Hi Bosco, I am swooning over the Orit Schatzman half moon ring I just bought from HSN and love that you brought in such a fascinating jewelery designer. Please bring in lots more of her beautiful jewelery! ALSO, please bring back more ARGENT jewelery soon so I don't have to go to Paris and hunt them down myself. I love her silver pieces!

Hi Bosco. I attempted to buy several watches and received emails from HSN stating that due to Proposition 65, HSN is restricted from sending to Calif. There are notations under the watch descriptions stating the same restrictions to Calif. residents. I emailed the Prop. 65 Committee and received a response that Prop. 65 would not affect the ability to ship watches to Calif. HSN is using this as an excuse or misinterpreted the provisions of Prop. 65. Please, how about an honest answer?

Hi Bosco, I was watching the Tori Spelling Jewelry show with Colleen Lopez yesterday, I had been looking forward to this and was excited to see what I would be interested in buying. However, I didnt buy anything because I was really disappointed with the way the host, Colleen Lopez behaved in the whole show. It was so so so obvious that she did not like the jewelry.

I bought a crome dioxide solitare ring that I loved,alas,I have lost the stone out of it. Is it possible to ever buy just a stone,so one can replace it?? I would really love to be able to have it back without having to buy the gold that it was in.Thanks,L.B.

Please some Technibond enhancers. There are so many omega type necklaces offered now that are really beautiful and affordable. We need enhancers to wear with them. Some with stones and some plain gold or platinum plated. No diamonds they are too small like chips.

I love Jay Kings jewelry and try -within my income- to pick up pieces with unique stones when I can. I have a peppermint opal necklace that I LOVE and have worn it 3 times. Last week, the wire on which the beads are strung became loose from the endcap and the whole thing came apart. One of the beads broke hitting the floor. It is no longer covered by HSN (owned it 30 days+), so they will not help me. All I want is to get my necklace repaired, but I don't know how to go about it.

Hi Bosco.The Talisman Sterling Silver-Om Mani Padme Hum Spinner Ring(Item: 229-521)is again showing SOLD OUT. I need a SIZE 10 that never came - all you had was a size 6. Also, I don't see Talisman when I click on Jewelery-All Brands. Are you planning to stop selling Talisman brand? thx

I cleared an entire credit card when I heard Jay King in October mention that he would have Precious Opal jewelry. But alas and alack, late December's shows HAD NONE!!!!! I was so totally disappointed. I watched each and every show hoping that he would mention that he had production or QC problems, but he said nothing. WHAT HAPPENED??

Hey Bosco! Please expand on the flexpay and increasae the larger sizes so they don't run out first! If they do, that means you don't have enough volume!

What is Tanza Quartz? I have never seen it before and can't find references on the web. It looks like tanzanite. Does it have the blue/purple tones? It is a color-enhanced gem?

I love the moissant ring featured on the cleance page header. It is, one ring with a center band of a large trilan cut stone with princess cut stones set in the shank on both sides of the center stone. It also is flanked on both top and bottoms of rounds set in a eternity style. I would love to see a design smilar to this in 14k and diamonque.

Hi, could you please ask Jay King to make some turquoise & silver cuff links? Or perhaps just some plains silver ones, he's always saying that he has stuff left over & I think that would be a perfect solution. also he might think about making some copper jewelry, I thinks that's going to be hot this year & he's so close to many coppper mines.

I am a big Technibond and Mine Finds fan. Could you see if either brand could do a few more pins. I really love nice pins but neither brand does a lot or even some pins. Thanks
