jaa

Welcome to Jewelry-Aholics Anonymous! To those who are addicted to all things that glitter! Do you have a weakness to gold? Silver? Pearls? Or ALL of it? Do you have so much jewelry that you have to hide most of it? Or so much jewelry that you have to hide jewelry boxes full of it??? Just remember "Too much is never enough" to a die hard JA!!! I dont think there is a program or a cure for this addiction, I hope we can have some fun, share some buying tips ect!

You need to sign up on Topix, they want a name you will use, a valid email address (you will have to confirm your email address), password, they want your birthdate (thats stupid, we are all 21!!) male/female. It took several tries before I got a name that wasnt already taken.

I hope every one of you reading coupon share will post here. I have a feeling that there are a LOT of readers on coupon share that read without posting. So come on post with us, have some fun!!!

I've never done this before, I hope that I can provide a link to coupon share that will take you straight to this topic!! Ok here we go!!!

BTW, I dont live in Harleton Texas I dont even know where that is! Im in Louisiana. So if you want to be anonymous you WILL be because I'm in Texas.

Hi, Neon Blue Apatite! This looks like a nice place to chat. So nice of you to take the time and effort to set this up. Thank you! I like the name you chose, too -- Jewelry-Aholics Anonymous. It certainly fits us all!

FANTASTIC!!! I was worried about the link I posted at coupon share wouldnt work. You found it! I see where three more coupons codes were posted, 15, and a 20%!!!! So Im checking out the pre-owned items that they are listing today. Have you been reading/posting over there very long?

Hi! It's me, A.R.! Yes, your link worked great. I don't know why topix thinks I'm in Diamond Bar, CA. I'm not, but I guess I'll stay more anonymous!

I only found couponshare about 2 months or so ago and only recently started posting there, to say how great everyone is for sharing and to say thank you. I found it through Google, when I was desperately searching for a 15% or 20% off coupon, since JTV had not sent me any coupons in a long time. I really am being sincere when I say that the people who post at couponshare are wonderful, SO very nice, especially compared to some other discussion boards where people are nasty.

I also found a site called www dot myJaco dot com that has JTV coupons in the comments section. The myJaco main JTV page has ancient coupons, but a few people seem to provide current coupons in the comments section. The people at myJaco are very nice too.

It was so great of Glor and Cheryl to share their new coupons. I will probably use the 20% off coupon -- hate to not use that one. I checked and JTV did not send me a thing. With all the money I've spent with them since the beginning of the year, they should be sending me codes every week!

So here at JAA, will we be helping each other to quit the JTV habit or encouraging more buying?!!! I'm just joking!

P.S. I love your first paragraph in the introduction to this JAA site. You have a gift with words. I was really laughing reading it. It reminds me of what my hubby said to me once (or twice) when remarking about the extent of my jewelry collection: "You can't wear it all!"

I just read where someone on coupon share tried to use the new 20% coupon code and they said it showed it was invalid. I didnt get an email from them with this code, but I dont always know where they are getting the codes, just glad they are sharing them!! I havent tried that code or the 15% code yet. I have a pendant I would like to get but i was going to watch the daily pre-owned additions to see if something was added and get them together with one of those codes.

Im not sure how to put the link to here on coupon share.

Hi, everyone! It's me, Nancy. FINALLY found you! Don't know what the issue was before, but the link you gave wouldn't work for me. I won't be around much again til Monday, my husband and I are headed to Daytona Beach for a car thing. We have a 1970 Cougar Eliminator (muscle car.) Meeting up with other Cougar club members. This is more of a social club and the cars are an excuse to get together and have fun.

I"m trying to finish up a rose quartz and sterling silver bracelet this morning to wear. At some point I have to put jelly on my PB&J cookies, finish packing, and oh, yeah, go to work and finish up a full page, full color ad for The Villages Oktoberfest ad that runs Sunday. I've got til noon, when I'm leaving for the weekend.

I found JTV two years ago, first purchase was a (disappointing) 100 carat parcel of mixed gemstones. When did y'all discover them? And it was months later that I discovered discount and free shipping codes and began using them. My main purchases have been single gemstones, I'm trying to teach myself prong setting. I've already bought $!00 worth of sterling silver settings - rings and pendants.

