RIP

I still have his inaugural pearls and matching bracelets and wear them often. I believe that's all I have, not sure.

About 6 months ago I wondered if he was still alive and "googled" him to learn that he was. He was in such poor physical condition during his last Q visits, he could hardly breathe. I supposed it was emphasemia, and that was years ago.

He made fashion jewelry "fashionable" and in doing so made a huge contribution to the industry. I wonder if his line will continue? I'm sure there was a large staff of designers in his later years. He will be missed.

Sad news. I have a number of his pieces, which I wear often and enjoy. He was a genius at making costume jewelry look expensive. I seem to recall that there was a younger man who represented him often, and I think I read that he passed away earlier. Quite a loss.

Aw, I'm sorry to read this. I actually am wearing one of his pieces today...an enameled fish bracelet. I got it years ago, and still love it. May be rest in peace.

KJL was a pioneer in fashion jewelry. so many people wore his designes including THE Mrs. Simpson.

I admired his taste, knowledge and sense of humor. I have his Zebra bangle and wear it very carefully because I love it so much.

So sad, sending Peace and Admiration for him.

Oh boy, sad news at every turn today.

Wasn't it one of his shows, "back in the day," where he came onto the QVC set in a car (mock up...cardboard?) and when he opened the door to get out, the door fell off?

Does anyone else remember that?

In the fun days of QVC.
