Heidi Daus -2012- FAN thread- warranty info, questions and answers, reviews and fun chatter!

Many thanks to all of you wonderful ladies for your warm welcomes (I couldn’t figure out how to reply to each of you individually on this forum). So happy to hear there are other petite girls like me who have found HD pieces that work – I’m going to look into all your recommendations… I’m afraid I’m hopelessly addicted now. [-o< So excited about watching HD tomorrow – I have the day off from work so I get to actually watch her live! Thanks again for being such warm “enablers” for my addiction!

I am very sad to tell you that all of Heidi’s bangles, bracelets and watches will be too big for you, however, if you don’t mind a low drape or a bangle turning easily on your wrist then try the ones that are 6-inches (not too many). Also, you might have luck with the Crystal Hue Persuasion cuff (154-308) in a S/M—-it’s about 5-3/4″. My wrist is 6″ and even I have trouble with most of them. I think I own 8 bracelets (I’ve been collecting since late 2003), I love them they just annoy me if they flip easily.

Thanks, cctexgal! I’ll look forward to valleygirl’s suggestions. Thanks also to you lovely ladies who posted some coupons. I was able to use a coupon to order the Enchanting Glamour necklace! How / where do you get these coupons? The matching earrings were out of stock when I ordered the necklace – but today, magically, just one pair of the earrings appeared on HSN.com so I grabbed it! So exciting – I hope these pieces won’t be toooooo big because they look so gorgeous online / on TV. I have no idea where I’ll be able to wear such stunning jewelry (my workplace is business casual)….. but I’ll have to find a way!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays – wishing you peace, good health and much happiness .. and more sparkles.

cctexgal Does the Beaded Op. bracelet lose an inch because of the thickness of the torsade and the clasp? Like would a 7″ fit more like a 6 ? Thanks for your review of it all and that the clasp is nice and tight. Maybe I will go back and look at the sizing as my lil’ol fat wrist needs a 7’7 1/4 and not a drop less. LOL#-o Chinnu, I believe valleygirl also has a tiny small sized wrist so she can better tell you which small sizes are actually super small and which might be running bigger in the smaller sizes. My dilemma is the opposite. I need one that is more like 7 1/2. Ladies and Gentlemen in the snow battered states I hope all of you are ok and have your electricity and gas still available to you! Shout out to be safe and snug and Merry Christmas this weekend and Happy Hanukkah tonight all! Georgia;-);

Georgiaga; the bracelet fit me just fine; expect it to be heavy cause it is!! My wrist isn’t petite at all, so I think you might want to try it..
Hope you are having a great Holiday! Same for all you Heidi “Oldies but Goodies and all the Newbies” too! Health, wealth and peace to everyone!!

BTW – Heidi has a TS on January 13th and she also has an afternoon show on the 14th with a total of 10-hours between the two days.

Thanks for posting the times!

I received the bangle and rings —-both beautiful. The back of the bangle is partially crystal encrusted and the rest has a pretty braided design carved into the metal. (3 pictures are on Flickr – front, back & side). As far as fit goes it’s too big and sort of annoyingly so. Jury’s out for the moment—I’ll think about it over the holidays and decide after the emotional rush subsides.

I bought the full set, in fact the bangle and two rings (sizes 6 & 7) are OFD. I put a picture of the necklace and earrings on flickr (just search Heidi Daus).

Drooling over Beaded Opulence bracelet and tailored Brilliance necklace which is too much (not$$)for my neck, but I can admire it as a fantastic art piece this showing, that’s for sure! Anyone have a review on Beaded Opulence bracelet? Wondering if it stays clipped together well. Please let us know… Remember about 4 or 5 years ago when Heidi had like 4 -6 pages at the most and after every show all was sold out and there would only be 1-2 pages of merch. left of hers to order? We all used to start withdrawals and get the shakes waiting for the new stuff and all the new pages to come up? I know she is creating more designs per year now and also bringing back best sellers in new colorways, so we can drool over 7-8 pages on any given day now. I know times were better for everyone financially then, too so things flew off the pages left and right and now, maybe the stock takes a while to completely sell out due to less purchasing or people waiting for coupons, sales, etc. Still, it’s so mice to see that Heidi stays true to her artistic self by bringing us new designs so often during the year and always topping herself…it’s good! I may not be able to buy as much as I used to, but it still makes me happy to see her fabulous artistry, even if it’s on someone else and not on me.;-);

Georgiaga; I got the Beaded Opulence necklace and bracelet and if anything they are a big snug in the clasp; meaning once you get it on, it’s not coming off!! I LOVE IT!!
Happy Holidays Heidi-ites!!!

