I was rather dismayed today to see someone ask in the chatbox 'what was the difference between item no AB123 & CD456. Katherines reply was they are the same, but they had to make more & gave them a different code. Why did they 'have' to make more?
Both Steve & Carol also sold items that were listed as '1 of 1', 'the only one made', etc etc but then said that 'they were testing the water' & if we liked them, they would make more. Steve in particular said this about more than 1 item, but those springy jade bracelets were definately one.
Steve also showed an amethyst ring today http://www.colouredrocks.com/i-kc735/amethyst-ring/ which he said was brand new to rocks. The details says its part of the 'Jacques Christie' range.
I have exactly the same design in tanzanite http://www.colouredrocks.com/i-xc472/tanzanite-ring/ bought some time ago, but the details are 'Sarah Bennett' range.
Is Jacques Christie Sarah Bennett in drag? Should either item prove to be a best seller, will we then see them reproduced under the other range, but with a different product code & classed as a 'new' design?
I know these items are also available in other gems, & therefore technically different, as is the case with many designs, but what happened to 'we never repeat designs'?
Does this mean that items are not quite as 'exclusive' as we thought they were?, and indeed, as we have been told they were.
I have bought a few expensive items,(totalling over 4 figures) that had a 'wow' factor for me because I thought they were '1 offs' or limited designs. I would be very unhappy to discover they are not.
