Yearly Archives: 2018

…………………………The HARP NECKLACE, J357131, is a design I did at Anne Klein, and again comes from archives. It was beautiful then, and it’s beautiful NOW! I find it quite amazing that I rarely, if ever, find any of the hundreds of pieces that were done for the AK Couture Collection on ebay or any other outlet where jewelry is sold. I have seen jewelry that claims to be Anne Klein Couture, but it’s a false claim. Only jewelry with small oval metal tags that say Anne Klein Couture are the real McCoy.

……………………….The Harp necklace starts at the top with an open link chain, which is then connected to a series of graduated barrel shaped beads, all in Russian Gold. Please notice this entire necklace is strung with CHAIN….From the barrel beads are EIGHT SPACED mixed shape and color beads. Emerald, Fuchsia, Amber, Blue, Red and tiny gold beads are dispersed on the chain. The OVAL RUSSIAN GOLD piece is next, a thing of beauty, and makes this necklace a very UNIQUE piece……There are FIVE GOLD CHAINS interspersed with more color beads including “TIGER EYE” strung within the oval giving it a “Harp” look.  All the chains and beads are held in place at the top and bottom of the oval with different shape and color beads….This is easily seen in the photo….The workmanship on the oval alone demands the price of the entire necklace….This is a GEM! The Oval measures approx. 2 and 3/8ths inches long, and 1 7/8ths inch wide…..Due to the small amount that has been ordered this will surely be an immediate COLLECTORS PIECE……..I love the necklace mixed with the new 72 inch Byzantine necklace. They look spectacular together, and the two together looks like hundreds of dollars. The GOLD HOOP in the photos to the right will be coming in Oct/Nov. and is part of a 4 hoop set. There will be two set avail in different colors…..”THE CLASSICS” and the “EXOTICS”. They will be available in both PIERCED and CLIP and will be GIFT BOXED!……These are ESSENTIAL EARRINGS!…………..The HARP is a piece I know you will enjoy!…………………much Love…………………..Louis

………………………The MALTESE CROSS & COMPANION BEAD NECKLACE SET, J357132, were made for each other! These two pieces are also from my Anne Klein Couture archives. I have always loved Maltese crosses, and they have shown up on most designer collections for decades. It was a favorite of Chanel, and can often be seen on the runways of Dolce & Gabanna, Gucci, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferre…..and many more……..,.This Maltese Cross has the look of the ages…..a piece that may have been worn by a woman at a royal court…….The metal work is very detailed with a fine rope outlining the entire cross. Within the cross is a large round deep Carnelian stone surrounding by twelve seed pearls, and four onyx square stone all faux. The keeper at the top of the cross is a beautiful piece in itself. It is attached to the cross with a beautiful hinge, and within another smaller faux carnelian stone…..The cross is approx. 2 1/2 inches long  not including the keeper, and 2 1/8th inches wide…..The DOUBLE RING CHAIN sets off the piece to perfection……The COMPANION NECKLACE works perfectly with the Maltese cross and will be great with so many more pieces you already own. It is SUPER LIGHT IN WEIGHT! It is made in RESIN beads, not glass, which keeps the weight and price where we needed it to be to keep the price for two pieces reasonable. Some may think of the piece as a religious symbol, but for many it is more decorative than religious. Anne Klein used to wear Maltese crosses herself………………..This is another very unique piece with detailing you rarely see in Fashion jewelry today, unless it’s hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars……………………………….

enjoy………much Love…………..Louis

I want all my Linea Ladies to know I have just been told the new “Byzantine” necklace set, J357120, is selling like HOT CAKES. If you want it or think you want it but are not sure…do not hesitate!……….I’ve warned you. I just don’t want you to be disappointed…..It would also make a spectacular Holiday present!…….much Love……..Louis

It is CONFIRMED…..I will be on QVC1, this Sat. starting at 7:00am. Leah usually hosts this show, but Jayne Brown will take her place. I am scripted 3rd in the show with the new WHISPER KNIT DRESS, and then again # 12 with the new SHADOW FLORAL PRINT blouse. I hope you can all watch……………..much Love……………..Louis

…………………………The NOVELTY BEAD NECKLACE SET, J357120, has been posted on the Linea jewelry sight and is avail to order……I call this my BYZANTINE NECKLACE and EARRING SET, because it is a continuation of my Byzantine group from a few years ago. For some reason the people in charge of such things said I could no longer call it Byzantine because  you may be confused with the Byzantine link bracelet and necklace….OK, I certainly think you can distinguish between the two. I guess they don’t realize that Byzantine was an era not a specific style…….This new addition to the BYZANTINE group is 72 inches long, so it can be worn many different ways….doubled, tripled and quadrupled. The necklace is made with an open link chain. There are beads spaced  through out. Gold beads, color fluted and round beads, and enameled  ribbed oval beads decorate the chain. The companion earring has a lever back and a single round topaz bead with a deep red enameled rib bead. The Russian Gold gives the necklace the look of antiquity……..This is a wonderful necklace to wear on its’ own or mixed with other necklaces. On the right center photo, I have the necklace with the new HARP necklace J357131, coming soon. Below that photo I have two of the Byzantine necklaces for a lush rich look….I love to layer jewelry………This light weight necklace works on absolutely everything! Be sure to try it on your prints too……………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………………Louis
