You’re welcome. So are you going to get it?

I don't know yet if I'll order the olive. I have the original Pompeii in Cypress that has Russian Gold metal. The olive and brass ox, even though it's a completely different necklace, might be too similar in the metals. I would've enjoyed it in gunmetal. Perhaps the linen but I'm still deciding. I look forward to seeing the reviews plus the on air presentation. 

Btw, I saw the Plum carnival offered "as is" a few days ago. Keep your eyes open, many pieces keep popping up.

I ordered the pink multi glass beads too. Haven't received it yet. Did get the copper tassel necklace today. Very pretty. I haven't seen any comments on any of the new tassel pieces yet. I should start a new thread and review it there. Have you received any of your items yet?

I received my copper ox tassel necklace and yes it is very pretty and will look exceptional with my copper ox bangle.  I think my copper ox jewelry wardrobe is done now.  I also own the etruscan bead set and bracelet in copper ox.

I totally know what you mean about items being too similar, even though different styles. I look forward to the presentation too. However, every time Louis has sneak peeked the natural/linen, I said “I need that”. However I really have to think about how much I have to wear with it. While I have some alabaster pieces and similar colors, it’s not the most flattering on me. I wonder how the natural/linen would look on other colors...

Haven’t received my jewelry items yet. Hopefully soon!

I think the Natural Carnival would look great on Black top.  Think Linen or Ivory or Alabaster color pants/skirts, black top and that necklace. Very chic!

I was immediately draw to the Linen necklace each time I saw it on air. I thought it was a classic coloration. One that'll brighten the face and could be worn with many colors, solids and prints. I feel it'll create a lovely contrast with darker colors and enhance an array of pastels too. Paired with your new pale grey WK long cardi, imo, would be a sophisticated and handsome combo. Add a caramel colored bag with a softly colored scarf tied to a strap, white or gray pant and there's a fabulous look that's easily pulled together. Try to think beyond alabaster. These neutrals can become a wardrobe workhorse accessory. 

Years ago I made a large ebay purchase. Several items were made by the man who designed for the original Dynasty tv series, ala the Carrington women. I failed in my very quick Google search to locate his name. ( @Goldie76 where are you, I need some help) A couple pieces are collar styled, designed in segments in soft white and another in a deeper cream. Boy, do they pop an oufit! Seriously lovely. Same as my JR white braided leather necklace I'd previously mentioned. These lighter shades really do open up a new vista in putting a look together. Next time you're out look for some costume jewelry in these ivory shades and see for yourself. You may be most pleasantly surprised. Tres chic!

Thanks for the suggestions and for encouraging me to look at these other options. 😊

Rochelle, do you mean Nolan Miller? He had a beautiful line for QVC. I own his pave rose pin. It is beautiful. If I'm not mistaken I seem to remembre Louis mentioning he has the same manufacturer, but I could be wrong about that.

@Marlyn1 

No, it's not Nolan Miller. I tried another unsuccessful search. When I purchased the other pieces mentioned I did a Google search which referenced this man's design status with many photos of his pieces. I'll have to dig mine out as I recall them being signed. Exquisitely made btw.
