Shopgoodwill(dot)com is a great place to find nice pieces.

Some of my favorite pieces I purchased from the Q years ago:  Honora white pearl and neon apatite necklace, RLM sterling infinity cross necklace, fire opal ring and a sterling silver bracelet with a lavender jade charm.

Artisan pieces from arts and craft shows.

I generally buy only 14k or 18k.  I like sarraf online for gold jewelry.  The prices are lower than Q and most other retailers.  I buy from Evine too but only certain lines.  For example, Chuck's jewelry quality has taken a huge dive the last few years.  There are very few of his pieces that I might even consider buying.  I do love Effy, BHG, Fierra, Michael V gold jewelry.  Fierra is my new fave.  I bought a 14k rose gold opal ring and pr of earrings and they are spectacular.  But a few pieces in this line don't have a lot of gold so they go for low prices.  I never buy jewelry from HSN due to poor/cheap quality.   The last purchase I made from Q was an Imperial Gold bracelet.  Otherwise, it's been a few years since my last real gold purchase from them.  I don't like most of Q's gold jewelry because it's so bloomin' flimsy, cheap.

I found a fantastic jeweler in town, a small business, that does incredible work.  They've made pieces for me and modified others.  I am in awe of their work and quality.

If you love moissanite, shop at moissanitecodotcom.  They will make their pieces in rose gold, which I love.  They also clearly identify the different grades of moissanite unlike other retailers.  I'll take moissanite over diamonds any day.

Evine - Gems En Vogue mainly, now.

          - Gallery De Bijoux, back in my diamond collecting days.

James Avery - my solid silver pieces, mostly without stones and a few with.

(I did get some pieces, a few years back now, from Carolyn Pollack's Sincerely Southwest line and her Native American artist's lines too.)

i would definitely say those are what I have the most of.  With a few pieces from Chuck Clemency too thrown in the mix!!

I no longer buy jewelry, don't need anymore pieces.

I used to have custom earrings and rings made at a great local jeweler.

Two of my last three ring purchases were Effy from Macy's.  The third ring was from Macy's also. On super duper clearance.

I buy most of my jewelry from the Q, but  do buy my artisan jewelry from Evine(Samuel B). I love the Q's Diamonique and for the price you can't beat it. I just got an Affinity diamond ring on clearance and I love it.

I love Hagit pices here.

After Hagit, I use a local shop and Ross-Simons who has a fantastic web site.  Everything in their catalog is photographed life size and haven't ever had a problem frrom them!

For me none of the jewelry on the Q can even come close to Evine's, Evine has the best vendors with smart settings and designs. Q's gemstone pieces all very generic to me.
