Knowing how much fun I have over at Bidz.com, a friend of mine decided to direct me to the Silver Jewelry Club Online Store. Did I call her a friend? More of an enabler, isn’t she? Yeesh.
At any rate, what this site is, is a place that sells jewelry. Ok, what they do is to have one item they are offering at a time. This item will stay up on the screen for like 10 – 15 minutes (it varies) or until they run out. There is a little clock above the item counting down to the end of the offer.
Below the wonderful picture of the item is a detailed description, and how much the item retails for at their brick-n-mortar store. As a for instance, right this minute what is being offered is:
Round Cut Amethyst/Citrine Dangling Earrings Sterling Silver
Gemstone
Total carat weight 1.00
Genuine Amethyst, 2 pc Round Cut 4.00mm
Genuine Citrine,2 pc, Round Cut 4.00mm
vibrant color & clean clarity
Earrings
pure sterling silver with .925 stamp
1.08 grams
unique dangling style with prong setting
includes a gift pouch
Retail value on this pair of earrings is $59.99. Your price is zero, zip, zilch. Well, that’s how they advertise it at any rate. You see, you will pay the postage and handling, but that is only $5.99. What a deal, eh? Actually, yes. It is. I simply adore my little $5.99 Amethyst earrings from here (retail value $69.99).
There is nothing to navigate here. The front page is it. The item you see is the item up for sale. Period. Once you click to buy it, then you pay for it with any number of the usual Credit Cards and Paypal, which is billed immediately. Within minutes of coughing up my $5.99 I had a confirmation in my email box. About a week later I had my earrings, packaged quite nicely complete with the cute little soft bag to keep them in.
You will not find really expensive items here. This is always going to be Sterling Silver based with lesser gems like the Amethysts, citrines, sapphires, etc… I’ve never seen any diamonds offered. Still. The listed retail does match up with similar items at various places. $5.99 is a definite score.
They do have a link where you can track your order history just in case you forget. They also have an affiliate program you can join if you have your own website. Hmmm maybe I’ll just toss one up for this… heh. Well ok, I clicked the affiliate link to sign up and got a grey page, then refreshed it and was brought back the current offer, which happens to be a really cool ring:
Genuine Swiss Blue Topaz 0.50 carat
Trillion cut 5.00mm
vibrant color & clean clarity
Ring
pure sterling silver with .925 stamp
2.20 grams
approximate finger size 5 (available only in this size) contemporary design with v-prong setting
includes a gift pouch
Value: $69.99
I can see this review is gonna cost me 9 bucks to write. oops! Hang on a sec…. ok. heh.
Currently this $5.99 offer is only for US citizens, but they do have an International section also with the shipping running $8.99 per piece. There is nothing that you have to actually sign up for, but you do have the option to receive email promotions if you desire. I do not, and true to their word that they will not sell your info, I have received no extra spam since I started frequenting this site about 2 years ago.
Ok here is the affiliate deal. Finally got it to load. This may be my own fault due to me not clearing out my spyware last night as usual.. at any rate, you get 50 cents every time someone comes from your link and buys something. Their minimum payout is $20. So you need 40 people to click and buy. With a deal like this, that is not unrealistic.
I do highly recommend the Silver Jewelry Club, although it’s not actually a club. They’re killer deals, the items are just as described, and they ship promptly. Go for it. Five stars.
