“THE GOLD RIVERA MAYA NECKLACE SET”

……………………………..Welcome to sunny MEXICO…………….I named it this to keep the theme going of Cancun and Cozumel, but the truth is the necklace was inspired by a Green Patina HUGE globe chandelier hanging in the main lobby of Cap Juluca, on the island of Anguilla. Every single time we have been there I stare up at it, and admire the grand size of it. I hope it made it through the last hurricane. The original sample of this necklace set…………….J352566………….was in Green Patina like the chandelier, and some of you had seen a sneak peek of it on one of my shows, but alas the factory refused to make it in that color due to the problems…………I have not given up………someday!…………….The necklace and drop earring above is called Goldtone….everything at QVC is called goldtone, even though there are a variety of gold colors…………This is the same color as my ETRUSCAN necklace set and bead bracelet, so you can wear you bracelet with this necklace. As a matter of fact the center section of beads IS the SAME BEAD as in the Etruscan necklace and bracelet………..The necklace is approx. 24 inches long with a 3 inch extender. It starts at the back neck with a chain and a Lobster Claw closing. Then these tiny oblong beads come around to the front where they meet the conical beads like the Etruscan necklace. From those hang the roundish fluted or “pumpkin” shaped beads. The grooves are blackened to give it the look of an antique aged piece. In between each of these “pumpkin” beads are the tiny oblong beads used as separator beads which help the necklace to hang properly……..This is definitely a STATEMENT NECKLACE! Due to the smaller beads used the necklace isn’t heavy. It does have some weight, but normal for this type of necklace………The drop earring has a small ball stud at the top, and a smaller version of the pumpkin bead hangs from a chain……………….This is a season-less piece and will work for you all year long………….It will look just as good on a tank dress as a turtleneck!…………………enjoy……………………much Love………………………Louis

“THE SILVER RIVIERA MAYA NECKLACE SET”

…………………..OLD SILVER is what this looks like. It has a semi gloss finish which gives it that aged patina that I love. This does NOT  have a SHINY SLICK MODERN finish. It is supposed to look old…..Maybe something Frida Kahlo would have worn or maybe Millicent Rogers………….These necklaces are not for everyone, but I know….you will know immediately if this is something you MUST have….because it is your style, and these types of necklaces are very hard to find……They are usually in antique stores, or fine boutiques who deal in these unusual pieces, and are in real silver with a real BIG price tag!…..These should be avail real soon as they are already delivered to QVC…..It’s just a matter of them processing them through the system…………………………………

“THE PINK PIN STRIPE SHIRT”

…………………………If you haven’t noticed it yet you will soon see that PINSTRIPES will be the BIG THING for all different types of shirts! I will be featuring the shirt above, A302602 on March 2nd. It will be on Jane’s Closet at 6:00pm…………..The color above is called…….PINK/WHITE……simple enough……It’s a raspberry pink as opposed to a perfectly pink which is paler. The fabric is a wonderful blend of 60% cotton, 35% nylon and 5% spandex, so it has nice stretch. It is very light weight, and has a SILKY COOL HAND…perfect for the south! This is a woven yarn dye stripe….not printed. It has a banded jewel neckline, and a placket front with tiny dyed to match buttons sewn on with white thread. It’s a cute detail that keeps the theme of the bi color shirt. There are bust darts for shaping, and body darts, front and back, to keep it from getting boxy, but it is by no means fitted. It has an easy shaping……The bottom of the shirt is curved, which looks really nice when worn on the outside……Now for the FUN part!……..The sleeve has a HIGH/LOW TULIP BOTTOM, cut on the BIAS. If you need to shorten this is an easy alteration…..You will notice the stripes are slanted on the band collar, horizontal on the placket, and slanted on the tulip sleeve. The body and top of the sleeve has vertical stripes………You can even wear it OPEN as a summer shirt jacket with a little tank worn under…………….The necklace is new, J352731 is the style number. It should be avail. by show time or very soon after. It is a new BEACH GLASS necklace and earring set. The triangles of color are both clear and frosted resin. The chain is goldtone. It is approx. 36 inches long with a 3 inch extender. The color above is called…..PASSION FRUIT….. You may remember it from my photo collages of Jac on our last trip to Anguilla. She wore it with the white tank over the Bright Pink Boho skirt…..She looked wonderful…..Maybe I can find the picture and post it!………I know you will really enjoy this shirt for a little spring/summer fun…..with a pair of White Capri or cropped pants, or possible some slim white jeans and sandals….you can’t go wrong!……………………….enjoy………………..much Love……………………….Louis
