I get so excited as March 1st approaches each year at QVC. Our Big Bonanza Silver event is a tradition here, and I'm lucky to have been a part of it for the past 20 years.  Do any of you remember the old fashioned, saloon girl style dresses we used to wear?  What about the way the sets used to look like an old mining town?  Fun to look at...but I have to say, I'm relieved that I don't have to wear a corset and sit on a bale of hay anymore!

This year, the Today's Special Value is actually a throwback to the very first piece of jewelry I ever presented on QVC...a riccio bracelet from Italy.  I love the weight of the bracelet, the fluidity of the piece around your wrist, and the way it sparkles.  Our buyer had a great idea to offer it in 2 widths, so there really is a look for all styles.  I hope you like it...in person, it's just fab!

What's amazing to me, is how far in advance our buyers work to develop product for this day, how they're always trying to push the envelope with new innovations, and how quickly they have to respond to the trends in fashion so that you can have the same look in silver that you're spotting on celebrities. All of that aside, what I really love about the event is the metal itself...silver is my go to, what I love to wear, what I love to buy, what I love to admire.

I love the cool feeling of smooth, shiny silver against my skin, and equally adore the amazing textures that can be woven or cast in silver by artisans from the around the world. 

With all of the blues and greens in fashion this spring, there is no better choice than silver to rock your look! 

I'm really looking forward to sharing some special pieces that I helped the team design during the final hours of the event, 9-midnight on Friday.  These were just a few "sneak peeks" at some of the great products and trends that you will see tomorrow on my show.

I'm proud to say that many of you over the years have told me that you were always a gold person, but that I was the one who got you into your first pieces of sterling silver....let's see if we can't find that perfect new piece for your collection again this season!

Shine on!
