Premier Designs Jewelry Consumer Reviews - Page 3

RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA -- I went to a party to help out a friend and purchased a few items for astronomical prices, now that I see the real product. One item arrived already broken in the box. It took almost a month to get a replacement. And, the "jeweler" told me that she's had this happen a few times. Just a normal result of mass producing. What?? And you want me to have a party and let my close friends spend their hard earned money on crap, so I can earn more free crap. No thank you!

The jewelry is the same quality I would find at a Claire's or Icing store at the mall. One or two uses and it breaks. But, instead of paying next to nothing, this jewelry was so expensive. What a rip off.

Recently, me and several of my other family members purchased jewelry using Premier Designs. Needless to say, we were very disappointed when the jewelry came. I was told that everything was made in America. My jewelry said it was from Korea. I'll give it that my ring was very sturdy... some kind of surgical steel I'd say, it was supposed to be adjustable but wouldn't even move when I took a hammer and a pair of pliers to it. Also, it was so uncomfortable to wear that it constantly made raw spots on my finger. My sister in law ordered the same ring and hers never said it was made in Korea and she said hers was easy to adjust.

My grandmother's necklace looked like they had spent 75 cents and got it out of a gumball machine. My brother's wife ordered a $50 bracelet that was held together by fishing twine and broke on the first wear. This company is a complete ripoff and I don't imagine they have very many repeat customers. At best, they probably buy overstocks of Dollar Store jewelry and jack up the prices on it. I'll rate it 2 stars cause that ring sure is some kind of super alien stuff.

DALLAS, TEXAS -- I started selling this jewelry... if you want to call it that... a year ago and would never do it again or tell anyone else it is a good idea. First off the jewelry is not that great at all... It turns colors very quickly and sometimes looks nothing like it does in the catalogues. Second it is a total pain in the butt to always have to exchange and return the items because people get things that look nothing like they have ordered... Plus by the time you spend all your money, time and effort into the parties you hardly make any money... And all the promos and books change so often that if you actually have a real job it's impossible to keep up.

And be sure to pay every year to keep being a jeweler. I think almost $800 the first yr and $400 every year after that. Plus if you don't buy the new items yourself then your jewelry gets out-dated for the parties so there goes more money! Plus at the end of the year to file taxes is the biggest pain of all and of course another $300 to file them!

Oh and not to mention when you return items, the company will say they didn't receive it and then charge your bank account for it... When you catch this it takes weeks to get your money back, because you have to call them and give them your account number to credit your bank... But they didn't need to call and get your account number to take the money out of it now did they??? What the heck is wrong with this company!

IVRVING, TEXAS -- They are a lot of $100 necklace in their catalogs. And they are just beads, no real silver or gold. Everything is plated. I got conned into becoming a seller $395, plus shipping, tax for membership. Over $900 for a kit. $40, plus tax and shipping just for 12 catalogs. I could sell a darn thing! Nobody wanted to put with doing home shows just to buy a piece of jewelry. I'm too old to be going door to door trying to sell it. As if someone wants to let a stranger in their house anyway. Well anyway later on, I get talked into renewing for a 2nd year and was told it would be better customer service and better quality jewelry.

So far every piece I have worn has tarnished & turned my skin green. I pay out $350, tax, shipping. $40, tax, shipping for 12 catalogs. I bought 3 packs plus mini sales catalogs to be able to leave them with girlfriends. As soon as it's all delivered, I get a letter from Premier Designs, stating that someone is selling the jewelry on my behalf on the internet and immediately closes my account! And the prices in the catalog were increased not decreased. Later found out the same woman that conned me into it makes commission of your sales! Last but not least my email was flooded with harassing letters from the company when I started sharing my story!

DALLAS, TEXAS -- PREMIER DESIGNS JEWELERY IS AN AWFUL COMPANY. I worked for them and my sponsor went around telling my family personal things about my business. Second of all the jewelery tarnishes after a couple months! The stuff is so ridiculously expensive, I got 6.00 necklaces at Forever 21 that are same quality! They get their jewelery made in China for dirt cheap and then sell it so high so jewelers can make money! Buy it on EBAY for more than 50% off the retail price! I have rings, necklaces and earrings that I had to get replaced within a few months! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! DON'T SIGN UP AS A JEWELER EITHER!!!!!! They're all FAKE!

I purchased the $60.00 Maui bracelet from Premier Designs. It fell apart within a couple of weeks. I returned it for a replacement. I was sent another one that not only also fell apart, the "gold plate" is so tarnished I'm embarrassed to even wear this piece of junk any longer. I can't even attempt to clean it because where it's tarnished is where it falls apart! I'm pretty sure that my replacement was another person's return.

If you could see the difference between what this bracelet looks like compared to the picture in the catalog, the difference would be shocking. Too bad this company makes such junk and the consumer doesn't realize until it's too late. I've bought better quality $10 bracelets from Target and such.

UPDATE: I finally decided to see if Premier Designs Inc. would send me a new Maui bracelet that looked new and didn't look like it was going to fall apart without any more money being shelled out by me. ** in customer service helped me do just that. Thanks **.

I made the mistake of purchasing Premier Jewelry and even having a party once. Complete worthless junk. Tarnished right away and no, I wasn't swimming, showering, sweating, sleeping or sanitizing. Another necklace broke through no fault of my own. I paid $75.00 and it simply fell apart after the third time I wore it. To get a replacement I would have had to have paid $5.00 to return it. It's not even worth $5.00. Don't waste your money. You can go to Kohl's, JC Penny or Sears and get better quality stuff. Never again.
