Hello Everyone!
What an awesome community you have here! I found this forum while surfing the internet and I just got here and love it already!
Here is a little about me and my business:
Lia sophia really is an amazing opportunity! It has literally changed my life. I was "formerly" an RN with a bachelors degree from Penn State in Nursing and 2nd degree in Business Admin. I was a director for 27 physician practices (that was every doctor in our tiny county) for a large university medical center. I had a great salary and was good at my job. Unfortunately, my job was destroying my marriage. I was working ridiculous hours in office and at home and didn't realize the stress and anxiety was not only taking a toll on me physically but apparently wasn't exactly a nice person to be around! As my husband so eloquently put it: You come home so stressed out you aren't even nice to your dog. So, after several long talks and a few shouting matches, he finally made me see that Xanax and coffee wasn't exactly a healthy lifestyle. (Aside from the fact he was tired of listening to me go on and on about EVERYTHING!)

I had joined lia sophia a year earlier just to get the discount. I had never actually intended to actively work this business. Well, I knew if I left the Med Ctr I had 2 choices in this rural community - 1. Nursing Home or 2. Home Health. I didn't want to do either so I decided I'd take a break from healthcare & focus on lia sophia for 6 months and see what happened. Well 9months later I had thriving business, had promoted to a Division Manager, had over 80 women on my Nationwide team and had actually replaced my previous salary and my husbands!? (YES ---MAKING MORE SELLING LIA SOPHIA THAN AS A REGISTERED NURSE!?)

Needless to say, here I am just 2 years later with a NATIONWIDE team of over 225, I am very proud to say that I have promoted again just 9 months after getting to Division Level to a REGION MANAGER!

I love the freedom working from my home affords, it is awesome sharing the opportunity with women (and men) nationwide and being able to connect others with thier dreams!

I work diligently with my local Chamber of Commerce, the DSA and DSWA to restore the integrity of our profession and to reach out to others with home based businesses to educate and raise awareness of the many available programs out there to enhance and promote our businesses. I also serve as a community educator providing seminars to teach the public how to recognize scams and pyramid schemes.

I am proud to be a direct sales professional!

Welcome to THB from another Jeweler =o)

Your collections look nice. I see mainly costume jewelry with some gold pieces am I right? Are most of your pieces silver or stainless steel? I could not tell from you catalogs.
What karat is the Clear Crystal Buckle Bracelet White Enamel with Clear Cut Crystals set in Gold. Hinged Magnetic Closure. in the ibiza iii collection?

also wondering about your replacement gaurantee. would it cover chipped or lost Peridot? and would your replace the whole ring or just set new stones?

Your site looks nice, and I wish you well.
Good Luck!

Awwwww - Thanks for the welcome!

To answer your questions about our line:

Our jewelry is high end fashion jewelry with gold, some sterling ( we tend to steer clear due to tarnish and softness of the metal being prone to scratches etc) and we use rhodium (platinum family metal) very heavily. We use no plastic or glass ---it's all natural gemstomes, cut crystals, mother or pearl, abalone etc. . . we have just a few men's pieces done in stainless steel but 99% of the "silver" colored jewelry is actually rhodium over gold or stainless.

Our company offers an lifetime replacement guarantee so it a stone were to chip, clasp break or other accident (I actually washed and driend a tennis bracelet once) it is replaced for the lifetime you own the piece! They do not send out replacement pieces ---they replace the entire piece for you.

YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE! You found our red carpet collections! These are generating quite the buzz in Hollywood! Our latest collection - Petra debut at the MTV Music awards a few ago!

The peridot bracelet you mention is actually part of our Rue Royal III collection (Ibiza lines have been discontinued) and is over 8 carats austrian cut crystals and with white enamal and 14k gold. It is quite stunning!

All pieces are backed by the lifetime guarantee and eligible for our customer save plan of buy 2 at regular price and get 1 half price ---the most expensive piece is half off! SO technically you could buy both rings and get the bracelt 1/2 price ---and you'd basically be getting all 3 pieces for noy much more than the bracelet as a stand alone purchase!

Do tell what type of jewelry you represent! I love seeing other collections and such! My all time favorites after lia sophia are David Yurman and Brighton Designs!
