Nothing for me either, but there seldom is on Gem Day.  I don't really love colored gemstones, and the ones I would want they don't have, and if they do have it I don't like the setting.

 

HOWEVER, it's preferable to watching Dysons, mattresses, Bose, and their old-faithful repertoire of qrap.

Let's say for example I had budget affording the TSV of my choosing. Certainly would expect knowing grade of gem. Common sense.

I'm loving it. Finally, colored, faceted gemstones with good saturation...many set in 14k, which many on this board said they wanted.  There's a reason the TSV in blue zircon sold out.. There's plenty set in sterling, too. Two unusual pieces featuring rainbow moonstone in a fine jewelry look went on waitlist at midnight.

 

It's great to see something beside turquoise and opaques and artisan crafted for a change. Lovely stone and desigh esthetic (I own a lot of both!) but they're shown to the point of overkill elsewhere.

 

Thanks, QVC, for a day of variety and beauty in fine gemstone jewelry!

I'm not much of a fan of gemstones, but some of the pieces sure are pretty. Just not the way I choose to spend that much money.

I'm so glad that I have my tanzanite ring.  These prices are nuts and they don't even tell you what grade the stone is.

I think most of the choices are a little pricey.

I like turquoise, pearls, and tiger's eye.  Have not seen much tiger's eye lately, but I am not watching jewelry shows very often.  Colored gemstones look like pieces of candy to me, so they don't appeal to me too much.

 I  have a nice Morganite ring already, sorry I missed out on the blue Zircon.  The tanzanite ring is very pretty and of course you are going to pay for that blue color.  Would like to know its grade (A, AA etc.) but that is not provided in the presentations. 


 

@chvall99  The omission of the grade is quite telling.

 


@Shanus I deleted my previous post. Apparently, Jeff is telling people on Facebook the grade of the tanzanite. I guess QVC only partners with GIA when they feel like it. Amazing..

I've looked at all the items presented thus far today and not one thing has appealed to me.


@151949   Sounds like you need to change the channel....  I've seen a lot of things I like, but can not afford....

I love gemstone rings but I remember when QVC sold affordable jewelry. My colledtion grew then. I can't afford most of what they're showing. Or maybe the price of gold and silver have gone up, IDK. HAs anyone tried LC? They show more affordable jewelry but maybe not good stock?
