Premier Jewelry Is a Scam

Premier has been the biggest blessing in my life so far. I am a jeweler and lifelong jewelry collector, and Premier's jewelry is the nicest in my collection. It is quality, life-long, and beautiful.. just like all the relationships i have built with jewelers and hostesses i have had the pleasure of knowing through Premier!! Love this company, this article is misleading!!

I myself am a premier jewelry lady and I must say that what you are saying is a total lie. All my clients will tell you that the jewelry is high quality and besides that I am allergic to the medals in cheap jewelry but I can wear every piece in our line so I know it's not cheap.

I have been to and purchased many Premier Designs Jewelry peices and you my dear are the scammer. I would be willing to bet you are a competitor and lack integrity! Premier is the top company boasting ethics and a Bible Based philosophy. Your comment is a complete lie.

I recently ordered jewelry from a friend's Premier Jewelry party and hosted my own party a few days ago. I have seven pieces of jewelry and the quality of all my items is great. I have a ton of 14K and sterling jewelry and wouldn't wear anything that looked cheap!

Cheap stuff. Major rip off.

I've bought quite a bit and the quality is fine. The pieces are exactly what is shown at the show. You have got to be kidding. A local TV anchor? Anchors aren't the ones who go out on investigative stories. They anchor the news show and segue to the investigative journalist. Anyway, this also is not a pyramid. The jeweler gets 50%, the one who recruited her gets 10% and the one who recruited her gets 10% but it doesn't go any higher than that. Pyramid schemes are where you pay money to join then go to meetings and continue to pay money to go to meetings and everyone above you gets a cut.

I'm more than willing to believe the poverty- to - riches aspect but I'd like to find a catalog of expected prices before I go to my d-i-l's party next week!

I am a Premier Designs independent distributor. I have never worked for such a devoted service oriented company! I hosted and attended many shows before making the decision to join the thousands of others who have made Premier a part time endeavor or a career. The jewelry I display is from the same stock that my customers order from. There is also a Golden Guarantee that allows you to return items for free in the first sixty days, or anytime afternoon that for $5 if it has a manufacture's defect. Given your disappointment or suspicions, you could have returned the items right away for a refund. I'm sorry you feel you had such a bad experience, but as you can see from the other remarks, the company has a stellar reputation.

If you could please everyone all time, life would be boring..
Premier Designs is an amazing company that gives and serves, if anyone doubts that they should go to Regional Rally in July and they would have a change of heart:)

I had a party few a weeks ago and the girl did everything she could to help my show and get me free stuff for my wedding. Just because you had one bad experience doesn't kill the whole kit and koboodle. She also did my friend's show and very kind, since my friend just lost her dog the day before.

Post your video. My bet is that you wont because it will prove you wrng!

I love Premier Designs! I have been in the business for just under a year, and cannot believe how wonderful it feels to help ladies feel and look their best!! Premier has been a huge help to my family, both financially and spiritually. All of our jewelry is of the highest quality fashion jewelry. And the best part?? It has a 100% satisfaction guarantee!! If it breaks, they replace it; if it tarnishes or fades, they replaceit!! Who else does that?? No one that I know of. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Premier. Please give us another shot and keep an open mind during the show you attend!! I hope we are able to win back your love, because this business is hugely rewarding!!

I love Premier. I have found it to have the highest qualify of jewelry anywhere and I love the price point. It has been a great source of income for my family too. I have been able to help alot of moms be home with their kids, and also been able to pay off alot of debt and be home myself. I love it. I feel so blessed and honored to represent the company

I own literally hundreds of dollars in PD jewelry and for the most part have been happy with the quality and service. However, a recent selection turned out to be of very poor design, and now I'm stuck with it. It is a necklace called "Harmony" and has 5 strands that constantly get twisted and tangled when I wear it (which has only been 3 times). Evidently since I'm just beyond 60 days since I purchased it, I'm out of luck. I was told that I could keep it and give it away as a gift. There are two problems with that: A) I don't give gifts that I've worn; that is extremely tacky. B) Why would I give a necklace that looks awful to someone else? If I had "tugged a little too hard" and broken a clasp, I could evidently get something else if I'm understanding the golden guarantee correctly? This makes no sense to me. If a customer is telling you that a product looks horrible when worn, would you want them to continue wearing it or would you fix it and let them choose something else? I didn't expect a refund, just an exchange for something I can wear. They have a very generous hostess plan and I truly love my consultant, but this will definitely hinder future purchases. I'm better off purchasing Monet at Macy's. At least they will let you exchange it if it's of poor design.

