$179 a gram as a TSV, really?

14 k gold shouldn't be any more than $40-80 a gram. This is double that and so very thin for 1.1 grams. Not a good Value at all.

There is always a difference in cost between buying gold wholesale or for scrap, and purchasing new designs and products.

Additionally this item is from Italy, and Italian gold is usually the highest priced.

I think the necklace is very trendy, but the chain looks a bit thin, and cannot be removed.

I shop these more economical pieces for my nieces and SILs. I am waiting to see the little gold inital earrings.

Finding bargains in gold jewelry is a bit more difficult these days. I never purchase gold jewelry for the "value"--I just like the way that gold shines and never tarnishes!

$80 is Not a wholesale, meltdown price. The bangle that was the third item on todays show is 7 g for $379 or $75 a gram. See why the TSV is not a good value? But you are correct--if you like it, the cost is secondary.

At 1.1 grams that necklace will break if you look at it cross-eyed. Not a good value at any price. I could never be a salesperson and gush over something I thought was junk.

The pieces are so flimsy-looking. I'll pass.

Very difficult to get a good deal on gold anymore. 40 or 50 years ago I could go into a major department store in the city and with sale days or coupons get a good deal. The local jeweler or reputable city jewelers would usually give a good buy to repeat or loyal customers. Not so much anymore. Bought many pieces at QVC for years and still have some and very good quality. I have a difficult time fastening now so had big lobster claw catches put on favorites or sent lots to hospital thrift shops. I have not been impressed with reviews of jewelry lately on here for my granddaughters so pass.

This TSV is an easy pass for me. I agree the price is just too high for what you are getting.

The gold will bend and scratch in no time. Very cheap. So glad I have some of my mom's gold pieces and Q pieces from the past when they were truely worth the money. I have a 16 g. bracelet from one of the other channels (years ago) that I bought for $150. Now that was a deal!!
