……………..I recently saw these pictures of CHRISTINA AGUILERA on YouTube wearing a gorgeous WIDE GOLD CUFF….She gave a live performance in MEXICO city looking fabulous and very thin!….It’s rumored she used Ozempic to lose all the weight…I say GOOD FOR HER!! What ever works!…Her voice hasn’t lost a thing!!!!..I couldn’t tell if she was wearing one cuff or many stacked up on her wrist….whatever it was… it was fabulous!……It reminded me of my MILLEFILI cuff, J415713 that is available on my Linea Jewelry site at QVC…..It is available in…..18 KARAT GOLD PLATE….STERLING SILVER….and a mixed version of GOLD & SILVER…..all on a BRONZE base…. They are wonderful on their own….but….if you want to reproduce the “CHRISTINA LOOK”….you could stack two of them….and it would be outrageous!…..There is nothing that looks as good to me as a wide cuff!…………..Sing on Christina!

…………………One of my absolute favorite earrings is called…THE FANCY HOOP…..It reminds me of a Chinese Fortune Cookie……This FREE FORM earring…..J414652…..is made in STERLING SILVER, and is also available in STERLING with 18 KARAT GOLD PLATE on my LINEA JEWELRY SITE at QVC……….It is made with the ELECTROFORM process so it is super light weight…..This earring has been reordered FOUR times!….so it has become a very popular earring with many women….It’s UNIQUE……it’s SPECIAL……and I’m sure you will love wearing it……………It’s an attention getter!

……………………The fabulous DOUBLE BREATED A-LINE COAT came in a slew of FAUVIST COLORS! It was made in a CASHMERE and WOOL blend from Italy…….It had my signature GOLD NUGGEST BUTTONS that were plated in real GOLD……The stores had a hell of a time keeping some women from stealing them!!!! One garment actually had lipstick marks on it where a woman bit through the threads with her teeth to get the buttons off the coat!!!….Saks cleaned the coat and we replaced the buttons!!….This was a very good selling coat as it worked on all shapes and sizes, and the women LOVED the colors which were unique, and impossible to find elsewhere!………HAND KNIT SWEATERS were my specialty! I had a fabulous group of young women that worked for me that only worked on knitwear…..headed by a young woman named Fran Miskin…..I used to nick name her “NEEDLES”, because she was a wiz with knitting needles. Her hands FLEW!. She had a small cottage group of women who made the first samples, and the production was done by them or in ITALY depending on how many we sold and how complicated the sweaters were to make…….These three sweaters on ELAINE….YASMEEN…..and CHRISTY, I believe were made in AMERICA, because they were very complicate with all of the different stitches and patterns……Elaine and Christy were wearing boat neck tunics and Yasmeen was in a cardigan with the nugget buttons. They all had on matching turtle necks or funnels neck sweaters, made in ITALY, under the hand knits…and matching suede gloves, matching leggings and matching suede over the knee boots!……..I would LOVE to see young women walking down Madison Ave looking like this today!…………How much fun would that be!!!!………..I can’t believe this was over 30 years ago!!

………………….TODAY……and TODAY ONLY………..QVC is having a FREE SHIPPING & HANDLING DAY on EVERYTHING!……..plus there are 3 to 5 EZAY PAYS on EVERYTHING TOO!…….Some items are even on SALE like the STERLING SILVER crosses……..The Sterling version in WHITE or BLUE, J429083…..and the 18 KARAT GOLD PLATE on STERLING in the COGNAC, J429085……come with enhancers and a beautiful chain. If they have been on your radar….today is the day to make them yours!

……………………..On Sunday I went to my nephew and Godson Mathew’s home to celebrate his 47th birthday……..It’s funny how the age gap seems to be closer as the youngins’ get older!!!! It was a marvelous day!….We swam in his pool, and sat by the fire pit as the evening got cooler. the seasons are changing already and the days are getting noticeably shorter…..He cooked on the grill and it was all delicious…..This week he and Michele, his partner in life, are taking her youngest daughter to college in Florida to get her settled in [photo second in from top left]. They are now going to be official “empty nesters”…..We had a terrific time!
