I totally agree! If it's so rare, why do they seem to have tons of it? Also, if I were to buy turquoise (which is unlikely), I prefer the greener tones of it. The blue is boring.

When I first started watching TV shopping shows back in the early 90s, all I heard was how tanzanite was going to become extinct and we must buy it right away because it will be gone.
That was almost 25 years ago, and tanzanite is still readily available.

It's pretty, but again, it's all about variety and the Q (and others) have been pushing this one color of turquoise incessantly now for about a year... It's getting old...

LOL, be careful what you wish for, Q may decide THAT is next big trend.

It's just not the same as it used to be. The prices are higher, the selection is more bland, and nothing wows me.
ima, I think that is my biggest complaint, too. Although I enjoy watching jewelry shows and really agree that watching jewelry shows is MUCH better than most of the silly programming that Q usually foists on us, the bland selection, along with the higher prices, are the biggest turn offs for me. Oh and yes, while I like turquoise, the constant "push" that QVC gets into with whatever the current "gemstone" makes me feel like I do when radio stations play the same song too often -- annoyed and likely to change the channel.

This made me laugh out loud! Agreed!!

I felt that they were shoving Sleeping Beauty down our throats. Oh, hurry buy it, we may not have it next year! I don't fall for those sales tactics. If they don't have next year, I guess I missed out.

It's their latest flavor of the year... Like drusy and black spinel before it, they've been shoving it down our throats for the better part of the last year... That seems to be how the Q rolls these days... Pick a gemstone, buy a gross of it and then ram it down the audience's throats until it's pretty much gone and then move on to another single choice... Unfortunately, it's not limited just to gemstones. You could say the same thing about blenders and computers...

You really made me laugh today but you are right. The Q picks something and then they are on a roll with it. Like one lady said, there are so many beautiful gem stones, just bring us more variety.
