There was only 7 people at my party, and it was a huge hit! The jewelry was very nice, and the warranty on the pieces in awesome! Considering the Jeweler gets 50% of the host sales.. is pretty great!Even if you dont have alot of people, roughly each person will pay 30$ or more on their pieces, because it is nice jewelry. so based on how many parties you want to throw a month, even if you throw one a week, ull make at least 100 extra a week, on a small party..minimum. Either way i love the products! I hosted a premier jewelry party, and ended up recieving beautiful jewelry to give to my family for Christmas gifts.

I have been to a few Premier Designs home shows, and I must say that each jewelry consultant/advisor is very different. Some of the shows emphasized how fun it was to try on the jewelry and eat good food and talk with your friends. Others were more focused on the shopping experience and I could tell that the ladies selling really wanted to make some money. Since each show can be so different, I understand how some previous posts said that they felt like they were forcing their friends and family to buy 'cheap' jewelry. Perhaps people did feel forced to buy, but not every consultant is going to emphasize this as much. You really can't lump all the salespeople and the company together. As for the 'cheapness' of the products, as Faye said, the jewelry is "high fashion" and not fine jewelry (and even fine jewelry is subject to wear and tear, that's life folks!). Premier is less expensive than fine jewelry, but more expensive than most jewelry you can buy at a department store. You get what you pay for. If you don't want to pay that much for jewelry, then don't buy any. You should be able to say no. However, you don't have to bash the company just because you said no. Hello!

I wore it every few days and received nothing but compliments on the item, "Lady Fair". After having it for six months, the necklace broke; however, I got it exchanged for the same necklace and paid only $5 plus tax. My jeweler lady was very helpful and quick to get the item replaced for me. I went to another jewelry show a friend of mine had and it was also Premier Designs, in which I bought two more pieces that I totally fell in love it. I have yet to have any issues with the two items from Premier Designs. I ended up having two of my own shows back to back afterwards because I was impressed with the quality, price of jewelry, and hostess benefits. I have to disagree with Jane with her comments she has written about Premier Designs. Premier Designs Jewelry is "high fashion" not costume jewelry. Though Premier does not offer return policy after 3 days, they provide an exchange for the same thing or something else pretty much for life as long as it is a manufacturing problem. This is by far the best exchange policy yet. The jewelers I've came across are honest, professional, trustworthy, and outgoing so I have not had any problems with Premier. Cheap jewelry is not part of Premier Design's vocabulary, they make sure they stand by their product as well as their jewelers. As a customer, I would have to agree that Premier Designs is one of the best jeweler company. Everyone has their own opinion but if you take a chance with Premier Designs jewelry and should there by any issues with your piece, give your jeweler lady the opportunity to fix the problem. Remember the jewelry are hand made and we are "human", therefore, there are human errors--we make mistakes, we are not perfect. With that said, Premier Design Jewelry is like no other. I love it!!!

Stores take returns on items every day, especially on low cost items. If I purchase a $40 item and take it home and it breaks, I'm certainly going to return it to the store, wouldn't you? (Average-ish price of a Premier piece of jewelry) But with Premier, I can't return it, I have to exchange it for the same thing, or a different thing from the same manufacturer. This is completely against how I do business anywhere else. If I'm not happy with a product, I may give that manufacturer the benefit of the doubt in thinking I received a defective product the first time, but after 2, 3 times? I stop wasting my time and money and move on to better products. I'd encourage those visiting here to do the same. Premier may be debt free, they may be the highest-commission paying MLM, they may have other things going for them, but if they don't have the quality product to back them up, their reputation will fade just like the finish on my Black Tie Ring. bb, I’m going to have to disagree with you on one of those points.

I own a couple of pieces and I like it. I am considering selling and I think everyone needs to know that Premiere has a great return policy. NOTHING last forever anymore so get yourself some nice costume jewelry, go out and look fabulous and let your friends rave about how great you look! No, I do not like every piece but there is something for everyone! I agree with bb. I own a couple of pieces and I like it.

Alot of this jewelry is handmade and yes like all of us there is mistakes made however I am very thankful that I can return it if there is, this jewelry is not made to last forever, if it was it would have the fine jewelry price with it! Premier wants the best for there customers and that is why they have the golden gaurantee so they realize the people just like you and me have a job and they make mistakes, However if you buy a piece of costume jewelry from a dept. store and it breaks after you wear it they will not return it or give you your money back! So Be thankful the company is so trustworthy and thinks or you! As far as laying down and sleeping at night, that has nothing to do with the sell of your jewelry to your friends because they have a choice to buy or not to buy you just offer it and if there is a problem it is fixable and if you fix it then you should be able to sleep at night! Bottom line is people would rather fuss than to be thankful!

I was excited to join a company that talked about putting people first and had such a faith-based business. I did make decent money, but soon started getting many phone calls about quality issues. I also started experiencing these issues with my own jewelry. After only two months I decided to stop selling Premier. I really believe that the jewelry is worth about half the price it sells for (if that sometimes) - thus, the 50% commission. In the end, I was one that couldn't sleep at night selling this to my friends & family. I did replace things for my customers - only to have it happen again. You need to really consider this before making the investment to join their team. In the end, I think I lost money because more than a few pieces of my jewelry are now unwearable.

I have purchased costume jewelry from other companies and have terrible experiences! Lia Sophia for instance did not want to replace my earrings that turned, my neclace that frayed (the metal was fraying anc scratching my neck) because I did not have my receipt and I was no longer in contact with my sales consultant. Every Jeweler i have dealt with from Premier has been awesome and I have not had any problems with mine thus far. They treat their people good and that is something to be proud of. No you can't get your money back, but not many jewelry stores will give you a credit for the original value of something if you wore it for eight years and then it breaks... they do and all it will cost you is $5 plus your local sales tax. I do not sell it, in fact I sell Thirty- One and I can honestly say I wish our company had the same return policy. I hate telling a customer, I am sorry your 90 day return policy has passed and all I can offer you is a replacement item at 25% off. Just something to keep in mind.

(The finish is coming off on the inside after only 3 wears and the outside is starting to wear as well.) I guess the problem I have with Premier is that if I want to return something, I can't, I have to exchange something I'm unhappy with and take a gamble on something else. I understand that there are many jewelers that are happy with what they are doing with Premier, but it seems like in a sense they've been brainwashed that NOTHING bad can ever happen to a piece of Premier jewelry, so if it does happen, it must have been the customers fault or a COMPLETE freak of an accident kind of thing. That kind of mindset really turns me off as a customer. Just admit that you're not selling the crown jewels - we all know it's costume jewelry - own it and live with it!

Just contact your jewelry lady. If you are unhappy with the quality of the item, you can exchange it for another item, no problem, no charge. But you have to contact your jewelry lady, not just post online! Give her a chance to make it right- the jewelry line is changed out 2x per year, and items that have quality problems are deleted, or corrected regularly. I have pieces I have owned for 8 years, and still have no problem with. I have had a few that I haven't been happy with the quality- I just exchange for another item. I have been to the manufacturing plant for Premier, and seen their attention to detail- they have the highest quality standards in the industry for fashion jewelry. Sometimes, since it's made by hand, stuff happens! Also- I tend to have a high acid content in my body, so that can damage the finish very quickly, especially if I sweat, shower, or put on sprays while wearing fashion jewelry... that's not a quality issue- it's a "wear and tear" issue. Let your jewelry distributor make it right! If you have a product that is damaged from manufacturing, it will be replaced for free. Just contact your jewelry lady.
