Thank you so much for your input. The strength and durability are the key reasons I'd like to own a platinum chain. I was concerned it would be easily mistaken as white gold and happy you mentioned it doesn't.

I've been watching presentations for 950 platinum and the hosts claim it's rare. Supposedly it's going to increase in value (hosts say this for almost every gemstone and metal). Price per gram is close to 14k gold which has me wondering if it's worth buying. Can anyone share their insight on the jew...

I no longer rely on their product reviews ever since my honest review for a very thin paperclip necklace that had damage. I bought it in January. You can't find it in the list with other reviews (which of course only have 5 stars) but it's in the uploaded photo section. Hopefully prospective buyers ...

Yes I bought a 10k hollow gold rope chain from here not realizing it was hollow. Broke within 30 days so I sent it back for a refund. Really disappointed but lesson learned.

If I recall correctly, Dan said the "studio" is the spare room at his house in Florida. In the past he's shown stones or jewelry owned by his wife. Anyway I watched Michele and him yesterday and she was cracking up because a viewer asked why doesn't he look directly at the camera so he played along ...

The other night there was a Modani ring presented and the maker's mark was SD and supposedly Modani changed to a new one- this means SD is "old stock". I did some digging around and found SD rings on another jewelry shopping channel, some were set in 10k gold with golden color diamonds. Why would a ...

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. I bought a thin rope chain from them and discovered it was hollow and extremely fragile, broke after wearing 2x. Sent it back. No...

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.
