I've really loved their jewelry until my last experience. There's a piece called Havana necklace that has a serious design flaw. The first one I got was broken so I just exchanged it after the hassle of obtaining a return label. The next one was perfect Until I wore it. It's made so you can remove 2 pieces and change the look. Well they just randomly fall off if you happen to move the wrong way. I called again. Getting a human is not easy. I was told no problems reported. Mine must be a fluke. Got a third one. Same crap. It's on its way back and after finding out from two stylists that they've had at least a dozen people with same problem I'm done.

The difference is that the celebrities are paid to wear it. Don't be fooled into thinking Hods or Kathie Lee ever attended a SD party!

And does it make you feel special? or do you think that celebrities have good taste by default?

It's hilarious to see my earrings on celebs like Kelly Ripa and Kathie Lee plus I noticed a necklace on two of the Bachelor girls on NBC. It always looks great on TV!... They must have a stylist at the networks or something. I do notice that if I don't take care of one of my bracelets it starts to look dull, but it shines up with a jewelry cloth... The quality has been as good as major department store fashion jewelry... I have spent WAY more at Nordstrom.

I agree with this. I see celebs wearing the same jewelry as me all the time.

I was invited to a S&D party right before the Undercover Boss episode. I had purchased a bracelet the Friday, January 23 before the show aired. I got my bracelet on Monday afternoon. It was a very nice silver chain with a cross. TWO days, yes, TWO DAYS, later it broke while I was wearing it! My stylist was very prompt and ordered me a new one and I got the return label. On February 2, my second bracelet arrived. Guess what, it broke yesterday while I was baking in my kitchen! This one must have been of "better" quality because it lasted two weeks, not two days. LOL! Well, I emailed my stylist again and this time I told her I just want my money back. Don't send me another piece of crap, thank you very much! I will never buy another piece of Stella & Dot jewelry again.

Overpriced. I hope I am never invited again by any close friends to one of these rip off jewellery parties. George jewellery by George at Walmart appeals to me, so beautiful, so affordable. I felt compelled to buy a piece of jewellery, from Stella and Dot, that will remain in a drawer until, I can figure out who to give it to. I must tell that person, it cost a lot more than they could imagine. The worst observation about Stella & Dot, is your packaging. I have never seen anything so cheap looking. Kudos to That "Underccover Boss" aka, Friday January 30th" She has done a great job convincing people, her product is worthy. NOT! So Sorry!! She sure has a great thing going on!

I recently purchased a Stella & Dot Charm bracelet with charms, within the first month, 3 of my 5 charms are missing! What? really? so disappointed, it was not cheap

There are others, Choloe and Isabel jewelry is very similar to S&D.

Tacky tacky tacky. One of my friends is now a single parent and I'm stunned she bought into this thinking she could make money. I worry about her and the financial choices she is making now that she is on her own.

It's an insult to costume jewelry to call S&D costume jewelry. A few posters made comments about how careful one has to be with costume jewelry. I have earrings and a few bracelets that I bought in the 80s that I still wear occasionally. (anyone remember 1928 jewelry?) The earrings look great. The gold has not come off and I'm not missing any stones.

I turn down every one of these sales events. Good friends get over it.

Really disappointed, poor quality. Very limited return policy, I guess for a reason. Shame on them. Never again. At least Silpada stands behind their products.

S&D is crap jewelry. I've been to two parties as favors to friends, ended up buying a few things, but it's pretty junky.

I have supported many friends by buying S&D jewelry for about the past 4 years. I simply can not do it anymore. EVERY piece I have bought either hurts my ears, stretches out, finish changes color or rubs off. They have a horrible return policy AND this jewlerry is pricey. I spent $59 on a bracelet that I have probably worn 5x and it is totally stretched out. The metal "string" stretched out an extra four inches or so and also stiffened up so it doesn't have elasticity. I will need to get it restrung if I ever want to wear it again. I just don't want to spend the money. I'd rather go to Target. They seem to knock off S&D styles in a rather timely manner. LOL Oh, with all this said, I did by a tech wallet from them about 2 years again and LOVE it. That has held up great.

I think Lia Sophia went out of business. I recall a story last month about Stella and Dot stylists going ballistic on social media trying to sweep up their clients.