Hey Nancy!!! Glad you found us! I found JTV in Jan or Feb of this year. Last year I FINALLY was able to loose a lot of weight that I had gained 7 or 8 years ago. And, feeling good about myself I went into shopping mode big time!:))) When I would buy clothing it would soon be too large so I started buying accessories. I LOVE bags/purses! And drooled over high dollar bags online until Grinch would say something everytime he saw me handbag shopping. In December I found my NEW TRUE LOVE on Ebay! The neon apatite ring in the photo. I had never heard of neon apatite and started reading about it and I did win the auction of 4 rings, one being the neon apatite ring. After that I watched Gemstv (until after I got my first order! ha!), HSN and then I found JTV and JTV auctions!!! I found coupon share doing a google search for jewelry or JTV forums. Im so glad I did! Nice people and the savings is WOW!!! How can you beat a markdown purchased with a 20%off coupon!!!! It almost justifies my jewelry addiction! LOL

Me, too! I might as well use my name...

Congrats on the weight loss. I'm back on the treadmill as of Monday. Been too busy the past two weeks. I've only lost 5 lbs in a month, but it's something.

I never thought much of jewelry til about five years ago. I started out stringing beads, then discovered gemstone beads, then hit my first bead show and katie bar the door. Now I work in sterling silver, gold fill and gem quality gemstone beads. I love it. I do art for a living (graphic design) for an ad agency but this is my real creative outlet. I used to do needlepoint, but it takes too long for the results. Jewelry can be quick depending on the size and complexity of the piece. Oh, got my bracelet finished so I can wear it this weekend!

LOVE your ring. I love apatite, too, the color is amazing. I have some apatite beads I need to do something with, too.

Don't get GemsTV here, seen HSN, but love the coupon codes and free shipping with JTV.

Oh, and I'm from Clermont, Florida. About a half-hour west of Orlando. NOT Seminole, wherever that is. I work in Leesburg, not Eustis, which is another half-hour north of here. I wonder how it decides where you're posting from.

So have any of you ever had a shop on Etsy, or bought from Etsy? That's my dream. I've read the "Quit Your Day Job" articles on there and OH I'd love to make jewelry full time and be able to support myself (OK, bring in what I'm making now as a salary). Give up the 40 minute drive each way to work and the office politics. Amazing that it still exists in an office of FOUR!

Hi everyone!! I finally found you all. I'm Donna on the couponcode.com place. Today I'm getting the ametrine ring...Of course my husband is HOME.

Have you tried the new site JTV is making? They no longer have ring sizes on the left. So you have to hunt and check to see if the ring you want is in your size. ARGH!

Let us know how that ring turns out. I love ametrine and am anxious to see how that lazer cutting works for you. I HATE having to hunt for ring sizes!!! Bad 'improvement' move on JTV. How do you get to the new site, what's the address?

Heeey Donna!!!! Glad you made it girl!!!!!
Cant you send him to the grocery store?? LOL
Would love it if you would give us a link to the new site JTV is making!!!

Ive had to do all sorts of things lately during mail time. I got 8 envelopes the other day and he was outside when the mail lady ran. I went to the mailbox in the golfcart and made sure i had a large bucket in the floor board. I just dumped the envelopes in the bucket and drove the cart over to where he was at and gave him his mail. Said a few words and drove the cart to the house. I hate to be sneaky! Worse I hate to hear him complain!!!!

You can use DISCYR312D for 99 cent shipping for trying the new JTV site. http://beta.jtv.com/on/demandware.store/Sites...

I hate to be sneaky too. However, my husband has a new hobby where he is spending money. So we both need to stop!

Thanks for the link, Donna. They're pushing the automatic ordering business quite a bit on air as well. I wonder if they're cutting customer service personnel to cut their overhead.

I'm outta here til late Sunday. I'm so happy to see this forum started up, Nan, thanks so much for doing it and allowing us to yak for longer than 140 characters (CouponShare.)

Have a terrific weekend, y'all, and GOOD SHOPPING!

:)

testing to see if my posts are going through

ok they are
are they taking orders on the new site. Its not taking my password. Was just going to check to see if that 20% dis code works on this new site.

The new ametrine ring is beautiful, but my husband was NOT pleased I bought yet another ring!! It is beautifully cut and a blend of yellow and purple hues as you turn your hand. I will photograph and put in a review for it later on today. We had a Lucy/Desi moment over the ring. He doesn't believe me when I tell him I'll stop buying stuff from JTV.

Hey I'm not from Inola, OK but it shows that. Weird.

And I can't make a purchase from the new site either.

We usually have Peg/Al moments here over jewelry purchases. Actually, I dont want to stop buying I would like to just slow down. One to two purchases a month. Its the auction that gets me into trouble. Usually those 1 hour auctions. I can usually talk myself out of an online purchase if I dont have o gosh 10 minutues to make up my mind! bid, dont bid, bid, dont bid!

Donna they have a LOT more items in the pre-owned search on that new site than they do on the regular site. I have two or three things I have been wanting that arent marked down. Ive been waiting and Ive saved that last 20% off coupon.

I wonder how long that new site has been set up?
