I find her designs getting farther and farther away from true South Western design and more into Popular/ modern design. It is becoming more and more like any other jewelry line. A bit too trendy and less traditional. It is a shame as there is already tons of lines that are trendy.

I like the fact her line is made here, supporting American jobs. I've been somewhat confused by the changing brand ID but I did buy the last TSV bypass bracelet and matching ring.

CP's current line is not really meant to be SW -- that's why she's brought the American West line. I agree with depglass -- love that both of these line are made in the US and are great quality -- especially compared to other designers.

I have a couple of her Southwestern pieces, but I love her new designs also. She's one very talented lady!!!! And as mentioned, her jewelry….MADE IN THE USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was thinking the new abalone pieces look like Bixby.
All the designers are starting to look the same to me.

I personally love Carolyn's new design/direction that is not "southwest" -- all the southwest lovers can continue to purchase from her American West line. Now there is something for everyone.
I admire her creativity, the quality of her pieces and MADE IN THE USA.

So true - I think Q wanted her to go in the direction she has taken in order to join their "premier" designers - ala - Ripka, Bixby, Dawkins, etc. -- her true love is SW and thankfully she has not forgotten the collectors (like me and Jug) who love that line - at least 85% of my collection is SW - but - she has definitely drawn in the people who don't like that kind of jewelry so it makes sense - now there is something for everyone!!

Kachina - easy for you to say there are plenty of places to get SW/N.A designs lol! By me, there's not so much . . and it'll always be in style for me. I think I'd go crazy if I lived by you . . so much temptation.

I'm not that crazy about her new line...I also thought the dragonfly items looked alot like BB. Not that there is anything wrong w/that..I believe you should stick w/what got you to the party...The big plus here is "made in America"..Another plus is I don't like the new direction, so I don't buy. LOL..However I really miss her beaded bracelets w/that wonderful toggle. I have several of them in my collection. I even have doubles of some.
