Nice seeing new Ultrafine.  I got the high polish and diamond cut bead bracelet and the 18" big herringbone (20g)   The new lighter herringbone is nice, but I wanted the heavy gram weight. I also got the 18" paper clip necklace;

 

Haven't worn a herringbone in a long time.  Although I have an 18K one, I rarely wear it.  That along with my omega sits in a box.  I don't wear heavy gram weight 18K gold anymore.  Not casually.  Too expensive to lose or god forbid, stolen.  But I'm going to wear the silver version.

Bought some UF a few years back. Did not care for it. Don't know why.

I love Ultrafine.  I have never liked Sterling.  One reason it resists tarnishing, is that it does not have a lot of copper.  Pure silver does not tarnish in pure oxygen.  But in Sterling, they put copper in it.  It strengthens the silver. Copper triggers silver to react to sulphur in the air. Making it tarnish.  7.5% of Sterling slver is copper.  Ultrafine is softer but not as malleable as Sterling. Gold and Platinum don't react to anything.  Silver unfortunately does.

I wish they had more items in Ultrafine.

 

I made my first purchase with the line back in March. I ordered the multi-bangle charm bracelet, the signet bypass ring and the petite star hoop earrings. I love how the silver is so shiny!!

 

I had my eye on the polished and satin two row band ring. When it went on clearance I grabbed it. Was ordered on June 13 and it's FINALLY being delivered today. UGH - 17 days for delivery . . . so frustrating!

Per slow shipping.  The Post Office shares some of the blame.  We have only been getting mail 3 times a week now.  That's how much it has slowed down.  But yes, QVC is still a very slow shipper.

I really like Ultra-fine silver a lot. I bought a piece in March, and it looks lovely....shiny and bright.

I scanned the UF page looking for the magnetic paperclip bracelet they shipped in the wrong size on the last sale.  If it was reordered it is slow getting here.  If it was't, please reorder, almost all sizes and colors are gone.  I did notice an abundance of earrings, very few necklaces and bracelets.

I just got mine.  I didn't know about the paper clip version.  And I checked.  It is selling out again!  Only small left.

I wear an ultra fine beaded neck chain nearly every day. With a silver cremation pendant containing my sons ashes. It has held up well, still sparkly after several years of wear. Seems very strong too

@songbird   Your choices are lovely!  I was also intrigued by the herringbone necklace.  It looks like a nice weight.  I hope you review them when you receive them!
