A November Harvest of Fall Colors

by on ‎11-13-2013 02:02 PM

Hi everyone:


Well, it’s QVC time again for me!  October ended as briskly as it started.  I traveled extensively in October and November, visiting stores which carry my jewelry, doing shows, and preparing for the Holiday selling season.


I started in Canton, Ohio, where a long time account threw a wonderful party with over 200 delightful guests, to showcase the new collections.  The exciting evening ended with a raffle drawing for one of my necklaces.

Then it was off to Colorado for more events.  As I passed through Denver and Vail, it was strange to see people already skiing.  But it was a beautiful drive of mountain vistas, deer, elk, glacial lakes, and horses.

I returned to New York for several days to spend the run up to Halloween with my grandchildren.

I also had the opportunity to have lunch with Jill Bauer who came to New York for a day of girl talk, lunch, and shopping.

November 9th was my annual holiday party at my Flagship store on Madison Avenue, which was well represented by my wonderful QVC customers, many of whom are regulars at this event and whom I look forward to seeing every year. As always, I try to give the attendees a glimpse of some future products that I will be bringing to QVC in the next few months.  If you know someone who attended the party, maybe they will share with you some of the surprises that I have in store for you.

The November shows will be all about fall colors – featuring amongst others: Madeira citrine (the November birthstone) in a ring and earrings (J288227).


Citrine





 


We will also be featuring a Ruby doublet suite of a necklace, station chain, cuff, and earring; an iolite cuff (J289221), ring, and hoop; a frosted blue topaz enhancer, earring (J288229), and ring (J288503); and new to my collection, a golden sunstone ring, enhancer, and earring which reminds me of the sunshine gleaming gold off of the Rocky Mountains.


Sunstone 


The sterling and 14k clad golden sunstone earring (J287385) is a real stunner, featuring a bezel set faceted golden sunstone surrounded by a twisted rope border.  It has an open loop above and a tapered top with bead set diamonique center which extends around the side of the earrings.  They are in pierced or clips with omega backs.


Earrings 


There is an accompanying ring (J287386) of yellow gold clad faceted golden sunstone surrounded by quilted berge texture and prong set diamonique.


Ring



The Ruby doublet suite has an earring (J288362), cuff (J287910), necklace (J288361), and station chain which is elegant and perfect for blue jeans and black tie and everything in between.

So please tune in on November 15th from 1 - 3am and 8 - 10pm, and November 16th from 4 - 6am, 1 - 3pm, and 8 - 10pm for these and many more goodies.


After my shows, on Monday I am off to Moscow for the opening party of my new shop in the Tsum Department Store.  So many more photographs of Russia and new ideas should be forthcoming from this trip.  I will include some of the photographs of Moscow in my December blog.  So watch for me in December for great new products, new shows, and pictures from this Moscow trip!
