The countdown is here - only 2 more days until my next shows on Saturday, August 29, the first from 11am EST to 12noon EST, and the second from 9pm EST to 12midnight EST. I am very excited about these shows, which will feature brand new designs. My morning show will be 1 hour with Jane Tracey, and my evening show will be 3 hours with Lisa Robertson. Both shows will be filled with great shopping, great friends and great fun!
As we all start to look towards fall fashion, one of the pieces that I am most excited about is my new oval multi gemstone bangle featuring large rich colored gemstones including Ginger Quartz, Champagne Quartz, Smokey Quartz and Amethyst. It is one of my favorite designs and will definitely become a staple for your fall wardrobe with its warm hues. And, if you're looking to make a statement, have fun stacking this bangle with others in your collection.
I also think that you will love my new Mother-of Pearl pieces, because they are classic with a twist, and of course, neutral, so they will coordinate with everything in your closet. For all of you that love my heart detailing, these pieces are you. The necklace is a heart pendant on a black cord, which gives it a fun, casual feel, and the best part is that the heart pendant is on a removable bale, so you can take the heart off of the cord and wear it on another chain. The bangle is nice and wide with very little diamonique, making it easy to wear everyday.
It is funny, because as I write, I find myself saying that all of my new pieces are “my favorites,” and the truth is, they are. These new pieces are incredibly special to me, because I designed most of them last spring while I was vacationing with my family. As most of you know, I have 8 grandchildren, who mean the world to me, and for the kids' spring break, Ron and I took all of them to Florida for some fun in the sun. The trip surpassed my expectations. While Ron spent time playing football on the beach with the boys, the girls and I relaxed by the pool. As I would sketch, my daughters-in-law and granddaughters would poke their heads over my shoulder offering me their opinions. It was such a thrill for me that all of my girls were so excited about my designs and sharing in my passion for jewelry. It was also fascinating to see which designs they liked best - my eldest, Nicole, loved my new Fleur de Lis pieces, while Dani and Jamie thought that the heart rings are, as they have learned to say, a “must-have.” Ron and I still talk about how much fun we had. Did I mention that Ron and I slept for two-full days afterwards?
Besides sports and jewelry, the other hot topic on vacation was Facebook. All of my kids and grandkids told me that I had to start a Facebook profile. I am proud to say that I finally created my Facebook profile last month. So, if any of you are a Facebook member, please friend me! I have both a personal profile and a company profile, and I have posted images from my new collections, as well as exciting promotions and events that I am participating in. What can I say - I am hooked. It has become a great way for me to keep in touch with friends and connect with my clients.
Signing off for now - hope you will tune in on Saturday, August 29, from 11am EST to 12noon EST and from 9pm EST to 12midnight EST.
As always, my best,
Judith
