A place to learn and be heard

Welcome to Ask Colleen!

If you are a fan of designer sterling silver jewelry - Silver Gallery is a show to delight and inspire you! 

Each month we feature a new designer collection with artisan crafted, hand made designs from all over the globe!

As I watched the Opening Ceremonies from Beijing, I couldn't help but feel a real connection with the athletes who represent the places where our Silver Gallery jewelry is made:  Nepal, Bali, Jaipur, Mongolia, Mexico, Thailand, Peru, Hong Kong and the United States!  We are bringing you the world!

If you are looking for Gold Medal-worthy design (or shall I say Silver Medal-worthy?)....I am tickled to be launching our first ever Silver Gallery Designer Trunk Show on HSN.com.  Be sure to browse the pages and examine the photos of these one-of-a-kind designer creations.  There are many talented designers represented - each with his or her own personal style and flair!  Because there is only "1" of each item, if you see something you love, (just like a star athlete) go for it!!   Ok, I admit it....I consider shopping a sport...

One designer to watch is Amy Kahn Russell. Amy is a prolific artist and her background in drawing, sculpting and painting is beautifully reflected in her jewelry collection. She has collectors from all over the world and her pieces are featured in numerous galleries and museums. Amy's bold, Diva-worthy designs will fascinate the woman who loves color, texture, and exotic designs in silver. Be sure to check out her turquoise pieces.... absolutely amazing! 

To answer some of your questions - updated 9/11/08

Hi Samantha and Denise!  I truly appreciate your feedback regarding the HSN.com Trunk Show!  The Trunk Show event was a way for our designers to showcase some of their high-end, one-of-a-kind designs.  Each of our designers sells his or her jewelry in fine jewelry stores around the world and they were excited to show you some of their "high jewelry" pieces. We only had about 70 items for the Trunk Show and we were delighted to see that most of our pieces sold out!   Even if you didn't shop for anything in the Trunk Show....Just like a fine art gallery - it's fun to "window shop".  

We have our next Silver Gallery this Sat. at 12:00 noon eastern....If you look on HSN.com you will find we have items priced from $10 to $400.
 
Ed, Jean, and Marina - You are all Viktoria Hayman fans and so am I!!  Viktoria brings bold, show-stopping jewelry to our Silver Gallery customer who dares to stand out in a crowd!
Viktoria has been designing for top designer runway shows, fashionistas, and film starts for many years and has found many fans here at HSN.  You will see more of Viktoria's work on HSN in 2009 - I'm sure she will have amazing things to excite and delight you!
 
Hey, Krys in Georgia - here's the scoop on your new Scoop watches.....The 5-year warranty basically covers the inner working of your watch.  In other words, if there are mechanical problems with  your watch, the manufacturer will fix or replace it.  The warranty doesn't cover scratches to the band, lost crystals from the face, etc.   If you need to have the watch cleaned, the battery replaced, new crystals sent or extra links for more length, the warranty information will show you who to contact and how much it will cost for these minor things (a new battery is $3, for example).  Hope you love your new watches - with three of these beauties it's "shine time" for you, Krys!
 
Hello Abi!  Nice to hear from you!  Yes....We have more beautiful Tigers Eye in the works.  We have many new Tigers Eye pieces coming in for November and December.  Amy Kahn Russell will be bringing us a gorgeous collection featuring Buddha in Tigers Eye for her November visit, and I will be showing you some brand new CL by Design Tiger's Eye in December.  I am fortunate to get to work with a team of talented people to help bring my CL by Design jewelry to life!!   Finally, I love my job as 'Show Host' on  HSN and I plan to continue to be a host for years to come!!
 
Linda in NY, thank you for taking the time to post your comments regarding Hassan Bounkit designs.  To understand Hassan's work, you need to know a little more about his fashion background.  Hassan was born in Casablanca, Morocco and studied fashion in Montreal and Florence.  He's worked with many prestigious fashion designers including the couture houses of Salvatore Ferragamo and Merella Ferrera in Italy.  He's also worked in New York City at the fashion houses of Nicole Miller and Arnold Scaasi.  When Hassan started designing his own line of jewelry a few years ago, he combined both fashion jewelry elements and genuine gemstones.   He makes every piece by hand in his studio in NYC - I've had the chance to visit him there and it's thrilling to see him work.   HSN's Silver Gallery offers Hassan's creative work in sterling silver and gold vermeil.   Keep your eyes peeled as you will see his jewelry featured in many top magazines and worn by many famous women in the media.  I appreciate your feedback and hope this helps explain this unique, high-end, fashion jewelry designer and his work.
 
I'll be checking back soon to read your comments and answer your questions - Let me know what's on your mind!

Hope to see your Saturday at noon for 3 hours of Silver Gallery!

Fondly, 
Colleen

Hi Colleen, I purchased the Victoria Wieck starfish bracelet. Lovely bracelet. After trying it on I cannot remove it. My wrist now has black & blue marks all over it from trying to pry it off. I have just read other reviews of her bangle bracelets and this seems to be a reoccurring problem. Please contract Victoria so she can remove this piece of junk off of my wrist. I don't plan on wearing this for the rest of my life. P.S. When she removes it I want my $ back. Can't wait till she's o

I was looking at that lovely black and while bangle with the yellow stones from Joan Boyce, I wanted to buy it. But, it was too small. I notice that all her bangles are 6-1/2, which is too small for a lot of people. Can't she make them in two sizes? Otherwise, many people are left out.

Hi Colleen Thanks for doing this column. I appreciate your time and input! I was wondering if there will be any new moissanite shows coming in the future. I (and I'm sure I'm not alone) have fallen in love with this stone and HSN's flex pays have made it affordable to purchase. I see many pieces on clearance and hope HSN is not discontinuing this jewelry line. Thanks in advance for any information you can pass along and I look forward to watching you present all the beautiful gem pieces!

