My next door neighbor had a Silpada party. Silpada is the name of a jewelry company and in the style of Tupperware offers home parties. Kelly, the repressentative, was very nice and very professional. I bought a pair of earrings that are heavy. She can't bring all her items because there are too many so much of what I bought was via the catalogue. Had I known how heavy the earrings are I wouldn't have bought them.
A Closer View
I decided to have my own party with Kelly. She sent out the invitations. Other than making coffee and having some food I did nothing. She set up her table and took over. There was no hard sell. In fact there was no sell. She was there to answer questions. There is no question the items looked beautiful.
Depending on how much my guests bought depended on how much free jewelry I got. The person having a party gets 30% of the retail sales in free jewelry. I was able to order two pairs of earrings for my daughters, a ring I gave to my daughter, and two bracelets and a necklace for myself.
I ran into problems with three of the items. The ones I bought are sterling silver. Some of the items have brass on them. One of the bracelets has brass interwoven with silver. Within months the brass started to change colors. Within weeks the bracelet with a heart developed black spots on the heart. I called the number Kelly told me to call and there wasn't an enthusiastic "Oh of course we'll send you a new one." I did get a new one, which has been fine, but I think exchanging the first one should have been easier.
The sterling silver necklace which was beautiful broke. I may have worn it twice. If I were handy I could perhaps have fixed it but I'm not and gave it away to someone who does beading. Silpada's jewelry ranges from very inexpensive like $15.00 to hundreds of dollars.
I would not buy from Silpada again. The jewelry looks beautiful but in my experience it doesn't hold up.
