixby's line has always been super pricey.  I do have a couple of her pieces and I have to say they are gorgeous!  I really like the Jai whale tail pendant,  appreciate the easy pays but wish they would put it on sale with free shipping.

I was unable to watch either show so far today.  Nothing in clearance i want, and the Alaskan Collection still is not for me.  Hope to watch the 5 pm show.

 I am loving the new woven rope bracelet that was on at 1:00.  I love the rope design and purchased it when it was the TSV but sent it back because it was to thin and kept turning around on my wrist.

My 2 cents:

I think he's gone off the path of resembling John Hardy items to the point that his items are no longer appealing to many who used to purchase them in large numbers. The price for items he has bringing in lately are, IMHO, simply too much. Many of them look almost amateurish vs high-end classic style (John Hardy).

I own quite of few JAI pieces and LOVE them. However, they blend it with my John Hardy items; there are times I can't tell which is which. Now? The collections are cutesy (to me). I haven't purchased anything since the leopards were introduced and that is due to a line John Hardy has offered for years based on the leopard; the pieces work so well together.

I don't mind paying the money for a solid, well made piece of jewelry but when it resembles things I've seen at TJ Maxx or Penny's....not paying the price.

I also think he needs to lay off the “layer it up theme”.  I think the models look silly, and i couldn’t stand all that weight on my wrists.  Between that and the mushy symbolism i am saving a lot of money.

He's still overdoing that box chain bracelet.  Now he's got gem beads.  So overdone.  The arrow design has been around by other lines.  And he needs to clean his dirty fingernails.

Could it be that Jai has gone the way of Dooney, LOGO, and IT? We can only take so much of the same thing too often.

@Shawnie   I agree. It’s up to the individual if she wants to layer up her arm...or not. I like it for me, have done it since art school. It’s off putting for others. Just sell one piece and we’ll decide if we need 3 to go with it.
