Charla Rines on SHQ

Looks like Charla is back on SHQ as a host, she has been on a few times lately as a rep for diamond jewelry. But today she is listed as a host for the Isomers shows.

Thanks for the notice. I'll look for her. I really liked her and wished I'd bought a lot more of the great jewelry pieces at that time. Her charm braclet and the charms were lovely. Weighty gold.

I bought an 18K martellato bangle, lotsa gram weight on sale for about $200. Where's a time machine now?

It is always nice to see the familiar faces!😊👍 I must admit she had fallen off my radar. I am glad she is back, and hope she enjoys her tenure!😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

I remember when Charla used to host most of the Isomer shows and Galerie De Bijoux shows.

I always enjoyed Charla and even followed her for awhile after she left. I bet she's not so irreverent this time around.

@Kachina624 Yes, I wonder too.

Thanks for the heads up!

I always liked her; she was fun and very knowledgeable about everything she sold.

I wish her the best of luck..

It was announced over a week ago and they have a bizarre promo with her and Manuela. It made no sense and someone off camera had to explain it to the host today. And then she explained it to the viewers.

They already did 2 hours together earlier today, Charla was a bit frantic but she tried to be very informative. She said today she is 65. Manuela said she is thrilled to have her back.

She's been pulled so tight she looks scary. Never could watch her for very long, her voice, pounding that stupid ruler and her constant UHs.

Who was the gal who used to model a ring (e.g.) and say, 'Go big or stay home.' She was so funny. Blonde and very talkative. That's all I remember. I guess she started on Value Vision.

She was hilarious sometimes. I'll have to go look at her. I remember during the ShopNBC days, she purchased a 18K charm bracelet and loaded it down with as much charms as she could. She then weighed it and it was almost 100 grams. She asked the vendor if he could solder them on! My favorite was when she "modeled" a lamb jacket. She was so funny on that catwalk.

My huge omega 18K 38 grams was about $400.00 something like that.

@Judaline That may have been Karen Connelly, she was wild and fun just like Charla, lol.

Yes! Thank you. I wonder whatever became of her. I saw her once on that jewelry channel but it was very short lived-never saw her again.

Karen Connelley still does some remote hosting on Shop LC, usually when I see her it is some beauty product she is selling.

Charla will be back with Manuela late tonight, Mar 16

I'd like to watch a Charla/Sonia Bitton (Gallerie De Bijoux) show. I remember thinking she owned quite a few of Sonia's diamond flex rings and flex bracelets back in the day, lol. Now that I don't get the channel I'll check the program guide to see if there are any shows coming up so I can watch online.

Do you have Comcast, they did drop it few months ago, but now they have it as Ideal TV on Channel 1098.

I know, the sales were incredible. I enjoyed "stalking" the saleprices, too!
