She is leaving, the brand is not. She sold the company a few years ago.

I saw her on the promo for her show and she seemed ill to me.

I didn't realize that she sold her company.

It's her last personal appearance on air. The jewelry will stay. Her daughter-in-law and reps for the company that run the brand will continue to present the jewelry on QVC and HSN.

Quite often when a "face brand" company is sold, the 'face' must contractually stay on for a certain period of time, while they transition other spokespeople. Which has been happening....it will be sad to see her go, but she has made her millions, and I wish her a happy retirement.

So sad. She was in her prime when I joined QVC. I always enjoyed watching her present her beautiful jewelry. Are they at least giving her a TSV before she leaves?

I bet this will be a big relief for her, not having to act enthused over somebody else's jewelry designs or having to travel to Florida and Pa. She'll probably be dancing on her way home. She had a good run but it's time to retire.

Xcel Brands, the company that owns Judith Ripka also owns Isaac Mizrahi, Halston, and C Wonder. I haven't seen C Wonder on QVC for some time.

Who knows what's happening with Judith, is she ill, wants to retire, or did the company decide she was no longer needed. None of the three reasons would surprise me.

I just read her daughter-in-law will be taking her place on QVC. That could change, too.

Her jewelry was too ornate for my taste, but I know she had a lot of fans. Wishing her well in her retirement

I saw the this yesterday. She doesn't look well at all. I hope she is alright. I wish her a happy retirement. I have to say that her prices went up dramatically. I haven't purchased anything from her line in years.

Is Judith retiring? Perhaps she's still working and designing jewelry, just not appearing on QVC any longer.

While I will miss Judith on air, I do love to watch her daughter-in-law and I believe it is Beth who hopefully will still be presenting as well. Happy retirement, Judith! And please keep this beautiful brand coming and being presented live!

I also noticed this commercial yesterday. Too bad. I like when she was on. I have a lot of her stuff.

Wow, people really don't listen. My bff is a big JR fan of her QVC jewelry but also of expensive line of jewelry. According to her, Judith Ripka will no longer present her jewelry here on QVC. Her daughter in law (or some relative) and/or vendor would present on QVC. I saw Judith on the promos recently and she looks absolutely fabulous. She has definitely put much work and effort and money into being the best she can be. Perhaps she is going to devote her time to her couture line of jewelry now.

Does she even have a couture line anymore? Are there any stores left in New York City? I tend to "leave" a line when it is sold, so I haven't paid a whole lot of attention.

@depglass I don’t think there are any in NYC.

@chrystaltree Isn’t that an insulting way to begin a reply? Who is not listening and to what?