I am a Premier Design Jewelry and I have many pieces of the collection. At all my shows the jewelry the guests order is of the same beautiful quality. I have also handled personnally several older pieces from guests , not mine, that had lost a stone or had a broken clasp (all due to normal wear and tear) and the company has repaired or replaced the item free of charge or a minimal fee of $5.00 plus tax within 3 days of re-ceiving it.. This company is founded on biblical principals and they stand behind all their beautiful jewelry.

Like any MLM someone has to lose money in order for the top tier to gain money. It is nothing more than a pyramid scheme but they are able to avoid calling it that because they have a "product".
Forget the product. It does not matter what it is. Think about a company in which salesmen make commission. Other than perhaps a licensure fee, such as a realtor, they do not pay the company to make money for the company! Why should one pay a company to sell their product? They socialize the profits but privatize the loss and EVERYONE on the lower rung loses. The only supposed "profit" for the people on the lower rung comes in free jewelry which is cheaply made despite having a "warranty".
Of course, just like any other MLM, there are always a gaggle of hens that will come out in vehement defense of the company despite blatant and downright truthful complaints. Just look at the following comments to people that complain.
"That is not Premier Designs fault so contact your consultant" or "Your consultant does not represent Premier Designs." I personally like this one, "The credit card is 3rd party and is not part of Premier Designs."
Those happen to be quotes you will find in more than a few comments below. With a legitimate business everyone from the janitor to the CEO represents the company and anyone that violates the image of the company is subject to termination, suspension or forced resignation.

Seriously don't believe this post! Know this company, know their jewelry and know their heart. This is NOT who or what they are about. Would like to know how your supposed scam went. Sounds to me like you sell someone else's line of jewelry.

I am sorry that some of you ladies have had problems with the jewelry and the exchange process. I have been a jeweler for Premier for 2 years and I have been around it for 6. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. Premier Designs is based off being personal and serving others, not just selling jewelry. The jewelry has a great quality to it the hostess benefits and golden guarantee is excellent. Women that have shows earn lots of free jewelry and if they have a problem with it, they can exchange it, no problem. I wish that y'all had a better experience

I have been a Premier customer for a couple years now and will begin selling it this month. The product is good and is the same as the one you see at the show. In fact my party girl sold me items off of her table and had me order her the same items and they were identical. So I am sorry about your luck but I have only had great experiences with the company.

I sell Stella and Dot and I GUARANTEE your skin won't change colors. Lol! A little bit pricier but SUCH good
quality. Google all the celebrities that wear Stella and Dot and you'll be AMAZED. Best of luck, ladies! Go ahead...check it out! www.stelladot.com/ameliacvick

Even though Premier let me exchange the necklace and ring that turned my skin green (mind you after I went up their coporate ladder for help) I would not purchase any more jewerly from this company. The woman that was the demonstrater is no longer selling the product as it seems she has exhausted all her family and friends and friends of friends and has run out of people to have parties. Also after hearing all the problems with the quality of this product, why would I be foolish to go back for more? My other friend's bracelet fell apart on the street. I don't doubt that the company treats their employees well as that is their bread and butter but I think in this economy it is pretty easy to find bargains with costume jewerly elsewhere.

yes what is up with keeping the catalog secret?? I went to look at it online and it just keeps transferring me. Would like to see what I am missing if anything ;)

I have been a customer of Premier for years and never heard of this. In fact, I now am selling the jewerly because I love the product and the warranty offered by this great company that I know no other company can match!! I'm sorry you feel you were scammed and would have to agree with others that it would have to be your jewerly lady and not the company or the products it represents. I can honestly say that the pieces we carry are the same any other person can order thru us or other jewelers. I'm glad to hear that the home office made it "right" as all us jewelers know it would. Wish you better in the future with your purchases.

This post is in response to being allergic to premier jewerly. I purchased a ring and necklace and the necklace turned my neck green. I was not exercising, swimming or doing anything other than wearing it to a baby shower. The ring also turned a friend of ours finger green. When I asked the premier lady I purchased it from to help me as I not only had bought these pieces but had spent hundreds of dollars for other pieces too. Her response wast that it was my fault my skin reacted this way as there is copper in some of the pieces. Well I own a lot of jewerly that is high end and costume and have never ever had anything turn my skin green. I was told I could pay five dollars per piece and exchange the necklace and ring for something else or get this give it away as a gift and would I like to host a party? Needless to say I called their headquaters and also found another rep to exchange for something else. And no way was anyone going to give me a refund even though it was purchased with in a month of it turning my skin green. I do not feel comfortable with a product that is made cheap and the company keeps your money when there is a problem! The next book put out needless to say did not have the ring or necklace in it so I am assuming other people had issues not just me. I have since purchased Ralph Lauren jewerly and get many compliments when I wear it and their company takes back their jewerly with not problems. I don't like being made to feel that it is my problem or that I am a criminal because I want a refund. Thank you for letting me post and for hearing me out.

