Judith Ripka December TSV

Hi friends. I hope that everyone had a delightful Thanksgiving. This year, I made a fabulous sweet potato pie with marshmallows. For me, November was a busy month. Of course, Thanksgiving was great but I also had a wonderful time at our small holiday get-together. It was such a treat to get to see how you Ripkanize your pieces. My only complaint is that I wish I could have spent the holidays with all of you.


 


A very special surprise guest joined us – my dear friend and QVC host, Lisa Robertson. She joined in on the festivities and wore a gorgeous pair of my heart earrings. It was so good to see her but it was also bittersweet. As many of you know, Lisa is leaving QVC and her last day is December 12th.


 


 


As anyone who has ever watched Lisa can attest to, she is truly one of a kind. Her energy, wit and spirit are unmistakable and I will miss her dearly. While it makes me sad to say goodbye to such a close friend, I will always have unforgettable memories of our time together. Lisa and I will be hosting together one last time on December 11 from 8pm – 10pm. I hope that you’ll tune in and join me in sending off Lisa in true Ripka style.


 


 


We have some especially big shows coming up this week. For the first time ever, I am introducing a tennis bracelet TSV. This is also the first 118-facet tennis bracelet at QVC.


 


Few pieces of jewelry are as timeless and iconic as a tennis bracelet. Elegant and versatile, this classic style is my definition of a staple. I know that you’ll absolutely adore this piece. This bracelet has round, shimmering 118 facet stones with double the brilliance that will make your wrist sparkle.


 


 


You can wear it to your holiday parties and family dinners, but it also looks great with a casual cashmere sweater while you’re out running errands. If you’re lucky enough to head south during the holiday break, wear it to the beach with your cover-up and flip-flops. I designed this so that you can wear it with everything. Anywhere, any time, any place.


 


Available in Sterling and Gold Clad, you can mix the metals and wear them together or pair either one with your favorite watch. I know that you all know how to mix and match and put your own special touch on things. I would call this piece modern with a classic twist – it just looks so ‘today.’ I love this bracelet and I know that it will stay in the front of your jewelry box.


 


The tennis bracelet isn’t the only item to watch for on this week’s shows. We’ll also feature some other great gifting options.


 


My Sterling Silver Gemstone ring is the perfect holiday cocktail ring. I designed this piece in green with mint quartz, in purple with amethyst and also, in brown with smoky quartz.


 


 


 


We will also feature a pair of earrings that you may recognize. We decided to bring back these best selling earrings after requests from all of you. A versatile customer favorite, they are perfect for gifting because each pair comes with heart-shaped garnet charms as well as cushion-shaped smoky quartz charms.




 


Take a break from your holiday preparations and join us on Thursday, December 11 for shows at 12am – 2am, 3am – 5am, 11am – 12pm, 3pm – 4pm, and my last show with Lisa from 8pm – 10pm.


 


XO,
