Sajen/Offerings Back on HSN

Lipstickdiva · ‎03-10-2010

I'm not sure if anyone follows this line. They began, as far as I know, on ShopNBC (Evine) then Colleen Lopez contacted them and was able to lure them to HSN. After a couple of years, they left HSN and went back to Evine. Now, they are back to HSN and will have items on Monday during Colleen's silver gallery show.

I love this line and have been following them thru the years. I bought 2 pairs of earrings way back when they were new to home shopping, I think on Value Vision which is Evine now, (?). Love the artisan type jewelry.

I went over there to look for them but nothing showed up.

The line of jewelry sold on HSN is - Travelers Journey, Jewelry by Marianna.

Go to the Offerings facebook page as they have posted a link to the HSN inventory.

Years ago, when on ShopNBC, they had a nice line of jewelry, innovative and good quality. That's where I first saw drusy. As soon as they got to HSN, the whole line did a swift slide downhill. I wouldn't even wear what they showed on HSN last time around.

Silver by Sajen was a long time vendor on The Shopping Channel in Canada and they used to have really nice pieces which were made in Indonesia. I sure noticed a change in quality when they paired up with Richline (one of Warren Buffet's companies) and the change wasn't for the better. They had a showstopper probably 2 years ago in Canada that was a quartz that ended up peeling. I remember reading the poor reviews and I'm guessing that a lot got returned. That was the beginning of the end and they aren't a vendor anymore. But who knows? Maybe they regrouped and if they are successful on HSN, maybe they'll come back to Canada too. I know that Richard was usually the on air vendor in the U.S. while Mariana was the on air vendor in Canada.

@TY Many people don't know that these exotic topaz stones like Mystic Topaz, are coated on the back and must be handled with care. No steam cleaning, scrubbing with a toothbrush or ultrasonic cleaners. Don't bang them around in a jewelry box. If you see a bright cherry red topaz, you know it's coated but they never mention it.

I didn't know that the exotic topaz stones like mystic topaz are coated on the back. Luckily I have not had a problem with the one mystic topaz ring that I own. I think it was a Chuck Clemency gold ring that I bought from The Shopping Channel in the early 2000s.

The Sajen rings that I read about that peeled ended up peeling on the sides and top but I wouldn't doubt that the back was also coated as well. I think those rings were made in India and I am going to guess that the enhanced quartz gemstones also came from India as well.

I do have some nice pieces from the Sajen line that I bought over the years when their line was new, unusual, and well made and made in Bali, Indonesia. I think late last year that The Shopping Channel cleared out their vaults and put their sample size 7 rings on clearance and I bought a nice Sajen goddess ring for a good price.