I am a premier designs jewelry lady & the only way you were scamed, I hate to say was by your so called jewelry lady. Every piece of jewelry I've received from Premier has been the best quality and it is identical to the pieces shown at the seminars & rallies. I am so sorry for your trouble & deceit, but it sounds like your jewelry lady made money off of you & gave you pieces she found somewhere else. I've seen pieces that were similar to Premier but looked like it was made with cheap materials & cost anywhere from a dollar to even 50 cents. I hope she did not expect you to not know the diference, but I'm glad you knew, she needs to be exposed she does not represent Premier correctly & needs to be exposed to the President of the Company. I am so sorry for your inconvience & I hope you receive the jewelry you chose & she is exposed for the fake that she is. Again, I am so sorry for your trouble & wish you only the best.

I am SUPER surprised to see that someone was/is so disappointed with a company that has been, and continues to be, soooooooo good to me, my family, my customers, and so many people in communities all over the world. I read through a lot of these responses and was so please to see other positive interpretations. I'm terribly sorry that you, and the others on here with negative experiences, have been exposed to a misrepresentation of what Premier Designs is all about.

wow! Very funny that the jewelry is different! NEVER heard of that before. I have purchased jewelry off the table at a show, and ordered and it has always been exactly the same. The jewelers order their jewelry the same way they order home show jewelry, and from the same place.....Don't know how that would ever happen. I've been buying Premier for YEARS and never had ANY problems that weren't solved immediately by the jeweler or a call to Premier. They stand behind everything, and the quality is much better than what you get at Kohls, or even Macys costume jewelry.

I just want to say that i have sold premier designs jewelry in the past and was very disappointed in the quality of the jewelry i got in my starter kit in comparrison t the jewelry the jeweler had in her kit. i also want to say that after i did my first party i soon lost alot of my customers because the jewelery they had ordered at the party was not the quality they saw in the catalogs andwas disappointed when they recieved their products.

I have bought about 10 pieces of Premier Jewelry in the past year. I have been very pleased with not only the quality, no breaks or stones falling out, but very nicely surprised by the heft and weight of some of the stones used. I also had one piece, a spoon ring (one of their most modestly priced pieces @ $15), from a friends party bought years ago that lasted for many years with almost constant wearing, no special care given to the ring or taking it off in order to swim, shower, do dishes or anything else, before it started to lose its finish.

Ladies...lets face it...if your skin is turning green...it is you and your unique body chemistry and not the jewelry. If you know you have a sensitivity to some metals then make sure what you buy doesn't contain that metal. I myself have sensitive ears and can not wear cheap earrings for more than a few minutes before that tingling feeling starts in my earlobes. I do not however have that same problem when wearing rings, necklaces or bracelets so I buy accordingly. We can develop allergies to anything at any time...even when we haven't had those problems before.

It may not be very ethical, but lots of ladies combine their orders and split the shipping and handling costs. Think about Ebay. Do you know how they set their mailing costs? They pick points furthest from their homes to cover all contingencies. If you live closer to them they don't lower their charge to you, they pocket the difference. It is a part of their profit.

Hang on to your receipts and guarantees. They are given for a reason. No manufacturing process is perfect. Even on items you did pay thousands and thousands of dollars for. Brand new cars have recalls all the time, those are free but if their products are so wonderful why does the dealer push you to buy more warrantees? Be glad you are given one for items so modestly priced...and it is for a lifetime. You only have to pay Premier's $5 if you have need of it. Not ahead of time just in case you "might" ever need it.

I am sure there are good arguments on both sides for buying or not buying a product based on the beliefs of the company or causes it may support. Religion is probably not one I would bother with, even if that religion was not my own, as long as that religion wasn't using it to hurt people or supporting groups that do. I think if I was going to worry about this aspect of all my purchases I would spend a lifetime checking them all out and no longer have time to shop.

I too had a party and the consultant did a great show. However, when it came time for me to get all my jewelry- it took her over a year. Then I had problems with some pieces and I couldn't locate her- she had moved to another state. I had to call the company and they doubted me at first- but after further investigation- they realized she had moved too!
I won't ever buy another piece of Premier Design jewelry.
