I have ordered and returned 3 pieces of VW I just don't care for her line every ring I ordered from her had some flaw so with the third strike I gave up on her line, its a shame her Jewelry looks so pretty and yeh her jewelry is kinda pricy (for the fashion stuff) but to each her own! Happy Shopping!

It seems that she takes some metal and throws several handfuls of bling on it. I can't see any design on the pieces because they are covered with too much stuff--just plain gawdy. I have stopped purchasing her items as no one would ever believe I could afford this jewelry. It doesn't even please ME! Her watches have crossed the line as well, in my opinion.

I have several pieces from VW,they are not over the top.

I too do not like the real big glitzy jewelry

I too do not like the very bold looks that she has! But have you tried Victoria's vintage pieces? They are superb! Just like the real thing ! Try some you might like them! Victoria has quite a talent as a designer!

I hate the YELLOW prongs, too. You never see this in the REAL world of jewelry!!!!!

I am 100 % with you on that. I make a point of looking at the prongs. I just bought a few "fun rings" while visiting Vegas last month. They did such a good job with that. There was also more metal and less rocks which makes it more believable. And come on, that was VEGAS ! I love her designs but I think she needs to tone it down a little.

In order for it to look real it needs to look like you can afford it !

I would love to see 7 - 7.5mm CZ's for rings. Anything bigger tends to look fake to me (although I do own a few!).

I would love if she did some very delicate tennis bracelets, or maybe initial pendents with small cz on them.

I find VW has some nice cz rings, but as I said in another thread, if you lose a stone after 30 days (or extended warranty expires, which you're paying additional for) you can throw it away (or pay an independent jeweler to fix it!). Not so with QVC's Diamonique, which has a lifetime warranty (both big and bold and more "believable" carat weights available). Another thing that really bothers me about VW, and HSN's rings in general, especially in the more expensive precious metals, are flimsy, narrow shanks on a large ring. That's really skimping. VW is always expounding on the labor intensive components of her jewelry -- so how can she allow flimsy shanks?! Don't tell me "to save on cost"! A top-heavy ring that spins around is worthless. (Ever notice how close together the show hosts keep their fingers when showing a larger ring? In most cases it's not because they're wearing a size too big; it's to keep the ring from sliding around!) I've also noticed that the hosts are usually not eager to show or elaborate on the shanks when they're disproportionately small.

LightofDay, you mentioned that some of your Victoria Wieck vermeil pieces had turned an "orangey" color . . . Can you tell me how long you had them before they turned? Or has anyone else out there had the same experience, and could you tell me how long it took for them to turn that color? (I am in love with a couple of her vermeil pieces, but will not buy if they turn so fast.)

Thanks!

I agree I use to really like some of her pieces but it seems they are always toooo BIG! If the absolute was a better quality CZ then maybe it would come off better but absolute is not fooling me. I'm one of those who can spot a fake diamond instantly and can tell you the color and size of a real diamond with just one look.

There is nothing worse than a big honking fake looking ring. I find her pieces to be way to busy and when it has pave forget about it, the pieces just end up looking like cheap costume jewelry.

She would do better to add in a few simpler, less ornate pieces for those of us who do love her originalness in design but don't want to have it all in one ring. Make something for everyone. Those who like the big honkers with lots of stones and gallery work and something smaller 1-3 carats with minimal gallery work and extra stones for those of us who like that style.

Your a vendor who sells jewelry how can you NOT have variety! Smaller sizes, less gallery work, IMPROVE the pave rings and please, please improve the absolute cz I have sent back every ring I have purchased because the stones have zero fire, sparkle, brilliance, and scintillation! Honestly I have rings that I got from a stand in the mall for no more than $35 that sparkle like mad. I'm talking white flashes, and that beautiful rainbow effect. Absolute is just a dead stone. My mall rings fool everyone! No one ever believes me when I tell them they aren't real, go figure I spent way less than what Vicky Weick is asking!

YES ! I can not understand why they don't get it. I do not buy anything with yellow prongs no matter how nice it looks because that ruins the look.

I have noticed the quality on the absolutes is not the same anymore.
