Not for me but cute packaging!

 

[Akimbo]

Looks pretty but, for me, I'd have preferred a fraction longer chain, maybe 18 or 19"+ extender. Back when I wore formal shirts and blouses for work this shorter length worked well just peeping from under the collar. And before you say it on the launch show, Dale, I won't be buying 2 to create a longer length necklace. Glad it isn't earrings again though.

 

[DunmowDizzy]

What's the quality of the metal like on this brand.?

 

[Vianne]

Hmm, I've never bought bronze before. What's it like, oh-lovely-shoppers?

 

[Akimbo]

I see they've jumped on the plated bronze band wagon which I suppose is cheaper than creating the designs in sterling silver. They must think bronze sounds better than just any old base metal plated with gold or silver, but it's really not a whole lot different to brass, they're both copper-based alloys.

I have a couple of bronze pieces and the metal is lovely (not plated over the top in gold or silver). It wears well and hasn't turned my skin green or black. I wish Q would bring back actual bronze jewellery, it's a nice soft deep coloured metal that would look great as a backdrop for lots of gemstones (imho).

 

[Sazza]

Seems odd that this is showing on website at QVC price if it is going to be a TSV soon!

I thought the same thing Sazza, I noticed it earlier today and it's available to buy now. If anyone buys it at the QVC price and it reduces to a TSV price later they will not be very happy.

 

[Vienna]

I had a similar necklace to this ( not Honora ) and found the chain between pearls too fragile and it broke easily.

 

[Breeze]

I like the look of this. At least it's something different from the interminable stretch bracelets, stud earrings & pearl strings that are the usual Honora TSV fare.

Have you ever had any bronze items turn green on you?. I have and silver goes black on me. I think my skin is very acidic. I also have a nickel allergy.
I ask because I like the look of this TSV

 

[Akimbo]

The bronze pieces I have are fine, no discoloured skin; and a Bronzo ring which is gold plated over bronze and that's been fine so far too. Though everyone's body chemistry differs I suppose.

The necklace gets good reviews on the US site.
