Yes I saw that watch and thought it was adorable..so unique and pretty!! Joan has the best jewelry..very high quality.

My very first purchase from the Q was earrings from Joan Rivers. I still wear them today and they look perfect. i am talking probably 15 years. They are still my go to earrings!

I have bought much more expensive items from here and Shop Q that have discolored and tarnished after a couple of years. I bought a rose gold embraced over sterling silver pearl necklace from shop Q just a little over a year ago that is junk now..despite keeping it in the little baggie with the anti-tarnish slip. It turned blackish.

Joans lisa inspired gold tone drop earrings are also a staple in my wardrobe..they look perfect after 2 years of wearing. It may be ""costume"" jewelry but it is an incredible value that looks ""real"" and will wear forever.

Hi Needsmorecowbell. What a great and true story about Joan. I have a lot of her watches and all of them are excellent quality. Have some of her long necklaces too and they do wear like iron and don't turn colors. I've never had a problem either with her fashion jewelry. Her pins are amazing. I haven't lost a stone at all out of her pins. I agree, her jewelry is an incredible value. Her prices are spot on.

I wore her ladybug watch today and my hair dresser who is a guy commented on it. When I told him it was a Joan Rivers watch he knew I got it from the Q. He watches the Q also, lol. Out of all the watches I have from Joan this ladybug watch is my favorite. It's a great layering pieces to Joan's ladybug bracelet I have. They look great together. Watch looks great even just wearing it alone. This was a great buy for such an adorable watch. I'm glad I got it. Enjoy the weekend and make it a safe one.

Um, Blingie, you may want to check out a new ring by Samuel B. It is a peacock ring with multiple gemstones. Not the most sparkly, but possibly the most unique ring I have seen in a very long time. The item number is 136-852. The ring is a sculpture for the hand. And no, it is not a ring that you would wear to work, but you would wear it any time out with friends or anywhere else you might want to make an impression. Wearing it is like taking a walk on the wild side! You almost want to go on a safari!

Joan never makes her bracelets and watches large enough for the 8 inch wrist...

O M G I just happened to have Shop's website up and looked up that peacock ring Jersey Born and wow! that ring is awesome!! I didn't order it because I want to see the huge possibly tanzanite rock Micheal is bringing in his March TTV, but if I don't get that the peacock ring will be comig home to me. I would wear it to work because there's a lot of my patients that come in and ask what ring I have on for the day lol. They always check that out. They were impressed with the last ring I wore and that was Micheal's full panther/drusy ring. Even the doc commented on that one. I wrote down the item number for future reference. Thanks for posting about it. That ring is so pretty and love the detail on it. It's a ring that will be ordered I'm sure. Just have to wait to see what Micheal is bringing in March first. Thanks.

Glad you like it, too, Bling. It is a masterwork of silver and gemstones that is unique, yet works perfectly with any John Hardy bracelets. It is an attention grabber by design, as is the peacock.

I about seven years ago, I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend, and it was held at a home out in the countryside in Pennsylvania. When all the guests were hanging out on the deck of the home, a wild male peacock, who was a frequent visitor to that property, walked very close to the deck, and he kept flaring his tail feathers and turning around for all of us to admire. He put on a show for us, actually. It was truly something wonderful to see. Peacocks are shockingly beautiful animals.

Wow, what sight that must have been. I sure would have loved to have seen that JerseyBorn. Peacocks are beautiful birds. I've only seen one in person in my lifetime and that was in a zoo. What a fabulous day you had that day. I would have loved to have been there to see that. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story with me. That ring is surely on my list to purchase. It will make a great middle finger ring. I may order it sooner then I think because Michael is getting a bit too expensive now to order from. That peacock ring is just very unique to pass up right now.

All I can say is that you won't regret the peacock ring purchase. I dare you to tell me I am wrong about that. LOL.

As this is a thread about Joan Rivers, I wanted to share the video of her Lovebirds pin for item J277517. Joan expresses something that I believe, too, in that video. The variety of birds, their gorgeous yet very different color variations, very different body shapes, and their different dances and rituals to attract a mate, are just so fascinating and so incredible. I think birds, and all other animals, too, are proof of the existence of a divine creator. When I helped my son do a poster of all the different animal types, I couldn't help but marvel at the immense and overwhelming variety of different animals in the world. From the echinoderms to the arthropods, to the mammals. Just breathtaking.

BlingQueen - ladybugs are my thing. I have a very small wrist. Is the Joan Rivers watch adjustable? If I take it to a watch place can links be removed?

Re: Leave It To Joan Rivers

I used to buy a good bit of Joan Rivers back in the day. I have many enamel pieces and they have worn really well. No chipping. And her "gold" finish stays true. I collect bee jewelry and have a bee and bee hive bracelet from WAY back. Her gold finish actually does look like gold, and that bracelet looks like new after many years of wear.

If I was in a buying mood, I would be all over that ladybug watch!!!!

Hi Bird Mama. There is a whole link you can take out at the closure. That you can do yourself. I just took a closer look at the rest of the links, and there are pins that can be taken out, but a jeweler will have to do that because you need the tiniest of an instrument to get the pins out. The pins are extremely small. I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist and I took out one of the links at the closure and it fits me fine with just a little bit of drape. Hope this helps you.

That pin is just precious. I've seen that before and those love birds are just too cute. I have to say Joan's pins are made well. I've never lost a stone. I also have a few of Nolan Miller's pins, and the quality of them are just as good as Joan's also. My favorite pin from Nolan is his Ballerina pin. I miss him and his jewelry.

My pleasure. The white one is still available and that one is also cute, but I would also hold out for the red. Never seen a white ladybug, lol.
