Definitely something "going on" at QVC towers these past few months. For a start its been noticeable that there have been very few gold gem jewellery shows, whereas years ago they were a 'regular' item every week. Now its consistently the natural stones being offered ie mookite, ruby quartzite (whatever) etc. and a lot more silver, pearls, and sodding diamoneeeek !
Due to the price of gold one thinks ? At one time it was a 'given' that 9ct rings would be around the £100 mark with TSVs generally a lot lower than this. Now they appear to be double that price mark, which means that people wont buy, and in turn qvc wont buy them in and have them taking up shelf space. Just look at the Clearance price of gold rings compared to just a couple of years ago !
All in all there has been a noticeable dumbing down in products offered, and very little new shows being aired, with more emphasis on own brand stock - NN, Kitchen Essentials, diamonique etc being offered all the time. And now a WHOLE day of diamonique ! - that speaks for itself.
Whatever happened to the "Blue Moon" shows ? and then there were guests like Zondra Rhodes with her collection. Will the ring of hers I bought be worth a small fortune now ?????
Oh well, at least 'boring' means my credit card is safe !!!!! and NO I wont be buying any of the imported from China Christmas cr..p they will be offering either.
