Thanks for great March shows... and more Spring picks!

Dear Friends,


A huge thanks to each and every one of you who tuned into the Judith Ripka Collection March shows!  Judith and I, and our entire family (including QVC, of course!), greatly appreciate your support.


We all enjoyed a wonderful show weekend, and what made it even more special was the great response we received to Judie’s TSV, the Sterling or 14K Clad Braided Double Row Bracelet (J279920).



Inspired by Judie’s Gotham bracelet from her 18K couture collection, it embodies both the elegance and edge of New York City.  The combination of classic, sophisticated sterling with the braided look of leather strikes the perfect balance between uptown’s fashion flair and downtown’s street chic.


As I shared on-air, this TSV is and has always been one of my favorite go-to bracelets to wear every day.  I always feel that the look of leather adds a fashion-forward look when I mix and match my jewelry.  Since I heard that some of you are having trouble with the clasp, I wanted to share some helpful tips on how to open and close the bracelet.  It took me a few times to learn how to open and close it with ease, but it's now just a part of my every day routine!  It is sincerely one of the most comfortable bracelets I own, and I think that part of that is due to the fact that the material Judie used for this bracelet   is the same that she used for her couture version.  The material is soft and flexible, and the more you wear it, the more it custom fits to your wrist.



Since the first item on my “Spring Top Picks” represents "everyday elegance," I wanted to switch gears with my second pick connoting a "cocktail couture" look and feel.  To me, “cocktail couture” means a piece of jewelry that feels dressier, as if you would wear it to a cocktail party.  If you want to feel as glamorous as you look, this Spring, indulge yourself in the Sterling Estate Pia Emerald Baguette Ring (J279179).



This piece was also inspired by Judith’s 18K couture collection and features Emerald bagette cut gemstones which is on trend with green being the “Pantone Color of the Year.”  To round out my top 3 “Spring Picks,” I am also  recommending the coordinating Sterling Silver Emerald Estate Pia Cuff (J279473).



 


In addition to the sheer beauty of a rich emerald hue, I have always thought that the color green often acts as a neutral and coordinates with so much that it can also become a good accent color.  Many of my friends have told me that they are drawn to the color green, and I am, too!  And, as Judith shared in her last blog, since Emerald is the birthstone for May, she plans on debuting additional NEW pieces featuring this gemstone.  Therefore, these two Estate-inspired pieces will be great to lay the foundation for your collection.


For find out about more of my Spring Picks, please LIKE me on Facebook!  I will also, of course, be blogging again before Judie and I come back to the Q in May.


Until then, wishing you the start to a beautiful Spring!


Much love,


Allison
