So agree. I know this has been covered here before but the markup on her stuff is insane. If I'm spending that kind of money I want quality craftsmanship and choice stones not diamonique, doublets or the cheapest stone of the moment (spinel, druzy etc.) The pieces are not heavy enough to warrant these prices even for sterling.

It bothers me that items are marked for clearance relatively quickly. It wasn't all that long ago that the 'truffle' items were the hot lash, and now they're all on clearance.

I just tuned in to her show with Antonella. I don't think they are all that expensive. Especially compared with some of the other designers.

Apparently you missed last night's emerald bracelet for $5,000.

I bought some of her pieces years ago but would never buy at the prices she's charging lately. As another poster said, most people don't even know who she is and if the ripkanistas buy because they want to be noticed well that's their prerogative . I only buy what I love and it doesn't have to be designer. As I stated in another thread, as long as her customers are anticipating on what's coming and buying and buying , the prices will continue to climb. The ripkanistas should never complain about high prices because it is because of their obsession with everything she brings, it drives the prices so ridiculously high. JMO

I have to say I can't buy many JR pieces any longer, but when I got her rolo link necklace this wee I did a little dance. It's perfect for the enhancers I have and makes those pieces look even prettier.

I'm genuinely shocked at many of the prices attached to JR's collection, however I do think some of them are worth it. I'm talking to you, Aurora Mother of Pearl Cuff. One day you will be mine!

And not too venture too off-topic, I'm totes flummoxed by the new Orthaheel prices. Yikes.

Her jewelry is not something that I would wear. The TSV was not for me. It seems that many, if not all, of the jewelry this visit is too expensive.

When I see some of the prices, I feel sad, because for that kind of money, people could get something really nice ... not sterling and CZ.

How right you are. One of her gemstones rings went for al almost a thousand dollars after tax and shipping. Not much silver in a ring and I've seen the same gemstone set in gold on another shopping channel go for much less. I couldn't believe how many unintelligent women there were that would actually purchase Judith's and pay that price for cheap silver settings.
