LOL seka, thanks so much for your hard work.....i appreciate it!

did i miss anything else?

Did you buy a TSV - it looks like it just might Sell Out!

i have not hit submit yet.....LOL, i wanted to see all of the add on options. not sure if i will cave or not. one thing i liked about this is that it is diamonique free, which are the only pieces i am buying now. i generally wait until they get marked down now since the pricing is getting a bit outrageous, but there is something about this TSV that is saying dont wait.

The presentation by Rick and Judie was much better. I love Lisa, but she was a hot mess! I also agree that which link opened has been confusing. Lisa made it sound like each silver segment had several links that opened. Judie using the horizontal jewelry display with Rick helped.

My conclusion is that one link on each pearl segment opens, and it has 3 metal segments. So, FIVE individual pieces that combine in multiple ways.

I was also confused about which pieces open. I got the impression from Lisa that all of the pieces that had a 'crown' opened so that you could adjust the length. But maybe it's only the end pieces that open and not all of them.

To me, it would have made sense to have many of them open so that you could also adjust the size of the bracelet. But if only certain ones open, then the bracelet length will be limited and may not fit people with anything other than an average wrist.

It's funny - I'm always so attracted to these multiple use pieces and then find they are too much trouble to change out and seem to stick with one standard way of wearing them -- I guess I'm just always in a hurry and don't have time to play with the jewelry at the last minute

Rick did the last presentation - they were at 6,000 and counting. I think it did pretty well. I am sure they did not expect to sell tons. They only brought in 7,000 necklaces. The Sterling did better than the clad. I preferred the sterling necklace.

During the Rick Segment. Judith did a presentation which was a better explanation than the one at midnight. She took control as the designer and showed exactly how the necklace worked. It was very clear.

Judith Ripka was very tired tonight at the end. You could tell! She rallied, but she allowed Lisa to do most of the talking.

The add-ons are available now. There are some chain inserts, three different bead inserts to replace the pearls - green aventurine, green chalcedony, and lapis. Those inserts range in price from $220 to $455, and for the chain inserts, it appears that the featured price goes away tomorrow. I don't recall any of them being on easy pay.

I am interested in the extra purchase chain inserts...but to my eye they do not have any CROWNS....anyone enlighten me on whether these extra chain pieces have an opening link? I am thinking I will wait until clearance but if they don't open, then they would not be of interest to me...anyone have a definite answer to this? Thanks so much!

You know what I don't understand is why they would have two green shades in the insert beads? Why green Chalcedony and Adventurine? Of course there was the Lapis blue but was at a much higher price. Would love to see her do rose quartz, amethyst, pink jade, amber, turquoise, tiger's eye - even at the higher price. I hope this was so successful that she brings more insert options. Guess we'll see the future of these when we get ours and post reviews.

Oh, and when you zoom in on the photo of the insert beads you can see that one end of each strand has the link that opens. So, potentially you could just wear the bead strands by themselves. I never saw the bead inserts presented but saw Judith hold them up at midnight and called Customer Service for the item numbers. Would love to have seen displays of all options on how the necklace could be reconfigured AND see some with the inserts. If they did that, I missed it as I wasn't watching all night or all day.

I had the same reaction as you did Quila...why two greens??? Why not other colors??? Made no sense to me either!!!

Exactly! I was looking at them thinking one or the other but certainly not both. It baffles me. By the way, I'll add grey and black pearls and black spinel faceted beads to my suggested list of additional inserts.

Kiwi - as others have said, Judie did the best explanation of any of them. They will all work as we want, I am sure.

Meanwhile, i wondered why two green and one blue insert beads. I would have loved turquoise. Certainly other stones will be popular too. I also never saw any presentation of the metal or stone inserts which would have sold more since you can make the chain longer and have a different look.

I saw that one show Judie had the aventurine on so that'w when i started searching for them. I wish on all these items there would be for explaining and less ..well you know...

Anyway, the first reviews will tell us how it all goes.

Take care.
