“My love of jewelry never wavers. No matter how many pieces I own, it never seems too much. I collect jewelry with an intensity of a fine art collector. And why not? Jewelry is art.” – Joan Rivers

Joan and I often talked about the early days, when we started our jewelry line at QVC. We were both novices and learned the jewelry business together. Neither one of us had a jewelry background but we both shared a passion for it.

Not knowing any better (and NEVER taking no for an answer) we challenged our manufacturers to do things they had never done before. Develop new techniques. Revive methods of manufacturing that had been lost. I’m sure we drove half of Providence, RI nuts.

Our jewelry was always new and exciting. Creating fresh, beautiful designs and delighting our QVC customer. From Russian inspired egg collections to classic, never-out-of-style pearls to recreations of pieces from Joan’s fine jewelry collection.

That very same spirit still excites me today. Every piece in our May 11^th jewelry hour continues that same tradition of design excellence.

Our hand painted bird pin collection (above) is a great example of artistry rarely found in fashion jewelry today. Each delicate pin is hand enameled in a vintage style that Joan and I found years ago in London on Portobello Road. I have not seen this quality of painting in ages!

Statement necklaces continue to play a HUGE role in the well-dressed woman’s wardrobe. One of our latest, the Floral Fantasy 17” Statement Necklace is a whimsical collage of vintage-style brooches that is a work of art.

It wouldn’t be a Joan Rivers all-jewelry hour without a new bee pin! The Rose Garden Hand Painted Bee Pin is just remarkable!! Based on an enameled keepsake box that was part of the collection many years ago, it is a celebration of hand-painted flowers in a trellis pattern…. exquisite.

A hallmark of the Classics Collection has always been our love and appreciation of different styles and eras of design. I adore that we range from delicate hand painted pins to bold, modern watches. Here is our brand new Boyfriend Expansion Watch with Colored Dial. Gold, rose gold and gunmetal choices and fun, pop color dials. It’s my new favorite!
