Re: ROBERT LEE MORRIS...GONE from the Q ???

It's probably hard for the big name designers to bring products in at the price points that Q wants. Also, Q has strong competition from other shopping channels that don't rely on big names designer. I think most want great jewelry, there's no desire to pay more just because it comes with a designer's name. We all know the R L M piece you get here is not the same jewelry he sells in his boutique. Same with the others. Jewelry customers are more knowledgeable now.

QVC is becoming the infomercial channel.

Robert has said on his Facebook page that he will be back.

In the Designer Sterling event, Robert has one little show in the wee hours. ${#emotions_dlg.sad}$

It's an individual thing, for sure, but they've dumped others I'd rather see back than this one. Not usually a big fan of his designs. Still, the point remains the same. Anymore, there's just way too much repetition of the same handful of brands and a real lack of variety.

I woke up at 5:00 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I turned on the TV. Rachael was on with RLM jewelry and most items are on clearance. I guess he is being phased out. It is sad. I have so many pieces from his early days at QVC and I reach for them often. I love his organic approach to design. I guess nothing lasts forever.

ETA: Just noticed the TSV is a Dyson. I wonder how many Dyson vacuums have been the Sunday TSV in the past year??

I agree....couldn't BELIEVE there was another Dyson TSV............between that the and the beauty products, sleep number and i pads.............that is all QVC seems to be about lately. It must pay off sadly.

Let's not forget Dell, HP, Vitamix, Keurig, Sleep Number and Bose... Variety is SO no longer their strong suit.

I don't think that's it ... he's always used brass. I think people forget that Robert started in fashion jewelry, not precious metals.

I didn't really expect him last night. It was clearly going to be a clearance show.

All Robert Lee Morris jewelry outside of QVC is fashion jewelry. He only does (did?) sterling for QVC. He like many others has gone for the money. The designs he had on in the last year or so weren't all that great or unusual and were way overpriced because of his name.
