HSN's TS is a 4.12ct Absolute Sparkle Cut Ring. Now we all know how Queen Bea *hearts* fake diamonds, but this is just u-g-l-y bad. This is what gives fake diamonds a bad name!
Let's take a tour, shall we? First, at a whooping 4 carats, the center stone has just flown past believable and even pushed beyond aspirational. The stone alone would be at least 50k (and that's one of average quality at best--certainly not the always-touted D-flawless).
Second, if you were so lucky as to get this stone, you certainly wouldn't set it in an cheap, flimsy setting like this one. It's made out of silver ... couldn't they have made it a little heavier without increasing the price to much? Yuck. Double yuck. Boo!!!
QVC's TSV is a Steel by Design 7" or 8" Set of 3 Hinged Bangles.Oh how I love Steel by Design ... let me count the ways! However, I'm only preachin' about the steel-colored stuff because I haven't tried anything with the gold plating yet. I've heard that it's not as good because the color is either fake looking or wears off quickly.
Seriously, chickadees, give this line a try because it's awesome! Not expensive, durable, heavy, looks like platinum ... I just can't say enough about it.
And don't forget to watch Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer, tonight! He's amazing.

ShopNBC's OTV is a Laurel Burch Large Tote & Mini Bag Set. I like her cat collection and used to have some Laurel Burch thank you cards. The tote just isn't my thing though. Looks like something I should be keeping my knitting in and I don't knit. Check out Laurel's website here.
