Recently, I sent a badly tarnished bold hoop earrings and a 6mm omega necklace to the Technibond Service Center (Texas), which was supplied by a lifetime warranty card with them, and today I just received mine just as is with red stamped with forwarding order expired. Please beware!. I just learned my lessons. No more Technibond for me.

I have to agree with Leslie from NY. I have had several pieces of technibond where silver spots keep showing up, yes it is very disappointing. And sad to say I will not be purchasing anymore technibond

I find technibond is not what it is cracked up to be. The colors of the gold are not always the same and the pieces are not as sturdy as people claim. Yes for the price you can have a large jewelry wardrobe but you might as well save your money and buy one 100% gold statement piece that you can always count on.

Is there not a lifetime warranty on the new Technibond 14K jewelry?

I loved my Technibond until today. I noticed a spot of silver on the back of one of my ring bands that I have worn only three or four times. I am not sure I can buy anymore until I see how the rest of my purchases hold up. I am so dissapointed.

I love technibond,BUT I WISH you would have more size 10-11 rings there has been many rings with pretty stones, where you stop at size 10,I would love to have some rings to match my other technibond.

I have so many useless necklaces that come with the pendants; it seems a waste to add a tiny chain that will only sit in a drawer. I would also like to see more sets of earrings and pendants, as that is what you really see. Thank you and keep bringing new bold pieces.

I have many pieces of technibond and love the value. I have been asking for years to have larger bails...or enhancer bails? I wear larger necklaces (6mm ++) and have to have larger bails added to in order to wear the pendants. In addition I would love it if you would add the size of bail in your description.

I have several Technibond pieces in gold, and each time I wear any piece I receive so many compliments, co-workers swear that I spend hundreds on my jewelry, Who saying otherwise? Not me. Anyway I would like to see more in silver/platinum, also more big bold pieces to really show off.

Hi Bosco we would like to see more more more technibond MENS rings. Many of my friends (male) tune in to HSN just to see if a new technibond ring has come in. All of us have bought numerous rings from HSN and still are looking for say a nice ONYX technibond ring or perhaps a Lapis (simulated) rectangle shaped ring. Well I hope to see these rings too. Also a heavy Figaro technibond mens chain necklace would be real nice - would buy in an instant if you featured this as well. :-D

Please more BOLD necklaces with matching bracelets.If I am saving money by buying Technibond then I want pieces that are a real WOW I'm not going to buy a thin chain in Technibond.You have some great bracelets, but I want the necklace too. The one bold necklace I do have is fantastic, but there is not a bracelet that matches. Let's get big and bold in 2008.

Hello-first thanks so much for the beautiful selection in technibond. I would also like to see the chocolate technibond gold and the platinum as well. As often as you can try to put genuine gemstones with the technibond. I love your designs and think you have a great eye.

I know trends can move quickly, but HSN has a v-large contingency of staffers to keep current ... so looking forward to Chocolate Gold on HSN ... SOON! Thanx.

Do you have any plans to develop a Technibond procedure for chocolate gold? I first saw chocolate gold in a very upscale jewelry store in the Singapore airport in March, loved it, but it was cost prohibitive. Think it would be a winning idea for HSN customers.

Would like to see more bridal sets with believable carat weight in absolute and gold. The carat weight on your prettier settings seem to be larger than most of us could afford if they were real diamonds and of course everyone wants them to appear to be real. Can you copy some of the designs that I am seeing on regular television commercials for jewelry stores in my area. Need more between 1 and 1/2 carats.

Technibond jewelry events are so much fun to watch & I own a pretty good collection of it. I just received 2 beautiful rings from the last Technibond show & they are sparkling beauties! Sure there have been some pieces that from the get go were brassy or turned that way & some items chipped & just turned ugly. But thats the beauty of Technibond, its not too expensive & if you ever become too disenchanted with it, at least it did'nt cost big bucks! Too bad about the life time warrenty though....

I have bought quite a few technibond pieces; one piece i have had to return three times for discoloration. another piece back to be repaired, came back the same way I sent it. no longer a lifetime guarantee..? it is a hassle to have to pay postage to send it back more than once...I've given up. I have also noticed that the pieces used to come in technibond and real gemstones...now it seems like there are more with simulated stones, but the price does not reflect it. No more TB for me!

