A Day of Vicenza Style!

by on ‎02-20-2012 12:47 PM

I can’t believe a year has already passed since our first 24 hour Vicenza Event! The TSV that will anchor this Tuesday, February 21st event is something that has been in the works for quite some time now. I have to say this may be one of my favorite TSV’s yet since I have been the gold buyer here at QVC. The item is so on trend and super luxurious (without the steep price tag)! Just last month I had the opportunity to go to one of the world’s largest jewelry trade shows in Vicenza and I was in awe at how much beautiful colorful jewelry there was! The hottest things I saw included beautiful bold table cut gemstones, rose gold, high-way design rings, a plethora of pink gemstones and metals,  bright vibrant gemstones-including drusy and labradorite and the list goes on!!!


I am excited to say that my team and I were able to capture all of these hot emerging trends into almost all of our “Fresh from the Fair” advanced orders for the day (which I will be presenting to you on-air). The items are so gorgeous that you won’t be able to pick just one! Labradorite is one of the most intriguing gemstones I have ever seen. This stone was originally named after being discovered in Labrador, Newfoundland and is now mined in many other countries around the world.  Labradorite has a beautiful ‘flash’ to it, so when reflected in the light you can see the plays of the blue and green hues it carries. It is very beautiful and looks exceptionally beautiful when set in a piece of jewelry. I am excited to bring you several new pieces of this gemstone throughout the day! Of course, I cannot forget about drusy either! I worked with our vendors to develop some beautiful new interpretations using this gemstone that I know you will love!


Please be sure to tune in for our DAY OF VICENZA on Tuesday 2/21 at midnight ---you will see some very exciting 14K, 18K, Sterling Silver pieces all made in Italy!!!! If you tune in you will also get to see some new exciting items from Tito Pedrini, Honora, EternaGold, Paola Valentini, and the Veronese collection!!! You can even check out a preview of a few of the amazing pieces on QVC.com right now. I hope you are just as excited for this day as I am!


Ciao!
