Welcome jewelry devotees! My name is Peyton Kelley, and I've been working at QVC in jewelry design and development for over nine years. During my time here, I've worked with most of the major designers we showcase. I've also appeared as an on-air guest for a number of artisan-crafted & gemstone shows for the past six years.
Born and raised in Louisiana, I developed an interest in gemology early on in life. I graduated from the Gemological Institute of America and have since accrued more than 30 years of experience exploring nearly every facet of the jewelry industry from buying, manufacturing, and sourcing to marketing, design, and development. One of my favorite things about what I do is the travel opportunities it affords. I lived in Thailand and Hong Kong for four years while working in the sourcing side of the industry, and I've traveled to almost 60 countries searching for and developing ideas to create jewelry and stone programs. This includes visiting cities like Vicenza, Basel, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Las Vegas, and New York City to attend major jewelry shows keeping on top of the latest and hottest trend direction.
I look forward to sharing my experiences and insight with you in the future!
