[quote=Anonymous]I've been a S&D Stylist for over a year now, and have only had one piece that didn't hold up to my standards. This jewelry is designed by people that have come from top fashion labels, and its made in the same factories as top labels. Sure, some if it is made in India, but when you're designing a piece based on something you've seen in India, who is going to make it better? People in India of course! There is a link on the Stella & Dot website which explains the corporate responsibility, and they are members of a couple of fair trade organizations.

The price may be a little high for some people, and as stylists we certainly recognize that not everyone is going to buy. But those who do, love it. The price reflects the quality materials and the labour that goes into each piece. Some necklaces take a couple of hours to make each one... some necklaces are strung by hand. And while some of you say that the price is still too high, if you went to Michael's to buy all of the materials that go into a particular piece (same quality as the S&D materials) you'll find that you'd spend just as much or more, plus you'd have to put it all together on your own.

There's a reason that Stella & Dot brands its in-home sales as Trunk Shows, not 'home parties'. They're meant to be casual, fun and like a mini-boutique set up in the home. Not a party with sales on the side. If you're not interested in attending or buying, then simply decline the invitation. No one is going to be offended if you say "Sorry, but I'm not really interested in the jewelry" or "That's not really in my price range/budget".

Stella & Dot is not my main job, and I don't bug my friends about it. I usually let them know when a new line comes out because there are always a TON of new pieces, but they know where to find me if they want something.

It doesn't hurt anyone to say to their friend "you know, I'm not really into the Stella & Dot thing, but how about we go for coffee/movie/dancing?"

Any quality issues should be brought to stylist you purchased from. You don't even need to call customer service yourself. That's what the stylists are here for.[/quote]
