………………………………COPPER……………..is a relatively new color for my Linea Jewelry collection, and I love adding a new metal color to the group. The plating color is actually called COPPER OX, Ox being short for oxidation. What oxidation does for the color is give it an antique look. It starts off like a bright shiny new copper penny, and then it is aged. The shine you see is only the flash! Do not expect a shiny finish. For some reason, without the flash, all the pictures looked gold, so I was forced to use it…….With all of the autumnal colors coming for fall, COPPER will be a wonderful accent………In some of the pictures I have layered two for a more dramatic effect……… I know there are many of you who don’t own anything in this copper color. I think the ETRUSCAN GROUP would be the perfect place to start…………………………………..enjoy………..much Love……………………Louis

Hello everyone……..I have some news to share with all of you and I’m afraid it’s a bit disappointing……..None of the Green Patina pieces will be delivered. I am extremely disappointed in this news. It seems that this particular plating and finishing requires just the right weather conditions for it to come out correctly. Unfortunately, it has been non stop rain and extremely humid in this region of China where these pieces are being made. The factory has tried over and over again to plate the beads and the fish, but it has not come out right. My buyers were even willing to take these pieces in later, but the factory can’t guarantee when this will happen…….Since my initial samples came out perfectly, we had no idea this would be an issue until production began. This is truly artisan workmanship, and we were totally unaware of the delicacy of this process……I have been showing the Green Patina pieces for months now , but little did I know the problems we were to face….I know you are as disappointed as I am, but there is much to choose from, and the MINT MIST SPIRIT NECKLACE will work on any outfit you had planned for the Green Patina……..I have not given up on the Green Patina color, but I may be standing alone facing a storm on this one. I was hoping that we could bring it in later in the year when the conditions were right for the process to be done, but that would mean QVC holding back money for months, and I doubt they would be willing to do that. Again, I am very sorry to disappoint, but this was something that is totally out of anyone’s control. If there is any news going forward I will let you all know……………………………………………………..

…………………………..Color, Color, Color…………there is no better way to create a colorful piece of jewelry than a 72″ long FACETED GLASS BEAD NECKLACE!…..J350149 is the style number…..Many of you own a similar necklace that I did a few years ago. It was also 72 inches, and it was made out of the same glass faceted beads. It was avail. in Black Jet, Clear Crystal, Gunmetal and Chocolate…….The major difference between that necklace and this is the CONSTRUCTION. The previous necklace was “strung” with silk string, but there were some problems with the cord, due to the weight of the necklace, separating from the closing [nobody makes 72 inch necklaces]……..This time we have linked the beads together with metal rings, as you can see in the photos. This makes the entire piece much STRONGER……………….What came first….the chicken or the egg? In this case it was a beautiful new WINTER FLORAL PRINT that I fashioned into a beautiful simple blouse. It’s the print that is the focal point. It’s coming in Sept., but you will be able to get the necklace on my up coming jewelry show on Aug. 25, QVC2, at 6:00pm……I selected the color of the beads to match the colors in the floral. I chose to link the beads together with gunmetal links so nothing would detract from the color of the beads. Unfortunately, I could not capture the beauty of all of the beads, but I think you get the idea…..The colors will work with many many things you already own……The WK TUNIC SWEATER above is a new style that will also be avail. in Sept. The color is PARADISE RED…………This is the necklace that will get much attention especially from the little ones who are captivated by colorful sparkly things………………………………………………………..

………………………………..The ALABASTER MULTI color necklace was created to work with the new Alabaster WINTER FLORAL blouse, which is shown above with the Dark Umber Super Ponte Pant and the new Blackberry WK pant. Of course it works beautifully with the alabaster slim pant too. You have to look at the beads closely as some are two tone……They are really fascinating!…………This necklace is linked together with chocolate links in keeping with the color of the beads……………………………….enjoy…………………much Love………………………….Louis

……………………………………….BLACKBERRY MULTI……………..is the third and last color this necklace will be coming in. Again, the colors were chosen to coordinate with the colors in the print. The necklace and the print look wonderful with my new WN TN with the wide ribbed border [remember that one], and the new WK long skirt….all in BLACKBERRY! I do have to mention that the red beads came out much brighter and redder in the photos than they actually are. Actually, all of the colors are a little brighter then they are………They do coordinate with the print perfectly, and again, will work with so many things you own…………..enjoy……………………….much Love…………………….Louis
