Carolyn Pollock is an attractive person but she was almost unrecognizable on her American West jewelry show yesterday. I am a fan of aging gracefully myself.

Really? I had no problem recognizing her at all. I thought she looked lovely last night. I admire her. She is a successful businesswoman

Her hair used to much blonder. I think this is why she looks different.

I thought she looked lovely. I like her hair color, makes her look younger. I like the American west jewelry and the fact that it's made in the USA!

Of course her appearance is really none of my business but I couldn't help but notice that her face looked much different. Btw, I was not remarking on her products or the fact that she is a sharp businesswoman. I was just being shallow!

Is this the same jewelry line as she had previously? For some reason, I seem to remember something different.

This weekend's shows are not Carolyn Pollack's designs. Those shows are called Carolyn Pollack Sterling Jewelry. Her line premiered on International Women's Day in 2003 called Sincerely Southwest Jewelry by Carolyn Pollack and in 2010 it was changed to Sincerely, Carolyn Pollack before arriving at its current name.

The shows this weekend are QVC's whole collection of jewelry made in the American West, some of which Carolyn represents on-air. In May 1988 the show premiered as Western Jewelry and for some time a weekly show aired Fridays at 1am ET. In the 1990s QVC changed the name to Southwestern Jewelry and this period is when two multi-hour events were held each year. In June, and in October for the Balloon Fiesta. In 2013 QVC changed the name of the program to American West Jewelry. Next May marks the 30th Anniversary of the program. Carolyn Pollack has appeared if not from the beginning then very early in the program's run but not always straight through a show- she only represented certain items that she helped bring to QVC, not the whole collection.

Carolyn will be back with her own designs on the August 2nd Designer Jewelry Studio event.

Carolyn Pollock has gained a lot of weight. That's what I see different.

I missed the show, but checked a couple of videos. If the host was Rick, the only difference in Carolyn is shorter hair. Otherwise, she looks great & natural!

Carolyn seems so smart and nice!

I'd love to be able to have coffee with her!!

It was probably the shorter hair.

We don't see CP as often as we used to and she is aging, we all are. I don't know how old she is, but I think she looks great and I also prefer a natural look. Those who can afford it are not fooling anyone but themselves with all the botox and ****** and tucks.

I have many of her earlier pieces and they are just stunning. I don't like brass with silver.

LOVE LOVE LOVE CAROLYN POLLACK

I adore Carolyn Pollack & her jewelry lines. I always try to watch her shows live & record them to watch over & over again.

She is just so darn personable & cute in addition to being very talented. Her partnership with her husband Bill has been a blessing to many people, both to those of us who like their jewelry & those who are employed at every step of the way.

I got to visit her shop in Santa Fe while on a road trip through New Mexico a couple of years ago. Boy, was that a treat. Picked up several pieces at wonderful prices & got to just luxuriate in the American West vibe. The funny thing is that growing up in Texas during the 50's & 60's before air conditioning, I always hated "Western" culture .... too hot, too dry, too dusty, too hickish, too horsey ..... But Carolyn has put the glam in the Southwest for me, and now I really enjoy her stories of Southwestern lore & style.

As you well know, we like things big in Texas ..... big bling, big hair ..... just wish I had a bigger budget so I could pile on more Native Pearls & Sleeping Beauty turquoise. My dream is a big expensive squash blossom necklace. I'd throw my own Buckeroo Ball for that!

I tell myself that when I buy a piece of Carolyn's jewelry, I'm investing in silver LOL!!!! You know all the investment gurus who advertise are saying "Buy silver! It's selling at 40% of its all time high & it is going to go back up!" When the zombie apocalypse occurs, I am going to pile on all my treasures & head for the hills. I can always barter away one silver bead at a time for whatever we need. Hey, isn't that what the Native Americans did with their silver conchas? Put 'em on a belt & used 'em as money!

As for how Carolyn looks, I think she is an inspiration. She is always fresh & adorable & wears the most interesting things. I wish the Q would bring a line of Carolyn Pollack clothes & footwear to go with her jewelry .... fringed leather jackets, midi/maxi skirts, kicky cowgirl boots with fun leather designs & colors, concha belts & soft "squaw boots" with conchas & fringe, beautiful "heiress" shirts and skirts, senora/senorita lace, colorful heavily embroidered "Mexican dresses", Native American blanket jackets, chamois soft shirts ..... So we can put the Glamma in Grandma!

As for me, I am not aging gracefully myself, so I might as well have some fun & make some memories. We can't take it with us, so we'd better enjoy it while we're here LOL!!!!!

Besides the hair style, which looks great, the heaviness around her eyes is gone, perhaps a lower eye lift. Good for her! I enjoy her very much as a host, did not buy anything recently as prices don't seem much better than waiting until my next trip out west. Also agree on disliking brass...I am allergic and prefer sterling.

I was just thinking how thin her legs are and wearing a short dress way above the knees is not flattering..wish ladies in their 50s and up would learn short short dresses are not flattering..period..

This post above is from back in July. I too thought she looked like she had gained weight but on the Labor Day show it sure looked as if she'd lost it. IMO she looked much slimmer, although I only saw her sitting down. Still...I did notice it.
