do you think sales may have slowed during the past few months and they are trying out a new model to see if that helps?

The TSV's have been flops.

I guess they don't want to go back to real gemstones...too bad!

I doubt it has anything to do with Judith Ripka. Suzanne used to be on with Carolyn Pollack (along with Deanna - who still models for CP) all the time, and she hasn't been on one of her shows in a very long time. Maybe Suzanne is not modeling at QVC as much per her own request.

I just speed-watched one of the shows from yesterday with video off. None of the prime time shows this visit seemed to be hosted by a-listers. I think the modeling was just fine, and I'm sure that Suzanne will be back at some point in the future.

However, it was very interesting to see that the interchangeable pearl necklace system was on sale for about $120 less than the TSV price.

I purchased the pearl interchangeable necklace as the TSV. I was irritated that they had it event priced at a lower price than the TSV. Maybe QVC understands that they have been charging too much for the jewelry. I used to buy a lot more, but lately I have been far more selective. I also think at this time of the year that QVC needs to clear out its warehouses. The TSV earrings sold well because they were properly priced.

I hope the reason she did not model is the fact of a forum suggestion Ripka hire a new model. Suzanne does a great job showing off the Ripka jewelry.
