The Grace Kelly Collection

Caaareful Shopper — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 12:12:45 GMT

We've seen the Jacqueline Kennedy and Elizabeth Taylor jewelry lines, so QVC is now embarking on a new line of jewelry inspired by Grace Kelly.

I don't remember a distinctive Grace Kelly jewelry "look" but I always like to see new jewelry selections.

The 1st show is scheduled for this Friday at 10AM (EST).

I don't need anymore jewlery but I like to watch those types of shows. They usually show photos of the person wearing the particular item they are showing. I find it interesting. It is too bad however that they are always made with synthetic stones. I did purchase a couple of Jackie Kennedy's pieces in the past, just to have a small piece of history. Enjoy!

I really don'r need more jewelry, but I'll be watching. Will be nice to see something different. I bought a Jackie triple strand pearl necklace a while ago. Looks great with a black leather dress.

They had a Grace Kelly collection show scheduled for sometime last spring. There was never a single item listed in the system (still nothing), the show never happened, and nobody knew anything about it.

@Kachina624 I remember that now! Thank you for the memory nudge.

I did see just one preview ad QVC is running for the show, but only caught it at a glance, so I'm not sure what kind of jewelry it is.

@Caaareful ShopperThey ran promos last time too. That's why everyone was looking for the show. I never knew Grace Kelly had a noteworthy jewelry collection.

@Kachina624 Neither did I. Nothing distinctive comes to mind. I wonder if they will focus on her Hollywood style versus her royal style -- not that I have any clue about either. I guess we shall see...

I would love to see a replica of the big pearl bracelet with large charm that she wore in the opening scene of "Rear Window."

I could see probably a replica of her engagement ring and maybe pieces she wore as a princess. I always liked the Jacqueline Kennedy jewelry shows, so I'm looking forward to this one. I love hearing the stories.

Looking forward to seeing what this jewelry line offers. Just checked still nothing loaded in the system. Does anyone know who the vendor representative will be? The stories associated with the jewelry are what grabs my interest. The pearl bracelet worn in 'Rear Window' sounds interesting.

@Caaareful Shopper, @LindaSal, @StylishLady, @Kachina624, @IlliniGirl88 @Kindaglitzy,

I did a quick search on the internet and discovered there's quite a lot out there about Grace Kelly's jewelry. Interestingly enough, The Shopping Channel in Canada already has been selling the jewelry.

"Clarion-Pell brings you the style and sophistication of Princess Grace of Monaco. From her early Movie Star years, to the Royal jewels of one of the world's most glamorous princesses."

And, if you go to their site and view the videos... Philip Katz is the vendor representative! eta: It appears Clarion-Pell and Camrose & Kross are the same company, or associates.

dooBdoo: Thanks for the information.

Thank you @dooBdoo!!

@dooBdoo Thank you for that! I was lucky enough to visit Monaco a few years ago and learned a bit about her. She was a lovely princess and died so young. We visited the cathedral where she and Prince Rainier are entombed. Very special.

Go to the Smithsonian website and you will see the pieces they will offer here.

If Philip Katz is the vendor rep, I'll definitely check out the show.

You're welcome, @LindaSal, @Caaareful Shopper, and @Kindaglitzy! How lucky you are, @LindaSal, to have visited there. I'm sure it was lovely. Her life story is so bittersweet.

Thanks for posting this, @GSPgirl! The pieces there are fascinating to see, too. It will be interesting to see if QVC offers the same items from The Shopping Channel and the Smithsonian shop, a mixture, or even some pieces unique to the Q.

@fff11, I hope he does appear on QVC's shows. I always enjoy the information he provides about the history and background of each piece.

Thanks for the information. I went to the Canada Shopping channel and enjoyed looking at the merchandise. Very pretty. I do hope there are more earrings, though. In the workplace, I am not allowed to wear necklaces or bracelets, as they could get caught in the sorting machinery at the library. I can wear earrings, though--so I was hoping for a nice selection.

I do like Phillip as a presenter. Will definitely have to record the show as I have to be at work when i starts here. (8:00 am)

Phil Katz was just on TSC - The Shopping Channel about 10 days ago selling the Princess Grace jewelry collection.

Clarion-Pell and Camrose & Kross are owned by the same company. I think you'll find that Grace had a very extensive jewelry collection and she wore her own jewelry in the movies she was in.

The jewelry line is done with permission of the Princess Grace foundation. This line has been selling on TSC in Canada for more than a year. I own the duplicate triple strand faux pearl necklace with the removable clips that was part of the honeymoon suite of Majorcan jewelry. The original set was all faux pearls too. It does have a difficult clasp in the back and I worry that it can come undone easily.

If you loved listening to stories about Jackie Kennedy and her jewelry you'll love hearing about Grace Kelly's jewelry too!
