SUGGESTION QVC FOR JEWELRY.....

Let me start of by saying  this is a SUGGESTION for those who criticize when we make suggestions and tell us not to tell QVC how to operate their business as  they know better.....we all know who these individuals are..............

 

That being said, QVC you showed a gorgeous Eterna Gold bangle bracelet - I would have bought that in a hearbeat if only it was in white gold!!!!!!!  I don't understand why but you and your distributors, seldom offer  white gold anymore....mistake - at least to me - because many customers I believe would like the white gold especially when offering gem stones.  I bought a gorgeous emerald and diamond band ring this summer in white gold....recently you had a gem day with alot of beautiful jewelry but hardly anything in white gold.  In my opinion, white gold shows off emeralds much better than yellow gold.  But like I said,  I am on the hunt for the perfect bangle bracelet in white gold as well as I would like some other link bracelets  in white gold!

 

Just a SUGGESTION to only QVC

Actually, QVC needs as much help as they can get. The programming is so BAD compared to how it was in the day. I don't even like their 14KT/18KT gold jewelry --- most of it is filled or too thin. I'm  lucky that I bought a lot of gold pieces years ago. Today I'm wearing a pair of QVC's 18KT small oval twisted hoop earrings - very substantial.

I know what you mean Kivah - one of my favorites purchases years ago was a 10mm diamond and black Tahitian gold pendant with necklace for a little over $150 - when they try and sell Tahitian pearls today by Honora - they are ringed pearls.....just not the same as the good old days, huh?

You also rarely see 14K or 18K rose gold on QVC these days, though they do offer sterling silver jewelry clad in rose gold. I treasure the 14/18K rose gold pieces I bought back in the good old days.

I imagine most people who want white metal, just buy silver.  There's a huge price difference of course, and the casual observer wouldn't know the difference.

Not sure why you would assume this when they both wear and look differently.  They don't compare just because they're White.  Rhodium plated silver might help but it is definitely going to wear off.  Meanwhile Silver is going to tarnish and require care to keep it "white."

@itiswhatitis  When seen from a foot away, to most observers silver and WG would appear identical.  I have a huge silver collection which I'd measure in pounds, not ounces.  I don't spend 5 minutes a year polishing it because it's stored in anti-tarnish boxes and never left out.  This should be done for any good jewelry as it also keeps metals and stones from getting scratched.

 

I love my silver and would never spend the money for WG. Apparently many others feel the same way which is why QVC carries little of it.

Re: SUGGESTION QVC FOR JEWELRY.....

I understand what OP means.   I feel the same way about rose gold...and yellow gold most of the time.  Q's gold inventory stinks these days.  It's either cheap, flimsy stuff or Arte d'Oro.   I'd like to see more in the middle in all colors.   Q isn't the big jewelry retailer it used to be and I know the price of gold affects that.  But I think they are missing a huge market by not offering mid-price ranged gold.

@grooms. I understand your frustration of not many white gold pieces.  I have lots of QVC gold back in the day of all three colors..yellow, white and rose gold and treasure them!

 

I did, however, order a 14 kt. White gold bracelet during their 4- hour 1/2 off flash sale and it is gorgeous!  It is still at the clearance price, about $75 more than what I paid...I paid, $348.  The clearance is $416, but if you are interested, the item number is J-324667.

 

two others bracelets in white gold are at "as is" prices, you might want to look at!  Don't be afraid of "as is" items as I have ordered things in the past...most recently, J-331068, 15.5 GM yellow gold bracelet....what a great reduction....almost feel to my knees when I got it...perfect condition!

 

Anyway... other white gold bracelets...items, J-319687, J-319716.  Good luck on your "white gold" pursuit!
