I have several of his pieces from when he was on QVC.  They're beautifully made and he was always such a soft-spoken, polite gentleman when he was on.

 

I hope it works out for him.  There's no reason it shouldn't.

Mug shots and personal life aside, I think he did a great line of silver jewelry. I also have and still wear a few pieces of Sterling Signatures. I’d like to see some of his quality, well priced pieces back on the Q.

I religiously wear one of his bracelets every day, have never taken it off except for surgeries, and it's been on my wrist for years!  It is a solid cuff and very substantial.  I get many compliments and questions about it, especially asking if I had it specially designed or made.  It shows no wear or scratches.  I love it!  Wish i could get another for my other wtist!

Funny you should mention Joseph Esposito.  I am wearing a piece of his jewelry at this very moment that I purchased from QVC probably 25 plus years ago.  It is a sterling silver rolo necklace that snaps together and you can interchange pendants.  One of my favorite pieces.  Mine are not magnetic clasps but they have actual snaps.  You can take it all the way from 18 to 36 inches in length.  I have several of his necklaces and rings.  Loved his designs.

yes, i have both his "snap on" jewelry and his "smart snap" jewelry. i purchased quite a bit of both styles from QVC and have been adding to my collection by purchasing in facebook buy/sell groups and from ebay. great deals to be had.

 

so glad he is coming back with some new items. he has not posted on his facebook page since 2011!

I love his beautiful jewelry and I use to so enjoy all his shows with Jill. They were a good combo and fun to watch. I've picked up lots of Joe's pieces ( that I wanted and missed on Q) on ebay and I especially like his earrings. If he gets back in the jewelry biz I'll sure shop!

I agree that Joe paired with Jill was the perfect combo.  I just loved his original Sterling Signatures line; I never thought to look on eBay for additional pieces, but I’m definitely going to check it out.  I lost interest eventually when Joe started to design for Diamonique, dropping the Sterling Signatures name and using fake gemstones.

 

When I see another FB post that his new website is officially up and running, I will update this thread.

Lots over on ebay (over 1300 pieces) including this nice collection if you want to go $250. This is that famous snap necklace. I have it with the big beautiful MOP pendant and the earrings to match (saw this pair over on ebay buy it now for $20!) and they are a perfect match to the pendant if you have it. Joe made beautiful, quality jewelry!

I have many pieces by Joe ... pendants and bracelets, especially a heavy cut-out design cuff that I wear a lot with my turquoise bracelets.   His interchangeable necklaces/pendants are timeless and so well made ... I haven't found anything else like them out on the market.   

 

He was always paired with Jill and their mutual respect and like for each other was apparent.  Glad he's designing again ...
