It’s hard to imagine we are entering into the holiday season already, and that November 15th is my last Carolyn Pollack Sterling Jewelry event of 2012!! I want to thank you all for a wonderful year. It has been so much fun gathering together during our shows, communicating through Facebook, and even meeting up in person for a fun-filled weekend in Texas!
It's heartwarming to know that many of you have formed great friendships through jewelry. You’ve shared your ideas around how you make CP jewelry your own; how you mix, match, and layer pie...

An expert in the field goes on to say “Because there is a limited supply and it’s usually irreplaceable, (high-end) estate jewelry is often called the 'caviar of the jewelry business'”.
We have partnered with one of the foremost experts in the Estate Jewelry world, Simon Rarities of New York, to bring you a select group of jewelry that truly shows the beauty and expertise of jewelers throughout the years.

As I was looking through all of the pictures, I was smiling. It makes me so happy to know that so many women are enjoying the jewelry. I love seeing all of you wear it every day and for every occassion. When I first started designing, my dream was to create wearab...

For many, like me, the wonder of the holidays means spending lots of time wondering what to get people on your gift list. Well this year, I’m determined to get a head start and turn that “wonder-time” into true holiday wonder and maybe some peace of mind. So like a kid in search of holiday candy I peeked at some of the things that the QVC buyers have in store. I found great gift ideas and was pleased to see that even at the holidays, good things still come in three’s; ...

Did I ever tell you how I lucked in to that? I'd only been with QVC for a couple years (and was very new by the company's standards) when QVC decided to try this new concept of doing a show live from Italy. They had no idea if it would be successful or not, as they had no history with international remotes. But the green light was given and the gold merchandising team knew exactly which host they wanted for the show, as she...

The color trends for this season include deep, rich warm and cool hues that can still make a statement even while bundled up in the crisp weather. Colors seen on the fashion runways for fall included yellow, orange, purple, blue and pink to name a few.

On one side, you see the high-end look of drusy quartz, and on the other side, you’re treated to a vision of AAA-quality labradorite. We basically get two necklaces for the price of one. Now that's a great value! This piece truly has it all—I'm loving the rich, swirling gold, I'm mesmerized by the dreamy look of the labradorite, and I'm dazzled by the drusy quartz.

It has been over 2 weeks since I arrived in the United States. I spent this time with my family in New York, celebrating the Jewish holidays, and in between, had some great shows on QVC.

I would normally wait to blog until closer to my QVC appearance, but I wanted to say hello to all of you.
I have been reading the QVC forum, in which there has been much speculation about my health, which is excellent, and my business, which is great. Thank you so much for your concern. It means so much to me to have loyal and loving fans like you.
