Diamonds and Gold

Hi everyone!  I hope that your April has been lovely so far and that you’ve made time to get outside, see the flowers that are starting to bloom, and enjoy the warmer temperatures.


 


After my recent trip to the Basel International Watch and Jewelry Show, Beth and I headed directly to London and Ron joined us there.  We were walking in Soho near the courtyard of the Ham Yard Hotel when we came across this striking bronze sculpture.  I just loved it and had to touch it and feel it.  It made me smile.  Created by Tony Cragg, one of Britain’s most notable sculptors, it really adds to the ambience of the area.  Whenever I walk through the streets of London, my creativity is always sparked.  The store displays are striking and many of the stores we saw on New Bond Street were filled with interesting and unique architectural details, not to mention the sensational window displays.

For dinner, we ate at one of Andre Balazs’ hot spots – The Chiltern Firehouse.  It’s was a hard reservation to get, but it was definitely worth it.  We had a delicious meal with lots of interesting flavor combinations, and the service was top notch.


 


As many of you know, April is Diamond Month at QVC.  I’ve always considered diamonds to be a true classic and I really wanted to be a part of this month-long event, so I’ve taken my iconic Dew Drop collection and brought it to you in 14k gold with diamonds.

I’m thrilled with the outcome and so happy that I’m able to debut my diamond collection with these styles.  These pieces have a look of easy elegance and will make you feel so confident and polished when you wear them.   


 


There is something eternally timeless and rich about diamonds, especially when paired with gold.  A piece with genuine diamonds is something that you have forever.  The Dew Drop is a timeless shape that will never go out of style.  Both of these pieces are so multi-generational that you’ll pass them down to your daughter or granddaughter.
