 Victoria Wieck. Bi-Color Quartz and White Topaz Filigree Ring. Size 7. I'm showing this ring first because the band design uses two tones of metal; 925 Sterling and 925 Gold over Sterling (in one of her videos that I watched, she refers to as Vermeil - refer to About Vermeil) which is one of the things Victoria Wieck is known for. I had difficulty photographing the stone because the top half of the stone is transparent and reflective. I'm including the eBay link for the ring because the pictures are great and you can see the perspective value of the ring. FYI. This online seller's pictures and description are more impressive than most. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325201847259?. Ebay. HSN Victoria Wieck. 5.8ct Bi-Color Quartz and White Topaz Filigree Ring. $259. Was $129. Sale $64.99. I put the Value at $120. My Price $60.

About Vermeil.

https://cadcamnyc.com/blogs/our-blog/vermeil-vs-gold-plated-vs-gold-filled-which-is-better. Vermeil vs Gold Plated vs Gold Filled - Which is Better? Vermeil, also known as “silver gilt”, refers to high quality (pure or sterling) silver that is plated with a thin layer of gold. Most vermeil jewelry available now is created by electroplating the silver with gold, a chemical process that uses an electrical current to bind the two metals together. In order to be considered as true vermeil jewelry in the US, the piece has to meet certain qualifications. For instance, the gold on the piece needs to be at least 2.5 microns thick, and at least 10k or higher.

Victoria Wieck. Absolute. Simulated Emerald Ring. 925 Sterling and Vermeil. Size 6.5. Value $120. My Price $60 When I first saw this ring I thought it was very old, belonging to either my grandmother or even my great-grandmother. On a YouTube video I watched (from June 17, 2017) Victoria states she launched on HSN Aug, 10, 1998); it was definitely purchased by my Mother. She has several of her rings in her collection. The reflected portion of the ring shows how light affects the stone.

Victoria Wieck. 925 Sterling. Amethyst Butterfly Ring. When I first saw this ring I thought it looked like an Avon ring. I didn't care for it; my niece thought it was "cute". I found a few online for various prices. One had $182., crossed out, priced $59. This picture is the best overall picture of the ring (and looks like the ones I saw online), but the color of the wings is too dark (it looks like the butterfly has a lavender smiley face; the stone is clear). The blurry picture, below, best shows the lighter lavender color of the wings). My Price $60.

There are LOTS of HSN YouTube videos featuring Victoria Wieck. Since she ended her connection with the network, those jewelry pieces are considered collectibles. She is a very popular designer. If you Google, Victoria Wieck Rings, you will get numerous “results”; including, https://victoriawieck.com/victoria-wieck-jewelry/. Victoriawieck.com. Amazon. eBay. Etsy. Poshmark. Mercari. Gem. You’ll see LOTS of examples. Also, Video links and when you click-on the link there will be links to other videos.


Victoria Wieck Women Jewelry Rings. https://poshmark.com/brand/Victoria_Wieck%20-Women-Jewelry-Rings. I found four of the rings in Mom’s Jewelry Collection and saw examples of her designs. Note all the different sellers. Since researching online for matches to pieces in Mom’s Jewelry Collection, I have learned that the majority of pieces were purchased at “Estate Sales”. Prices vary a lot between sellers. If the ring is made from a “precious metal” it is marked on the inside of the band, i.e. 925 for Sterling. 10k, 12k, etc. for Gold. Usually, the country where the ring was made is marked. Rings by designers usually have a marking, i.e. their initials or a symbol. Victoria’s rings have a symbol that may be a stylized VW but I cannot see it clearly enough to be certain. There are no gemstone markings, except for an occasional “CZ” (Cubic Zirconia). Consequently, in most cases, you cannot be certain. Do some research, by reading about them and watching videos you can learn about the quality of their jewelry. You might find your item featured in a video.

Amy Kahn Russell.

Another one of Mom's necklaces. The designer is Amy Kahn Russell. I Googled, Amy Kahn Russell lavender freshwater pearl necklace. Nothing like it. I found a few freshwater pearl necklaces designed by her that were similar selling from $198 to $280. I have a confession to make. I came across the necklace in a tote of Mom's jewelry that I was going to take apart. It's a little "over the top" for my taste (it's also a very heavy piece). I think the small pearls and the faceted stones (I think they are quartz) would make beautiful necklaces (individually). I don't know what to think of the "spikes". Here's what her website has to say about her: Incorporating natural minerals, pearls, and fossils with semi-precious stones, Amy's designs become wearable pieces of art. Amy Kahn Russell jewelry is internationally sold in museum shops, art galleries, prestigious boutiques, catalogs, and specialty stores. My Price $100. Update. Aug 8, 2023. I found...
