Q.I generally don't watch QVC jewelry shows but this one caught my eye. It was for colored diamonds and I was fascinated by the idea that someone would buy a 700.00 diamond ring from a Home Shopping network. I understand fashion jewelry, clothing or electronics. But diamonds? 700 (or as they said retail 1,000, our price 750 and for YOU 700) Wouldn't you want to see the diamonds? Get a grade on them? Am I just behind the trend of shopping from home? I like any other good A.F.'er love my little packages, my FedEx guy knows my dog and asks for him if Charlie doesn't come down with me, even the UPS man doesn't go for the pepper spray when my dog comes downstairs. (The mailman is another story - he hates all dogs and probably with good reason) But a 1,000 retail priced diamond ring?
A.Was it one diamond or a bunch of tiny ones? My father, who owned a pawnshop, used to refer to tiny diamonds as "dandruff" from "real" diamonds. When the diamonds are teensy, there is probably no reason to really grade them. If the color is okay and they sparkle, the desired effect will be achieved. Since qvc offers refunds, a person need not worry much about gem quality. The whole "retail value" issue is totally different. These pieces of jewelry have almost no intrinsic value. I think people just get sucked in by the hype on qvc. It's much like going to Walmart and seeing a sign that claims that the jewelry is 70% off. People assume they are getting a deal. They shouldn't. I think the best jewelry values are often at antique shows. The beauty of older jewelry is often in the design elements--beautiful settings, intricate details. The materials just aren't of significant value unless you are talking about large stones or weighty precious metals. Most jewelry simply does not fit this description. In other words: buy what you like and NEVER consider jewelry to be a good investment.
