Dear Friends,

I want to start this blog off by thanking all of the volunteers who have tirelessly worked to support the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.  If you are one of those volunteers, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.  Hurricane Sandy hit very close to home for me and, unfortunately, many of my friends and family were adversely affected by this powerful storm.  However, it is during tough times like this that you see the true strength and beauty in people.  And, although there has been tremendous devastation, the silver lining has been seeing our friends and neighbors work together to help each other.  Ron and I, along with our family, have spent many hours collecting basic supplies to help displaced families in Coney Island, the Rockaways, and Staten Island.  For those of you who are miles away, please remember that there are many people on the East Coast still struggling and displaced from their homes.  We all need to help each other.

To brighten the season and to further support Sandy relief efforts, I would like to invite all of you to my annual holiday party.  If you have not received an invitation in the mail, please consider this my personal invitation for you to join me and my family for an afternoon of jewelry and joy.  In the spirit of giving back, I will donate a percentage of sales from the event to helping rebuild devastated areas of the East Coast due to Hurricane Sandy.  Please email Emily.doyle@judithripka.com if you would like to attend.

JUDITH RIPKA HOLIDAY LUNCHEON

Where:  Judith Ripka Flagship Store, 777 Madison Avenue (between 66th and 67th Street)

When:  Saturday, November 17th

Time:  12:30—3:30PM

Details:  Lunch will be served

On a lighter note, for those of you who watch ABC’s new show, 666 Park Avenue, did you notice a familiar store in this past week’s episode?  If you guessed that the below location is my Flagship store, then you would be correct!  Yes, it is true, 666 Park Avenue filmed at my New York City store, and best of all, they featured many QVC Diamonique rings on air, as well.

Please tune in to my upcoming shows on Sunday, November 18 from 4 - 6pm EST and 9 - 11pm EST, and again on Monday, November 19 from 1 - 3am EST and 11pm EST to see many new designs.  One piece that I am particularly excited about is my Power Promo on Sunday, the 100-facet Rolling Necklace (J266570).  This necklace was a customer favorite, with many customers asking when it would be back in stock after it sold out during the October visit.  So, it is with great pleasure to debut it again with a new rose gold and yellow gold clad version to add some gold glamour to the holiday season.

With much love and gratitude,

Judith
