Jewelry

[dodies]

An earlier topic dealt with jewelry the way it "used to be" on QVC...the all gold pieces, the 18k, the Imperial gold....made me think of Suarti and her beautiful, HEAVY, hand crafted pieces. I have so ,any of them and am so glad I bought them when I did. was there ever any mention of why she disappeared? She always spoke of the artists and workers that were benefited by the association with QVC and that made acquiring her pieces even more satisfying. Anyone else miss her?

Now that you mention her - I haven't seen her for quite a while. I just searched QVC and she has 20 items remaining. Maybe it is due to her schedule or problems overseas, rather than lack of interest with QVC shows?

Like Kirks Folly I believe she is being phased out. Suarti has her own website. True the prices are stiff but she does show some clearance items.

I think she was shoved aside for JAI John Hardy.

I heard that she was one of those that fell by the wayside, along with so many other jewelry vendors. What I really miss, and what Suarti was a part of, are the artisan crafted shows with Peyton Kelly. He was so informative about the different cultures reflected in the jewelry he presented. I no longer really watch Q but I do keep an eye out for certain shows, that being one of them. I haven't seen it in a long time.

Suarti had a TSV ring a couple of years ago, it was a band ring with stones on the side. I bought it and still wear it, but I noticed that the reviews were terrible and there were a whole lot of returns because the stones were falling off. Didn't see much of her after this.

There's lots of Suarti jewelry on ebay.

Samuel Behman has nice pieces on shophq. And he doesn't use CZs (some of JAI pieces have DMQ.) I have older pieces that are solid and have 18K gold accent. Not vermeil.

She has gonen the same way Echo of the Dreamer went...! I NEVER watch the Q anymore, once in a while I check out the forum (like now). Soon Lisa, Jane and afew others can get together and talk about the old days when they had a good job... Thats what happens to many good companies when their bottom line becomes more important then happy customers.

Suarti was on Shop NBC before the Q. I always found her hard to understand and rather distracting from the jewelry.

I know I'm in the minority, but I dreaded watching her present her jewelry from Indonesia. I loved those programs before they brought her on for entire shows.
