For me the late '90's thru early 2000 was the apex of jewlery shopping at the Q. Things went downhill from the days when you had to stay up til midnight to get a Bixby TSV because her offerings sold out as soon as they were put up.

Ripka was the same way. Honora had sell outs too; beautiful strands and pieces.

Honora sold the business to Richline Group in May 2013 after 60 years as a family held business. Think that explains all.

Honora sale

I remember those days so well and spent a lot on jewelry! Not the case anymore! I didn't know that Honora was sold. That does explain it all. Thanks!

I never ,ever liked Honora. They always looked cheap to me.

I agree about the colored pearls looking like pop beads. Lol.

They sold out to the fake stuff on QVC. I would venture a guess that their real pearl jewelry is still out there in the high quality jewelry stores.

Go to Kohls or Bed Bath and Beyond.com for Honora.

ALL so called statement necklaces look like junk jewelry to me, especially Graver's and Goldstein's.

The company was sold and like most, it's now on the skids.
