I still attempt to win auctions but like you, very annoyed with the shill bidding. It's either random people creating new accounts to do this (never intending to buy) or employees. All the real gold jewelry have hyper inflated bids! Why would anyone bid hundreds, sometimes thousands of $ higher than...

I was a young adult in the 90's and loved watching HSN, especially Dan. This was back when callers could speak with the host live on air. Entertaining lol. I learned a lot about precious metal and gems from him. Bought nice 14k rings (emerald and ruby in identical settings) and other pieces.

And then wonder if they mean solid gold chain (not hollow). When I see their expensive gold chain presentations most of the time they don't mention if it's hollow or not.

Is there a maker's mark inside the band?
I remember watching months ago one of their presentations for a Modani ring and they said some might not have a mark but assured viewers it was Modani.

Update: The refund is on the way and will arrive before Feb 28. Much appreciated

Tracking shows it arrived at the Amazon facility Feb 14 (located approx 20 miles from me) and then sent to my local USPS mail facility. (why did they...

Haha I also wonder if it's a play on gal, do they assume everyone's Valentine is a gal?

This time I have to rant about the length of time it is taking for a defective gold necklace I returned on Jan 26. It is still in transit and yesterday showed "out for delivery". It's aggravating to see it was sent to another city further south in my state (Florida) via USPS and then handed to UPS o...

Very late last night (actually early morning) I watched the gemshopping channel and they had a fast paced Modani auction. The jewelry was high quality and incredibly fancy- most of it was impractical for daily wear. Definitely not what we see on ShopLC.