Hi, tooolate, thanks so much for your warm welcome. I’m also 5’3″ and between 119-125, so I’ll definitely look into your recommendations. Many thanks for those!!! I think bracelets will be my biggest challenge as I have a 5 & 1/4″ wrist and Heidi’s “small” size is nowhere near that small. Looking forward to continuing to meet you on this chat! Thanks again.

WELCOME NEWBIES dina3 and Chinnu!

So glad you found us! Georgia;-);

Howdy midas, girl!
40&Fab, Midas, Steel B., tooolate, 20wig, valleyg., glad to see you all here and thanks ladies for the coupon postings again!=d>

Hello, I’m brand new to this forum, and am so excited to have found y’all as I’ve recently “discovered” Heidi Daus’ jewelry and I am now totally addicted! How does this forum work? Do any of you have any recommendations as to which of Heidi’s pieces would suit a petite frame? Most of her jewelry is way too big and overpowering on my small frame. Many thanks in advance for your responses. Welcome, Chinnu!!!! So glad that you discovered the forum – it’s great fun around Heidi show time…..or when items go on clearance……or, when coupons are available – then the discussions realllllly gear up! in between times, it can slow down a mite while we all lay back like over indulged pythons ‘digesting’ our recent purchases…LOL!!! I, too, tend toward the petite side at 5’3″ and 125…some of Heidi’s pieces are absolutely tdf, but I have to pass on and just admire from afar. My favorites and the ones that suit me best (I think) are the medium size pieces…..such as dramatic decollete, my recent ‘enchanting glamour’ (should arrive any day), irresistably yours, speechless splendor, falls foliage….well, you get the idea….sometimes, you have to order, get it home, try it on and make a decision (whoopee, what fun!!)/If it’s not ‘you’, you can always return and try again,,,,eventually, you will understand your fit and the rest will be history….am I right, girls?????????????/ Hey toolate, how are you girlfriend?? Did you pick up anything this time around? I got the champagne pin. Can’t wait to POP it open (both the box and the bottle…lol) Happy Holidays!!!

Midas!!! Fantastic to hear from you!! Several new pieces that I love, but you know me – I’m still making up my mind on the LAST presentation – LOL! Got ‘Enchanting Glamour’ necklace that is on it’s way, an my husband is giving me ‘Speechless Spendor’ necklace for Chrstmas…..unfortunately, still looking for earrings!! It;s just a crime that the piereced always run out before the necklaces….I think it’s ‘dressual’ harrassament!!!! LOL!!

Welcome, Chinnu! I am also 5’3″ tall. Tooolate is correct. When I started with Heidi, I tried everything except the necklaces because I thought they would be too large. My first necklace was bold, but not overpowering. I have a strong presence, so I can pull off larger pieces even though I’m not very tall. However, I have the best luck with Heidi’s necklaces that are single or double strand beads, or multi-strand beads that are smaller in millimeter size. For example, I just got “South Seas Riches” set. The necklace has a huge center station, and 6 rows of small chocolate pearls, but it does not overpower me because the colors used in the piece are monochromatic. Tooolate is correct when she suggests you use trial and error. I got the Belgium Disc, which is really large. I was skeptical when I ordered it and expected to have to send it back, but I wear it and get compliments all the time. I always look for things that appeal to me as soon as I see them, then I decide if the colorway/style will work for me, then I make sure it would be worth the investment. I also mix pieces from different suites to create a more interesting overall look. This is my system, but you will have so much fun as you develop your own system and start to find your own way through the wonderful world of Heidi Daus jewelry. :o)
