			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My client who just donned her new 14ct emerald cut diamond ring said </strong>, &#8220;I absolutely love Leslie Greene but what do you think about it being on QVC?&#8221;  At that moment I realized just how important it is for designers like Leslie Greene to execute the QVC strategy the right way and thankfully she has! You see, Leslie&#8217;s beautiful jewelry designs in fine stores like J.R.Dunn and Neiman Marcus are done in solid 18kt yellow gold with high quality diamonds. <span id="more-200"></span> This means her spectacular pieces retail for a couple of thousand dollars on average.  On QVC the pieces look completely different and are done in sterling silver and retail for around a $100-$200. There is no mistaking Leslie&#8217;s &#8220;couture pieces&#8221; that are seen in editorials and on countless celebrities compared to the designs on QVC. </p>
<p>So who are some other jewelry designers that sell on QVC the right way.  Let&#8217;s start with Tacori, I surfed on over to QVC and I examined their designs.  If you took away the Tacori name on top of the page I would have no idea whose rings I&#8217;m looking at. The rings look very, very generic. I feel there wasn&#8217;t a conflict with the signature <a href="http://store.jrdunn.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=588">Tacori platinum engagement</a> rings I have in inventory so who cares. So how about <a href="http://store.jrdunn.com/category_s/148.htm">Judith Ripka Jewelry</a> ? The majority of the jewelers I know only carry the sterling silver line and some of the really hot sellers are priced around $300.  So the logic is if I have a customer that buys a piece for $300 and sees a similar but flimsier looking piece on QVC from $150 they won&#8217;t be upset with me.</p>
<p>So let&#8217;s see some of other guild lines that jumped on the QVC band wagon:</p>
<p>Raymond Weil<br />
Anthony Nak<br />
Robert Lee Morris<br />
Jose Hess<br />
Heidi Klum</p>
<p><a href="http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.html/params.file.|brands|brand1001,html/walk.yah.1001?cm_re=MH-_-JEWELRY-_-BRANDSAZ&#038;cm_sp=MH-_-JEWELRY-_-BRANDSAZ">View the complete list of designers on QVC</a> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s just to name a few. <strong>Ironically some of these companies had the Chutzpah to tell me showcasing their brand on the internet is jeopardizing their image! Oh, but knocking yourself off doesn&#8217;t?</strong> I think if these brands do not manage their QVC strategy properly it might be the beginning of the end for them.  A couple of the jewelry designers we have listed migrated over to QVC well after they were not getting a strong sell through in jewelry stores. And if that&#8217;s what the designers need to do to stay in business then more power to them. I carry some of the designers listed above and I&#8217;m wondering what the QVC effect will be going forward.  For the less expensive lines I hope it increases brand awareness and for the pricier designers we&#8217;ll be watching your turn!</p>
<p>Best,</p>
