Dear Friends,

This year, my New Year's resolution is New Year, many more new designs!

Therefore, on my list of New Year’s wishes for each and every one of you for 2013, I have – health, happiness, and beautiful new jewelry!  Over the years, through the ups and downs of life, designing and wearing new jewelry has always put a smile on my face.  Putting on a new cuff or new ring to gaze at has always brightened my day, or even better, receiving a letter from a customer saying that a new piece of jewelry I designed brought her joy or commemorated a special event in her life.

So, when I met with QVC prior to the holidays to talk about the upcoming year, we discussed increasing the number of new designs I create for each show, so that I have the opportunity to bring you many more new designs.  QVC agreed!  They gave the green light for me to debut more NEW pieces in 2013 than I ever have the past, including a surprise that you can only learn about if you tune in to see during my show at 8pm on Sunday.  This is a big surprise you will not want to miss!  Lisa Robertson and I are very excited about this.  I wish I could tell you more, but I made a pinky promise with QVC, and I can’t break it.  You will need to tune in to see what all the buzz is about!

Other new and noteworthy designs include my TSV (J277889), a stack of 4 textured sterling bangles, which will debut at midnight tonight.  What makes this TSV even more special is that it is my first ever bangle TSV.  It's a perfect way to start your bangle collection.  The first thing I put on in the morning is at least 3 or more bangles and cuffs.  It doesn't matter where or what I’m doing, I must have my wrists wrapped in luxury, as I like to say.  It was very important to me to create a new collection of bangles for all of you to collect.  Per usual, the TSV will launch at midnight with the set of 4 (1 all sterling, 1 with 5-cabochons of Peridot, 1 with 3-stations of turquoise, and 1 with 3-stations of Diamonique).  We will offer other bangles to follow and expand the collection throughout the year so that you can create your own look and have an equally beautiful arm of jewels.

For all of you February babies, I am pleased to announce a new addition to the Aurora bracelet assortment, Amethyst (J277218).  I debuted this iconic Couture style last spring in Pink Opal and based upon your response to the style and your request for other colors, I am pleased to offer the second edition of this special cuff in Amethyst, which is the birthstone for February.

Since the launch of the Eclipse Collection on QVC, I have received incredibly positive feedback from customers wanting more color ways.  Therefore, I added a new color to the Eclipse Collection and will debut an Eclipse ring, earring, chain, and enhancer in Turquoise doublet (J279632).  This style is another Couture favorite and will be a Limited Edition offering for QVC.  As it is limited, you may have to act fast when it airs as is may sell out very quickly.  For me, this stone is one of the most special.  There is a unique luminescence that enhances the custom cut facets beyond what I could envision in my own mind.  Framing the stone of the ring in Diamonique makes this piece look and feel like a true piece of luxury fine jewelry.  I hope you enjoy it!

Last, but definitely not least, WATCH out for brand new watch debuts including this new Tank Watch (J278482).  I am very excited to add this beautiful timepiece to my watch collection, as it is the first one I have designed in this silhouette.  I have always loved the clean lines of tank watches and am pleased to offer you this style with my signature design elements.  The watch features a genuine mother-of-pearl face, Swiss part movement, a 3 year limited warranty, and is water resistant up to 3ATM’s.  Wow – say that 3-times fast!  As with all of my watches, this one comes in three sizes and has up to 6 removable links.  But, what I love most about this watch is that I have used the same ionic plating process that was used on the chronograph watch, which is the plating process of choice for all luxury designers and ensures durability and a beautiful consistent color.  Enjoy!

Also, for those of you who cleverly found out that I had a birthday in December, I wanted to THANK YOU for all of your wonderful birthday wishes.  It was one of my sweetest birthdays yet, because Ron and my 3 sons surprised me with a special birthday dinner down south where it was warm that included all of my grandchildren.  I thought that it was just going to be the “adults,” but when I saw the children and heard their laughter, my night was truly complete.  Thank you, guys!  And, one of the sweetest touches was my birthday cake, which definitely “takes the cake” as the best in history.  It was made of real chocolate and is a replica of my iconic jewelry box and included delectable chocolate and candy versions of some of my most celebrated designs.  I hope you enjoy the photo of my cake and personal family photos below from my birthday weekend.

My very special “birthday cake” filled with baubles.  Can you believe it?  I was utterly speechless when I saw this cake – which is hard for me!

Just the girls!

I wanted to include a photo of Allison, Brian’s wife, because she has become such a big part of our QVC family.  Thank you, Allison!

So, PLEASE tune into my February shows for more NEW designs.  My first show airs with Lisa Robertson at 11pm on tonight to 1am on tomorrow, which will include my TSV debut at midnight.  I will be back on air on tomorrow, February 3rd from 11am to 1pm with Rick, 3pm to 4pm with Jane, and coming full circle with Lisa for my final show from 8pm to 10pm.

Thank you again for all of your support, and I look forward to hearing your feedback regarding what other new pieces you want.  Please write in – this is OUR year!

Much love,

Judith
