What happened to Paola Valentini?

[ Edited ]

Couple of years ago, I used to watch her jewelry presentations and her designs were bold but pretty and suddenly I didn't see her been invited to the Q anymore.

@Margui I must have missed her shows.  Was she on the Q very long?

I loved her jewelry too!  Different and unique, well designed.  It seems many jewelry designers have disappeared from QVC and they have one buyer for almost all of it...Now very generic, nothing different and unusual.  I rarely look at their jewelry shows now.  It also seems they are promoting very expensive jewelry (and I do mean very)!  I loved the Taxdo silver too, very reasonably priced and good quality.

She was never "invited" to be on QVC.  She was jewelry vendor and not one of the big guns.  She didn't make many appearances, probably because her line was gold and expensive.  I think she didn't sell enough, her line wasn't profitable so QVC dropped her.  QVC doesn't care who watches a vendor, they care about the sales that vendor makes.

I remember her.  I wish I'd ordered that intertwining necklace with the beads while she was on.

I own J141154, a marquis-shaped enhancer.  Still like it.  The reviews for that item were left in 2010 and 2011.
