I loved her and her excess.

Over the years, I bought a few of her more restrained pieces of jewelry, but she was another one whom I enjoyed watching present.

Her line might have had a lot of faux glitter, but she seemed genuinely nice.

Another jewelry vendor not featured prominently any longer on HSN is R. J. Graziano. I do not watch that channel often, so has he been on but I've I missed him? Or, has he, too, departed from HSN? His jewelry once had a more classic but still vibrant look that worked well in an office setting. Joan's, not so much. She was for evenings out.

@SharkE Right, that's just an excuse to switch over to Y&R.

sad news :-( always tried to watch her shows...was tempted to yet never ordered anything. Joan is a really sweet lady in person (and on TV!) . i met her outside her Westhampton store where she sells fine jewelry. just so warm and friendly.

Would prefer to see that Heidi chick leave instead of Joan.

@golding76 RJ is still around, he was on one of Colleen's fashion edits a few weeks ago.

If she was booted because of age, I don't think Iris will be far behind

I'm sorry to see Joan go. She struck me as down to earth and fun.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

mimosa,

I just checked HSN, and I hate to say it, but Graziano's work has dropped in taste and attractiveness, IMO. That thought has dogged me for several years now as I have not bought from his line in over five years, I believe.

Noticed that he no longer has an in-the-glass-case presence at Lord & Taylor either. He probably doesn't have high sales anymore and has been dropped. There are new names in the glass cases that are unfamiliar to me.
