I've only purchased jewelry online once... for DH's and mine wedding bands. I got both for about $100 (that included engraving) but I don't think I'd buy anything more than that. I like to see certain things before I buy them. I also don't buy clothing online.
 
Got my husband's wedding band from bluenile. It was a good experience.
 
The majority of my jewlery has come from DH's overseas business trips. I wouldn't be opposed to shopping for jewelry online though....
 
I got one in November, got really excited because it was a guy interested in the business and NOTHING. No replies to my e-mails and he left no phone number. :(
 
I just got my first lead of 2008. She wanted a replacement ring for the flour sugar shaker - $1. I did the replacement for her. Now hopefully she'll do something in the future... She said "I have everything PC has and no room in my kitchen for anything". The last show she went to was "a couple years ago". She said I could add her to my e-newsletter and that she'd go to the website to see the catalog, that I could send her the spring catalog when it comes out and was interested in the outlet. Hopefully, she'll at least refer me...
 
I got my first lead of 2008 last week and she booked a show! YIPEE!!! I think she is also going to be someone that could seriously think about the opportunity...I know, I know..I shouldn't prejudge, but you just get a feeling about someone when you talk to them, and I got it when I talked to her and from her behavior since!
 
Wow...the NERVE of some people. Here are my dumb HO leads:

Another PC consultant trying to see how close a PC person what to her parent's house.

Consultant who does TS and Creative Memories and wanted to do a multivendor event...not a totally bizare request, but this lady has turned out to be somewhat of a fruitcake.

I have had FAR TOO MANY HO leads with either no phone numbers or ones that do not work lately. And therefore, they turn out to be no leads because I send out the info, try to e-mail them and they STILL do not respond. I am getting very tired of this.
