Yearly Archives: 2023

……………..Today I thought I would post a “SNEAK PEEK” of something new that’s coming…….It’s a FREE FORM CROSS with an EMERALD CUT CUBIC ZIRCONIA stone, prong set, in the center……The stone size is a 7.10mm, and the weight is 2.85 Karats……I sent a sketch to my Italian manufacturer of what I  wanted the cross to look like, and the factory sent me two sketches back. The one on the lower right is for accurate size and dimensions, and the one on the left is more to show the undulating and curvature of the piece……I’m not sure exactly when the cross will be posted, but I know they are in the process of being finished, packaged and shipped. It will be avail with THREE COLOR STONES in either STERLING SILVER  or 18 KARAT GOLD PLATE on STERLING. The cross in the photo is Sterling Silver with a blue stone……….I  think it came out incredible

…………..The CHATELAIN NECKLACE & EARING SET…….J481582….is on a final sale….reduced from $79.52 to $47.71……..It has all FIVE STAR REVIEWS………It’s avail in the YELLOW at the far left…..the COBALT at the far right…..At the top center is the PINK….and below that the AZURE. Each necklace has a companion earring…..which one reviewer says that they make wonderful SCATTER PINS too!…….The spaced beads on the fine chain gives the necklace a very airy look…….It would be a fun necklace to own since each one will go with so many tops.

…………………………..”INDEED”

…………………….QUESTION?…………If you could have become anything other than what you have become…..what would it have been?……If Jac hadn’t become a model she either wanted to be a psychologist or an actress, but life had other plans for her….If I wasn’t a Fashion Designer, which is what I always wanted to be….in my fantasy life I would have wanted to be a singer…….but not just a good singer…….a GREAT SINGER………..I have become a “YOU TUBE” fanatic…..I can sit in front of my computer and listen to all of these incredible voices on “THE VOICE” from around the world, and “AMERICA”S GOT TALENT”. Before I realize it two hours have gone by….sometimes MORE!!! It’s like being at a private concert……This photo is of Jorgen Dahl Moe, the 2022 winner of the voice Norway. His version of the Bruce Springsteen  song “Dancing in the Dark” blew me away. I always liked the song, but the emotion of his version, and the fact that I could actually hear and understand the words brought tears to my eyes…..along with some of the judges…….. Out of all the singers I could have chosen from I would have liked to have a voice like his. It’s always avail to hear on YouTube……Many of the other songs he sings are just as emotional, and wonderful………….I have no idea what he’s now doing in Norway, but I hope he doesn’t get lost among the thousands of other singers in the world…………What would you dream of becoming if you could?

………………….This photo of Jac and Peggy Grosso was recently posted by Peggy on facebook. She didn’t give a date or any information about the photo. It looks like maybe a wedding shower?…….I love Jac’s expression! I wonder what she was thinking! This was during her short hair faze, and she looks like Twiggy!!…….I remember once when Jac was letting her hair grow, and it was quite long for her…..shoulder length….she did a Sonia Rykiel Show…..Sonia wanted all of the models hair crimped to look like her. Jac had fine hair to begin with, and when one of the hair stylists started to crimp her hair with one of the HOT crimping machines they burned her hair right off!!! Jac was hysterical!…She had so many bookings and her hair was destroyed!! The head hair stylist took Jac to a back room and immediately gave her a super short and super fabulous haircut. Jac loved it! She was the only model in the show with short hair….She started a trend because it looked so new…..This was well after Twiggy so Jac sort of brought it back. I remember her coming back to NY not telling anyone about her hair. She walked into my studio, and was very nervous about the reaction she was going to get…..WE ALL LOVED IT and thought she looked fabulous……I think that episode was well after this picture, and she had already gone through her long hair faze, but I could have that wrong. With out a date to this photo I can only guess………I think Jac looks FABULOUS!
