I also love the white metals.........so, I've started buying "stainless steel" & "white bronze" due easier upkeep on them.......I have sterling silver, but prefer the steel & white bronze over the silver.......

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.
@Kachina624, It's not the same look even a foot away. Sometimes Silver is oxidized (I don't like it) sometimes it's just nice and bright. They wear different and no, silver looks absolutely nothing like White gold even a foot away. Silver is much brighter than White gold.
I've got loads of silver and I have anti tarnish box. That doesn't help when you wear your pieces though. Nothing wrong with either metal but I don't know why you assume someone would want silver when they said they want gold.

Stainless Steel looks nothing like White gold. Resembles Platinum more. No upkeed needed. White Bronze has been overlaid and yes, there will be upkeep. Bronze isn't naturally White.

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
Hello @grooms - We always appreciate hearing our customer's suggestions. I will pass this along to our jewelry buyers. Thanks so much!
