…………………..WHEN????….was the last time you checked out the LINEA FASHION JEWELRY inventory on my jewelry site on QVC….There are lots of FABULOUS pieces still avail, but every day the list gets smaller and smaller………Two of my all time favorites are the ELEPHANT WALK pendant necklace,,,J488259……and the TURQUOISE TABLET NECKLACE & EARRING SET…..J488255….They are incredible worn together…..but are equally as fabulous worn separately…..They will make any simple outfit look FABULOUS…The TURQUOISE TABLET NECKLACE is the perfect necklace to mix with other necklaces you may already own!….The inventory on these pieces is VERY low, so don’t think too long!….HERE TODAY……GONE TOMORROW!…….I don’t think it’s any secret that elephants are my favorite animal on this planet. Everything must be done to save them from poachers!!! When I was in Africa I was overcome by their majesty…..and the babies are the cutest things on Earth!

……………………I have always loved designing jewelry……Whenever I designed clothing I always thought of how the woman would look from head to toe, and jewelry was an integral part of the complete look……A TORSADE style necklace was one of my favorites…..It’s shorter length and multi strands framed the face, and enhanced many necklines…………The Torsade above was made out of COPPER COATED ACRYLIC BEADS……Why acrylic?? Acrylic beads were light weight, and when you are making a necklace with ten or more strands weight become paramount…..Above all else the necklace must be WEARABLE!…..WHY are the beads COATED IN COPPER? The beads are coated in copper first, because copper is the only metal  that adheres to the acrylic, and then the base copper can be recoated in any metal color such as gold  or silver……..The beads in this necklace were organic, smooth nuggets. It eventually came in four colors…..Shiny Silver, Matte Silver, Shiny Gold, and a multi color version…..The combination of Shiny Gold, Shiny Silver, Shiny Gunmetal, and Shiny Burnished Copper enabled the woman to wear it with many different colors and especially tweeds in these colors……I was the first to bring unusual color metals to QVC in a major way. Up until I introduced colors like GUNMETAL, BURNISHED COPPER, GREEN PATINA, and BLACK just to name a few, the only colors being used in fashion jewelry on QVC were silver and gold. I also used 18 Karat gold while the majority were using 12Karat gold…..I also introduced the MATTE versions of colors. I loved to experiment with different colors and finishes to expose women to the possibilities of creating new looks and a personal style.

………………I was always on the search for the newest fabrics and knits I could find…..and this was a great find. The twisted NYLON/ACRYLIC boucle yarn was SPECIAL. It was lustrous, shiny, soft and had great drape….It reminded me of a poodle……The perfect yarn for a cowl tunic sweater.

…………………….The novelty knit almost had a BROADTAIL LAMB EFFECT…..Who wouldn’t love this soft cuddly, black sweater with skinny black jeans, slim suede pants, a long slim tulip skirt or knit leggings!!! I loved the long JET GLASS NECKLACE worn cross body!

……………………..The SILVER COLOR BOUCLE TUNIC SWEATER was simply beautiful………The cowl draped beautifully around the neck framing the face.. It’s shown here with the BLACK TULIP PONTE KNIT MAXI SKIRT.
