I loved listening to the stories, too. I was in high school when JFK was killed, and I was at the age that I was fascinated with Jackie's hairdos and fashions even then. I didn't know till yesterday that she had raised her niece and apparently she and her sister stopped speaking.

I mainly wanted to add that I've seen other QVC lines break molds. The ones that come to mind are the Fenton art glass pieces.

I don't watch QVC too much anymore cause I just can't afford to order. I saw this post & was shocked. Can someone tell me what happened? Did the Kennedy family decide to stop or was it QVC? I sure am thankful for the pieces I have. I do have the scarecrow pin, the 3 strand pearls & the paperclip necklace as well as several others. I too loved the stories but just haven't been watching much recently. Thanks to those who respond.

Karen - Philip mentioned that the factory that made the pearls closed and he couldn't imagine the line moving forward without the pearls. I don't know if we will ever know the real reason. I think the line went on longer than anyone expected.

Thanks for the reply. I worry about the future of some of these lines as no one seems to want to study to be a craftsman anymore. Joan Rivers had such beautiful enameling on her jewelry - I haven't bought a piece in years as she seems to be concentrating on clothing which I am not interested in. I loved her hand cream & foot cream, that is gone now too. I will treasure those pieces that I have & be grateful for them because I don't think we will ever see the quality that we used to.

okay, I cried.

Bird, did you go to the other site and pick up the scarecrow pin while it's still available?

I read some reviews here and they say the beads on the feet come off. One lady said the scarecrow lost it's head and she glued it back on.

I have had this pin for several years. It has held up beautifully for me. It actually looks better than this picture.
Altogether, I must have 50 -60 pieces of this jewelry. I was a fan from the beginning. I honestly can't think of a piece that hasn't held up well. And the compliments I get are unreal! For the most part people think this is all real (and if they are rude enough to ask, I am rude enough to not answer). I love all of this and am so very sad it is going....

Hi lolakimono I am very interested in the audrey hepburn collection! It was scheduled once before and cancelled do u have any info when this may be on? Thanks

This is a beautiful and timeless, classic line! I wish they would keep it in stock, yes, I know that there were only so many pieces they could duplicate, but could they not keep the most popular pieces online? I missed the last show..but for both my sons weddings, I wore the three strand pearl bracelet and crystal earrings, they were very elegant and I received many compliments at both weddings on the pieces. They perfectly complimented the pearl and opal necklace loaned to me by my own mother in law! I enjoyed heating his accounts of the history and "how and why" of these Jewelry pieces...I will greatly miss these shows!

Your pieces may be more valuable now that the molds are broken. Do you think?
