I also agree that the prices are goofy and will openly admit once in a while I have purchased jewelry from the catalog provided by my Avon lady. I've known her for years and she is a no pressure sales person and when I had an item break she got me another one. I'm not sure if there is any kind of guarantee or warranty for this line, but it seems like another marketing sales company like Pampered Chef or Scentsy.
I just looked at
www.avon.com and they have jewelry that is even on sale, but most of the stuff I have purchased is a trend item and under $20. It can really vary if I like something but since I have known this woman for years and she isn't a member of an Avon cult it has worked out for me in being a sporadic customer. I also get costume/trend items at minor department stores like Fred Meyer, Kohl's, and Target. Some of my best finds have been off the clearance table at Macy's and have lasted for years even though they were based on a trend.
