Blogs

Sorry that I haven't written sooner but I have been traveling and just got back to the office. I have read every one of your comments and have already forwarded many of them on to the folks that can make things happen. There are several very important issues to be addressed and in my next blog, specific concerns and questions will be focused on. I also spent time on the Judith Ripka Forum and will be discussing many of your dialogues. Thank you all for continuing to write to me and I feel that I am really getting to know many of you. I also wanted to pass along my gratitude for your best wishes on the new addition to the family, Hudson Bess.


The highlight of last week was the time I spent with Paola Valentini. I hope you are all familiar with her incredible line of jewelry. For many years, she has designed for some of the most famous names in the jewelry industry around the world. Growing up in Italy and moving to Paris at an early age, Paola is a true visionary and one of the most talented designers I have ever worked with. The World Gold Council has named her one of the leading designers in trend and design initiatives. This is quite an honor and shows how influential she is in the jewelry world. Her designs are classic but translated through a modern artist's eye. They will never go out of style and will keep you on the cutting edge. Watch the video to learn more about Paola.




Attached are videos of conversations I was lucky to have with Paola. Please let me know what you think. I realize that her jewelry is not for everyone but I think many of her pieces could be great additions to your jewelry collection. There are so many dimensions to her designs; bold, clean and high polished, new textures that reflect the light in interesting ways, and her love of stones. We also spoke about her wonderful flower collection and her inspirations.



















Please let me know any issues or subjects that you would like to see addressed in future blogs. I really appreciate your input.


Take care, Peyton


PS: Soon, I will have a very special announcement for all you Judith Ripka lovers and know how excited you will be!
