I think it's overkill with the two person shows on diamonique,don't you?  Mary Beth and others have been selling that stuff alone since dinosaurs walked,they don't need help.  I think I saw the Diamonique woman on another channel.  I like her but they don't need her there.

In watching other jewelry shows, I wonder why two hosts too? One is good to me.

I agree with both of you. It's overkill especially when they have presented this line for years with hosts who are very qualified. I can understand when they have Peyton K or David M on set because those are specific to the item being presented.

@MoJoV  Maybe having 2 hosts makes the line look more important or special...needs 2 people to discuss its virtues. Yes, overkill. This is not a remote from Italy where an Italian lady sometimes joined the host to further explain the designs. Diamonique is self explanatory....CZs.

who is david m?

I totally agree!  She seems like such a nice lady and always presents herself well – nothing negative to say about her personally.  I just haven’t taken to her in this role because she seems so unnecessary coming in after all these years when the hosts know more about the product line and have presented it very well on their own over the years.  Some of these hosts started presenting Diamonique likely when she was in grade school.  It is a total distraction to me.   I can see when a new vendor comes it is important to have someone from the company present to explain why/how their product is new/different.  But Diamonque is a house brand that has been presented from day one by the QVC hosts; along with a model to show the jewelry being worn (I prefer the models to the hosts wearing it).  With all the things on QVC that need to be changed, this addition was one that was not necessary.  Perhaps she could be used in another way with another product line actually needing vendor assistance.  She seems very capable, she was simply placed in a situation where one more person just detracts from the sale of the product rather than enhances it.

The only think I can think of is that she's either related to or a friend of one of the higher ups and she needed a job.  She does happen to be a lovely woman.

@nana59  David M. is a diamond specialist I think.

I just assumed that they are trying to make Diamonique seem more "important" (for lack of a better word).  More along the lines of their regular designers who come in periodically.

The diamonique of today IS NOT the diamonique of yesteryear.   My first piece was a pair of earrings my sister bought me in 1995, set in gold.  They were beautiful.  I bought a pair of lever backs in vermeil this past summer and the quality was non existent.  The metal was hair thin and the stones were akin to dime store quality.
