Anyone have any experience with their products? Just went to a Premier Designs home party and am curious... I looked up reviews online & they were iffy. The jewelry was pretty and prices were mid-range. Just wondering if the quality is there, or not. I didn't buy anything, but my friend is hosting a party in a couple of months & I'm considering buying something then.

Or, should I just stick to Charming Charlie, Target, etc.?! At least if that stuff breaks, I kind of expect it to, at some point, and I won't be out a large amount of money. I am not a huge jewelry person, so I don't like to spend a ton of money on it. Not to mention, my workplace is super casual & so any jewelry I'd buy would be on the more simple/casual side.

Thanks!!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks for the feedback. I was more looking for experiences with the quality of the jewelry from people that have liked it, purchased it & worn it for a awhile. Like I said, I'm not a huge jewelry person, so the thought of dropping loads of money on real gems doesn't interest me. Actually, the last time I had some of it, I promptly lost it... twice. I choose to spend my money on other things. Which is why I normally buy basic items at Charming Charlie or other discounters. I actually really enjoyed the presentation & the gal who put it together. Thanks again!

I went to a party a few weeks ago, it was a fund raiser for my grandson's pre-school. I thought the sales lady was a bit obnoxious and really pushy.

I only wear real stones so jewelry with glass beads or fake stones doesn't interest me. And when the trays of jewelry were passed to me I simply passed them to the next person. I laughed at her stories and was polite. When she cornered me and asked me what I thought I told her I only buy jewelry with real stones. And she stopped talking to me.

My daughter booked a party but has been super busy since and has not sent out the invites and done a few other things she was supposed to do and talked to the sales lady about postponing the party and the woman was rude about it.

I was a Mary Kay consultant years ago and I know that sometimes stuff happens and customers cancel or postpone or their guests buy nothing. As a sales person you simply smile your way through and thank them for attending.

I had a Premier party once. I don't wear a lot of jewelry, but some of their stuff was really pretty. I love silver so I got a long pretty necklace that I like to wear when I am dressed up. It has held up nicely, but again, I don't wear jewelry daily or anything. Their prices also seem to be much more reasonable than some of the other jewelry home businesses like Silpada or Lia Sophia. (They have nice jewelry too.)The parties are fun and they do have some great pieces that can really update or add that extra something to an outfit. Good luck!
HTH,

I had a really awful experience with Premier, and frankly I would never buy their products again. I bought 4 pieces from a party. When they arrived, one was gold instead of silver, not a big deal, but wait... One piece was a necklace with a bunch of little sparkly stones. When I opened the bag, there were already 4-5 little stones that had fallen off during shipping. Two more fell off when I wore it. Another piece was a necklace made up of several long chains that I really loved. I wore it twice. After I wore it the second time, it tangled a bit in my jewelry box. I held it up by one end to shake the tangle out (works with another neckalce that I have that is similar) and one of the chains promptly snapped. Thinking that had to be a fluke, I gently started untangling the necklace by hand, only to have 2 more snap. At this point, it is ruined anyway, so I tugged on another chain intentionally to see how much pressure it takes to break. Um, think tying a bow, that's about the force it took to snap. This jewelry is pure junk.

As you already know, it is a MLM. I have a relative in AL who has recruited a lot of people under her and tries to sign me up everytime we speak... It is based in Fort Worth TX I believe.

I suppose if you are costume jewelry it is ok. My relative seems to look pretty gaudy all the time with so much of it on Maybe she wears it all so she can sell sell sell, I don't know.

I don't wear any costume jewelry... I have my wedding ring and solitaire, earrings and watch.. that's it. Very rarely, I will wear a necklace. I don't own costume jewelry, everything I own is real.

As for Charming Charlie... my 17 yr old LOVES that store as well as my best friend in her 40's They could stay in there all day. My daughter has purchased some cute things and nothing has ever broken.

Do not have experience with premier, but you sound like me when it comes to jewelry...that is why I fell in love with Lia Sophia - they have a lifetime gaurantee with breakage, plus they just started an lifetime exchange policy where when you are done with a piece/just don't like it anymore just return it and pick out something new. I do not sell Lia Sophia, not trying to get anything out of promoting them, I just think its a win win! Yes, when I order I spend $100, but I only order every other year or so and if it breaks, it's covered!!!

I went to one of their parties and bought a necklace and earrings for myself and a necklace for my daughter. I have have been really happy with what I purchased because they are unique designs. I have had no problems with the quality of Premier's products. I would definitely purchase from them again!
