………………………DESERT SAND…………is a beautiful “translucent stone”, meaning you can see through it. It is neither “transparent” nor is it “opaque”. Translucent is somewhere in between. We are calling it, for QVC purposes Desert Sand, but between us it really is the color of AMBER. I’m not permitted to give it this name because technically it is NOT amber, and to call it that would be misleading, but it is the color of amber or delicious HONEY. You can see that the Desert Sand stones are very unique in that they are translucent, as already mentioned, but they have very distinguished MARKINGS and VEINING. This gives the stone character……….The IMPORTANT picture here is the one at the lower right with the four stones. I purposely took pictures of four different stones so you can see the variation of the stone. They are all very very similar, but there is a unique difference with each one…..Truly, I know you will be delighted with your special stone…………..The two upper corner photos I have the necklace with the Desert Sand Crepe Gauze separates. The bottom right is the Alabaster WK S/S sweater, and the bottom left is the new Winter White WK sleeveless TN…………My next comment is very important, and applies to each of the stone colors! YOU MUST PLAY WITH THEM AGAINST EVERYTHING and EVERY COLOR YOU OWN. You will be surprise how each combination gives the stones new life. If you only wear them tonal you will be doing a disservice to the necklace, and limit its’ wearing unnecessarily………Browns, grey, pecan and purple are just a few colors to try with your new Desert Sand pendant………………………enjoy……………………….much Love……………………Louis

……………………………MINT MIST………………..is a beautiful fragile color, and yes, spiritual……. I would have actually preferred the name to be Aqua Mist or Celadon, but Mint Mist will have to do……..Once again you can see the photo of the FOUR STONES, and their variations. Again, the stones for this pendant were hand selected so we tried to keep them as close in color as possible……The photos above show the Mint Mist with both the AQUA MIST crepe Gauze stand collar swing tunic, and the Celadon Crepe Gauze separates…I also have it with the Heather Charcoal Grey WK TN just to illustrate how wonderful it will look against contrast colors. Do not be afraid to MIX your colors! I would love it against violet, fuchsia, brown, tan. ivory, lime, olive, red etc. etc. etc…..The advantage I have designing jewelry is to perfectly coordinate the pieces to the ready to wear! This is how every designer works who has the good fortune to have accessory lines bearing their names. For almost as long as I have been designing, I have been able to design the accessories to go with the clothes. Having a vision of how an outfit  should look from head to toe is every designer’s dream, and for twenty years I was able to have those visions come true at Anne Klein. As my jewelry line gets more and more popular, I am able to be much more creative with it, and my vision is becoming clearer and more exciting…………I hope you enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoy designing it!……………………………….much Love…………………….Louis

………………………The very first thing I thought when I looked at the raw stones was there is a STORM going on within the stone…..hence the name………….GREY STORM……..The stone in the photos looks translucent, but it is not…….It is actually OPAQUE…..There are large flat facets in each of the color stones so light reflects beautifully off each one, but they are not overdone to distract from the naturalness of the stone…The tiny stones on the chain are Black Jet and a Smokey Grey……Out of all the colors, I would say the Grey Storm has the most variation in markings, but each is spectacular as you can see by the photos above. All you need to do to coordinate this pendant with everything you own is to wear a black or grey bottom, and all color tops will work. I have it with the white WING COLLAR shirt and my Heather Grey WK pencil skirt, and the same skirt with my Heather Grey WK TN….An all Winter White outfit with this Grey Storm pendant will look fabulous too…….Simple, Classy, Chic, Elegant, Uncomplicated, Timeless…………this is a Thoroughbred monied look……………………..enjoy……………………….much Love…………………..Louis

………………………………The FACETED WIRE CUFF, J335214 is back in ALL COLORS…..If you missed it the first time around this is your chance to get it while it’s avail. Perhaps there is a color you were sorry you didn’t get or maybe you would like to do the “cuff on each wrist” look……or maybe you’re just thinking ahead and want to pick up some early Christmas or Holiday gifts…….The quantity is limited so don’t wait to long…………………..enjoy……………………….much Love………………………Louis

I keep getting asked where do I get my berets……from all over, and from where ever I see them, and I mean all over….in the strangest stores in NYC that just happen to have them in the window. I did make my last purchase on e bay. The company is from Poland and is called……Jedrzejko………They also have a direct web site, but I do not recommend buying direct. They have wonderful colors and the size is just right. The quality is good……I did buy a large quantity from them through e bay. They were paid for, but I didn’t get delivered. I had to go through e bay to get my order…. e bay stands behind you. They would have paid me what the company owed, but as I said with e bay pressuring them they got the order to me. I don’t know why this happened as I have ordered from them before without a problem. If you are ordering just a few there should be no problem, but I wouldn’t buy just one or two from them……there are others you can go to for basic colors. They are good for special colors.
