TjMaxx and Mervyn''s for fun, inexpensive jewelry

[Peepa]

Just wanted to share that I''ve been noticing TjMaxx and Mervyn''s carrying fun, inexpensive pieces of jewelry. Also, Nordstrom Rack seems to be carrying more these days; They have a lot of Movado watches.

Did you start this threat just for me?I am very well known at the T.J.MAXX stores in my area...there is a mix of the good ,the bad and the ugly to choose from...some really good buys and some over priced lower quality items.I have purchased a few sterling italian made chains from them at well below wholesale...a curb link gents chain that weighs 35 grams for$8.50, one nice 14kt gold gents ring in their clearance case that had a dark but decent natural 6x4 cab cut sapphire for $75,and recently(febuary) a Hot Diamond brand gents cuff bracelet with a princess cut diamond that retailed for $210 for $29.99....I dont care for the quality of jewelry at Mervyns stores and their high retails...especially when they run the fake sales(60-70 % off inflated retails)...im going to have to check out the jewelry at the Rack...

I get my charms from Mervyn''s but I get what you mean. Hopefully they will revamp their stores soon.

In the early 1990s Mervyns actually carried decent diamond jewelry...they did carry the promo quality stuff that were I-1 clarity with J color..but they carried a line of better jewelry with true SI clarity H-I color....it didnt sell well because it was more expensive and many pieces went into their clearance cases...A friend of mine asked me to find them a wedding band with diamonds that was affordable...I was in their store one day and found a 1 ct. twt multi-row band in 14kt.yellow gold with SI1-H-I quality diamonds for $400.00 on final clearance...It was sad to see them go to the frozen spit jewelry that most mall department stores carry today.
