Awaken YOUR Sleeping Beauty!!!

Are you ready? I can’t stand it any longer, I need to share my July 4th Today’s Special Value, right now!  I am so excited about this true American beauty!  Made in America, and featuring turquoise mined in America, this necklace and removable enhancer set celebrates the spirit, style, and natural beauty of America, and the American woman, including the fabulous Deanna! 



This has been a very special design project for me this year.  When you are invited to design something so special that it should be featured as the Today’s Special Value on this most joyous and proud national holiday, it is both an honor and a challenge.  This is the first Sleeping Beauty Turquoise Today’s Special Value I have ever created.  Not that I haven’t wanted to, but it was believed to be impossible, since this turquoise is so rare and sought after.  Add to that my love of statement necklaces, and the challenge became even greater, because now I had visions of not just one stone, but ten!! 


As Bill and I celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary this month, and the 37th anniversary of Relios, our jewelry design and production company,  I am reminded of the importance of relationships, both personally and professionally.  As our business is such an integral part of our lives, it has introduced us to so many special friends; our collectors (you!) and our associates.  One very special business friend is Mario. As a young boy in Italy, Mario developed his father’s intense passion and discernible taste for the finest Mediterranean coral and the most exquisite turquoise in the world, Arizona’s Sleeping Beauty, prized for its sky blue color and exceptional clarity. Through this passion, Mario and his father developed a close relationship with the owner of the mining operation at Sleeping Beauty, and had the first opportunity to purchase the very limited amount of rough material to be discovered over many years.  Today, Mario is very selective when it comes to parting with his precious Sleeping Beauty.  Thank you Mario, Bill and I think you are a true gem!


We are going to have so much fun throughout the 4th of July, discovering the many ways to awaken our own sleeping beauty through natural, colorful gemstones, and sculptural sterling silver, all made in the USA!   Please join me, as we discover new ways to enliven our spirits and our wardrobes through mixing, matching and layering beautiful bursts of color, a jewelry lover’s version of fireworks!!  And when you have a moment, be sure to go to the QVC Community Stories page to share with our wonderful community of collectors which jewelry you reach for to rejuvenate and awaken your sleeping beauty?  Isn’t it wonderful how jewelry really can lift the spirit? Your stories also lift mine!  AND, just by sharing your story, you’ll automatically be entered into our Sweepstakes, with the Grand Prize winner receiving a shopping getaway for two and VIP invitation to join me and your fellow collectors for a weekend of food, fun, friends, prizes and lots of fabulous jewelry at the Gaylord Texan Resort, home of the Carolyn Pollack Jewelry Gallery!! 



Wow, so many reasons to celebrate on what is already one of the most uplifting days of the year!! 


See you soon!!