I really like Technibond - it gives me the gold look I want at a relatively reasonable price. I especially like the Etruscan pieces! However, I am disappointed that the lifetime warranty is no long a feature of the Technibond jewelry and it concerns me -- has the quality slipped?? The lifetime warranty was definitely a plus and a good selling point on TB!

Hello, I don't like yellow gold so would you consider more platinum or white gold items? There are so few. The white with gems would be fantastic. Thanks for considering.

I bought a wonderful man's ring by Victoria Wieck a couple of years ago. It is a 3 ct. in 14 kt gold but I also love Technibond. I have watched and watched for more men's rings and check the website often but I would love to see rings for men in the high end design like the Victoria Wieck pieces. Do you know of any that are upcoming? If not can you pass on to the buyers and Victoria Wieck that there is a large interest in high end design jewelry for men. Thanks.

Hi, I like platinum better -- consider doing a platinum over sterling line, like Epiphany on QVC. Modern pieces would rock. HSN is easier to work with and faster, but I buy Ephiphany from QVC because I like the plat. look. Think Tiffany silver but with a plat. overlay for low prices and no polishing. You could call it Platnibond and make it the alternate to Technibond. Why not? Try it. I think you'd find lots of people like me interested in buying plat-clad stuff.

I adore TB jewelry!!! I even introduced this line to my 25 year old daughter and she's hooked on TB jewelry. Soon after logging unto the web, we're checking HSN to find out whats new with TB. We also like reading the reviews of other TB customers and often make a purchase decision based on the reviews of other customers. Oh, I agree that half sizes would be a plus. HAPPY ANIVERSARY TECHNIBOND-BUYERS! THANKS HSN!!!

I miss the jewelry boards, and the exchange we had as customers and then as friends. We discussed Technibond at length and gave each other tips about what was a good buy, etc. I still continue to shop at HSN but not with the same gusto as when there was a community of jewelry lovers who 'talked' over the HSN bulletin boards. I love the TB bangles. Anytime HSN offers bangles I am right on it! Like the assortment of styles. Wish for more Platinum Technibond pieces.

RETA, KY 11/28/2007
I HAVE BEEN WEARING TB FOR 7 OR 8 YRS.& HAVE 250-300 PIECES. THE 1st PIECES LOOK AS GOOD AS MY NEW PIECES. I KEEP THEM IN AN ANTI-TARNISH JEWELRY BOX & DON'T WASH DISHES OR SHOWER IN THEM, BUT I DO ALL MY JEWELRY THIS WAY. I GET COMPLIMENTS EVERY TIME I WEAR IT & WOULD NOT HESTITATE RECOMMENDING TO ANYONE WHO HAS NEVER TRIED IT. I LOVE THE PIECES WITH THE GEMSTONES AND I LIKE THE CREATED STONES AS MUCH AS THE NATURAL ONES. AS LONG AS THEY KEEP MAKING TB I WILL KEEP BUYING. THANKS HSN.

I have never bought Technibond. Im wanting to know if it turns color after time and can you wear it just like it is real gold ? I would really like to order some pieces but Ive order other not real gold pieces before from other stores and it always turned. I would love for someone who ownes a lot of Tech. to let me know how it holds up so I can start buying. Thank you,Kimberly

As a marketing test, please do a Technibond ring show featuring half sizes. Perhaps customer response to the sale, would prove that HSN could increase their Technibond revenue. If my normal size is sold out, I won't buy a different whole size, but I certainly would try a half size up or down. What happens to a Technibond ring when a jeweler sizes it? Other than an obvious demarcation line and an opportunity for the gold to wear away, will the gold flake off quickly?

LOVE technibond. I have 2 questions. I know technibond rings can't be sized, but can a bracelet have a couple links removed. I also have noticed on a few of my bracelets that aren't that old that some of the silver is begining to show as though the gold is wearing off. I noticed it more around the clasps, is there anything I can do to prevent this? Thank You.

I wear alot of technibond. Please bring in 1/2 sizes. I have to buy rings in a 6, and 7, to see what size fits better. A 6.5 would be perfect. Technibond is afforable luxury. I like the look with 14K instead of 18K.

Yes larger bracelets. The eight inch sometimes are cut skimpy and are too small.Also keep the metal jewerlry without stones coming. Love it. Many of us don't have an occasion to wear the glitz all the time.

I wish you would have larger sizes in your bracelets. At least 8 1/2 as the size 8 will not fit if they are a large link.
