Jewelry

[cel49]

Hi Sistas! I'm always organizing trying to make everything user friendly. The last several years I have been getting HSN boxes. I have one designated for AW enhancers, pendants. and another for CP's more contemporary enhancer and pendants. i I also have an HSN box with necklaces that are all set up with the matching enhancer HSN had one that divided in two. So one half has necklace/pendants necklaces that I would wear mostly in the Fall/ Winter, and the other half, Spring/Summer.

I also have an HSN divided box for single bead necklaces and the 36in necklaces that are organized by color. I used these when I want to be creative with pieces that I own.

Finally I have a box that I keep the really special statement necklaces and special enhancers.

Last but not least....HSN recently offered a box for cuffs.

Unfortunately, HSN doesn't have a lot of the original boxes I started buying a few years ago, but they do hold up well and my items never tarnish.

I have been taking some photos because as it was mentioned, one forgets what originally was meant to go with the other, especially the early offerings of CP. I definitely get great ideas from sweet Ali and keep those in mind also! In the early years of my collecting I didn't always get the matching necklace, beads etc. It's only in the last several years and because of this forum that we shared what was available and where and that has really made my collection grow!

I think the coffee table book or some guide is a perfect idea!

Hi all! Just got my Insider with this gorgeous cuff on the back cover. QVC will not let me pre-order yet. I need help with sizing. I wear a 7 1/2" bracelet and do like my bracelets loose. Any info, should I order an average or large? Thanks!

This cuff is very similar to Judith Ripka's cuff in her JR2 line called Arabesque.

I lurrrrrrve the idea of a coffee table book CL! And CP could just do additional volumes every so often. It would be so cool if she discussed the gems used in each piece - history/lore/composition/country of origin/etc. I would also love to see a section including her inspiration for each piece and maybe a discussion about the design process. Oh the possibilities are endless!!! I bet every single person who collects her pieces would buy that book. Great idea CL... Are you going to the Q event next month? If so, you should mention it to Bill!

Hi Stoney! Oh I hear ya... I took to sending all of my purchases to my work, far away from any prying eyes! lol Hey give the bins some thought... they will slip nicely under the bed if need be. hee hee

Well hellooooo there Cel! I bet you have everything organized beautifully! Help, please. My noggin won't let me focus. But I might just decide to give in eventually and buy proper jewelry boxes like you did. That will be an undertaking fo sho! But don't you just love organizing your jewels? I find it so soothing.

Thanks Ali - I really would love a book - it would be so much fun to follow our collections - and I, too, wish she would talk more about her inspirations - like she did about her trip across America - so fabulous to hear about and really, really want to know where the stones are mined - it's so interesting to us collectors --

It doesn't look like I will be able to go on the 21st and I am a little bummed - It is so far that I have not been able to make a decent connection at the Phllly airport with the shuttle company that would take me to the hotel - I live so far away in CA - that it's pretty much an all day trip - I was so looking forward to it and have been corresponding with Alex - he is such a jewel - I really wanted to meet him - then, again, there is the problem of weather in Feb. - I could get stranded in some airport - if I could find someone to travel with it wouldn't be so bad but so far haven't heard that anyone else from Ca is going --really, really wanted to meet the sisters too!!

I am hoping that maybe CP will host something in the summer at her new outlet store in Santa Fe and maybe some of the sisters could go to that one -- I don't know -- I certainly will be there in spirit!!

As soon as anyone gets the order # for the new TSV - let me know - really want to order it in Lapis Small - just picked up an older small Lapis cuff and want to layer it with that one - it will be fab!!!

I still LOVE Carolyn's jewelry, even after all these years...when I wear a piece of hers, I just feel great.

Isn't it wonderful too that it's designed and made i the USA! I feel that there are no bad metals in her jewelry.

So glad that she finally has a TSV!

Hi Carlotta! I feel the same way . . have loved her jewelry for so long, and it always makes me feel wonderful when I wear it! I also agree that it's FAB that it's made in the US!!

Cooking Lady - your idea about a book is GENIUS!! I really hope she hears ya and keeps adding to it, like Ali said. I miss the romance of her collections . . the inspiration and feeling of the pieces.
