Hi Everyone!

Happy almost spring! I hope that you are de-thawing and making fun plans for the warmer days ahead.

I have some exciting news —I’m celebrating my 18th Anniversary at QVC! I cannot believe that it’s been eighteen years since I’ve been coming to the Q. I still remember all the times that Ron and I would drive up the New Jersey turnpike and head to West Chester. It’s flown by, but you know what they say — time flies when you’re having fun!

One of the best new additions to QVC has been our new on-air guest, Stacey. She has a great way about her and she adds a fresh perspective to the show. She connects with all of you – thanks for your warm welcome to her! I’m happy that you’ll be getting some time with Stacey as you watch the overnight shows. Between Stacey and Beth, I’m lucky to work with such great people.

I’ve been very busy down here in Palm Beach and my days have been filled with work and lots of meetings. After an especially long day, I love to get dinner at the Palm Beach Grill with Ron and then, we treat ourselves to froyo. I usually get the chocolate and he gets the swirl!

I can’t wait to come up for my shows, but I will admit – it’s hard to leave Florida. Palm Beach has a positive, happy energy and I also love to spend time in Miami, especially in the Design District. I really love the home stores here and I especially love looking at the patterns, fabrics and materials used in the furniture.

I’ve had such great inspiration down here, I’ve been getting to galleries and sketching non-stop.

This month’s TSV, my Gemstone Romance Bangle is a fantastic addition to your collection. We’re also launching a continuity program and if you decide to opt in, you’ll get all three bracelets.

I love this because I think getting surprises in the mail is the best and most fun way to give yourself a treat!  I always enjoy when I forget that I’ve ordered something and then go to the mailbox and find a surprise.

I’ve designed these bracelets with many of my favorite gemstones — Amethyst, Garnet, Blue Topaz and Peridot.

If you want to give your wrist the full Ripka treatment, this is the bracelet for you!

Peridot, Diamonique and Blue Topaz

The Blue Topaz reminds me of the London Blue Topaz stones that I saw when I visited the Smithsonian in London. It’s a rare cut and it looks great in a bangle. I love to layer and these bangles make it so easy. They look great paired with each other, but also look nice next to a silver watch or thicker Ripka cuff.

I can’t wait to see you soon and I’m excited for you to get to spend more time with Stacey. Mark your calendars for Thursday, March 12 from 12AM – 2AM, 3AM – 6AM, 10AM – 12PM, 2PM – 3PM, and 4PM – 7PM.

With love,

Judith
