Vicenza This Weekend! Get a Sneak-Peek of Lisa's Fair Favorites

by on ‎06-13-2013 05:02 PM

Ciao! I’m back in Italy for Vicenza this weekend. (I love my job!) Join me Friday night at 11pm ET and then tune in Saturday for a full day of some of the most beautiful jewelry you’ve ever seen. Here are a few more “behind-the-scenes” pictures of our meetings at the fair. See anything you like?






It takes a village to choose the exact pieces that are going to be "Fresh from the Fair." Our team works with our Italian partners to find the right pieces.


 



Typical questions for a piece of jewelry:



  • "What is the weight on this?"

  • "What is the labor?"

  • "How many colors does the factory do in this?"

  • "What metals does this factory work in?"

  • "What is the "Lead Time" on this item?"

  • "Can we change the clasp?"


 




What a shock, I’m looking at watches again!


 



Looking at a few options for "Argento Nuovo". The new silver line debuting in the remote.


 



Here's the man of the hour: David Markstein. I love working with this guy. He's so passionate about the business. He also treats me as a partner in the business, which is something I value greatly. 


You can also shop some of the pieces early! And, you may recognize some from my Facebook and blog pictures. See you Friday at 11pm ET.
