Hi Everyone,


I'm Ralph Rossini, the President of Honora Pearls. The reason most of you don't know me is because I'm the guy who is always locked up in the back room watching all the phone calls come in so I can pretty much gauging what all of you like, and occasionally don't like. While I am doing this Joel is on air enjoying himself with all of the wonderful hosts we get to work with. The reason I know Joel is enjoying himself so much is because once in a while I get to go on-air in the United States as I am the presenter for Honora in the United Kingdom. In fact, I will be leaving for London on May 7 to celebrate Honora's tenth anniversary on QVCUK, a milestone that we are really proud of. It really is so much fun for Joel and me to share our product with all of you and to receive the incredibly sweet phone calls that put giant smiles on all our faces every single show.


Although I do notice a few differences in the preferences of the U.K. viewers compared to the U.S., the one common denominator that we hear in your phone calls and letters is a love for Honora's quality. The top three percent of the Chinese freshwater cultured pearl harvest is Honora's specialty and it seems that no matter what country you live in, clean and lustrous pearls at an affordable price are enjoyed by all. As Joel has often said, it is a Herculean task to bring you our product and maintain our quality standards but it is truly a labor of love and we hope to continue bringing you fashionable designs, fun colors and interesting shaped pearls for many years to come.


I am so excited to be out of the back room and to get to talk directly with all of you. We were overwhelmed by the response to Joel's first post and look forward to sharing our experiences with QVC and Honora. I will let you know how my trip to the U.K. went and I will be definitely seeing you on-air when Joel and I celebrate our twelfth anniversary in July.