Hi Colleen, You are a joy to watch: classy, knowledgeable and graceous! I'm looking for a green ring with very clean lines but I just can't find it. The green that Nicky Butler brings us on his Chalcedony is exactly what I am looking for, that emerald color and that glossy look. Problem is, I don't want other gems mixed on the ring, all I want is a one large (not huge) green Chalcedony. I would be delighted if you could help me. Thank you! Shirley

Hi Colleen, I was just about to leave my house on 8/21/2009 when I was getting ready to turn the TV off. Of course, HSN was on and I just loved that silky scarve like top you had on. I asked if there was someway of finding out about the top but Customer Service stated it was your own personal top. I have bought many items you have had replicated at a lower price. If you could replicate that top (black leopard silky scarf) I would purchase in a minute. Love love your choices. Thank you.

Hi Colleen, my question is for Nicky Butler. I have his Raj 58.60ct Ruby and Honey Quartz Bracelet. It's gorgeous, the problem is the toggle clasp. The bar on the toggle is too short. Every time I've worn it, the clasp comes undone & my bracelet falls to the floor. I'm really worried to loose it or if it falls on a hard surface I'm worried that the stones will be lost or broken. I paid over $200 & purchased the extended warranty. Please ask if he can replace the clasp with a lobster claw.

It was NOT the big pear-shaped ring on sale for $19.90.It may be a ring you wore during the last week or two. I thought you may have said this particular ring was going to be presented in August. I have scrolled through all the rings and don't see it. Can you let me know if this is already available to or if/when it will be -- I LOVE IT! Thanks. Cheryl

I have & love your original 'Prestige' multi-drawer jewelry box with see-through top in turquoise fabric. Need more, or at least anything in turquoise without a 'ring' area. Have ordered the attractive 'croc' # 478 for now. Also, I wish the box would have options of no ring area as I prefer to keep rings separately in the ring box. Perhaps the ring pillows could be removeable? Thank you for an excellent, useful, and attractive product.

Do you have or can you get Tanzanite from Pakistan? There is a short article on Google about it. I think you could get a jump on jewelry television if you could be first to announce this product since they are pushing tanzanite so much. I knew there must be something new concerning tanzanite since they were pushing it so much. I'm just an average person, if I can figure this out others must be able to also.

Hi Colleen, Please bring more of your jewelry boxes. You must notice that they sell out fast and that there is a need for them with all of the jewelry we're buying! Also, on your recent picks show I purchased the black agate crystal bead necklace that you were wearing, I believe a number of us are wondering what happened to the matching bracelet that you wore, when is it going to be offered for sale? Also was this piece something that you designed? Thanks so much.

I have tried many products, some costing as much as $130 per very tiny jar, but all without any good results, and, loss of LOTS of money! I am social worker so I don't have lots of money! Can you recommend anything from HSN? Love watching you, especially with Suzanne Somers! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Kathy.

Question: What is Dichroic Glass? When i was a kid i had a ring my mother brought from Navaho Indians: Silver and a sort of clear rosie colored 'glass'(the back was open)however when moved this ring (oval) stone shown w. blue & purple - along w.rose. Loved this - lost it & always wanted to find again--Mother always called the 'stone' fire agate, but seeing yours i do not think that was it. Someone told me it was glass w. aluminum fired into it.?? Can have someone make something like it?

Hi Colleen, I was just online looking at your favorite jewelry pieces, and I came across your critter pins, particularly the frogs. I heard you mentioning that you were looking to bring Chihuahua pins next. I am a cat lover and was wondering if you would consider making up some cat pieces, different kinds of cats, if possible? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you, From one Colleen to another, Colleen Lambert

Colleen, I loved so many of the new items on your Favorite Things program. I have request, when do you think your multiple section jewelry boxes might become available? I love then to separate out my sets (earrings in the small sections and necklaces and bracelets in the larger ones.)

It's been several years since I seen you all have it. I just wondered if the rough is available any more. If it is I would LOVE to have a ring with it. Well won't take up anymore of your time but you're a sweet lady. Keep loving your sweet husband and children!

You give me a lot of laughs and I get a wonderful collection of jewelry (wish I were an octopus so I could wear them all!) I just have a couple of questions. Will the larger 2 layer bracelet jewelry boxes be back (I use them for my Jay King pieces and am in need of more)? I also enjoy the A. Jaron Studio pieces, will she be coming back with new designs? Thanks so much.

Rita, TX 04/07/2009
For Loretta in Tenn., as far as clip on earrings, if an earring comes on a shepherd hook, you can easily change it to pierced. I had the same problem until I began making my own. You can get the conversion pieces very inexpensively at a good craft store, and certain lever backs and hoops can be done too , just pay attention if the earring has a way to attach on the other clip on earring. I suggest you buy at the craft store too an inexpensive set of jewelers tools to help clamp the new earring.

Hi Colleen, I am addicted to HSN! On one of your favorite shows in the past, I purchased your silver interchangable bracelet magnetic closure with black, turquoise and pink insets, the only one that fits is the black, for some reason the turquoise or pink inset does not fit, the little door on the back won't stay shut, I just discovered this as I have always worn just the black, HELP!

Hi Colleen - I am a big fan of Silver Gallery and love love love the Himalayan and Bali silver. But the rings are so huge they overwhelm my hand. I am not a small person but I just can't wear a lot of the rings that I see. I wish you could get rings in from these designers that were just a tad smaller. And I love some of your own designs like the turtle and mother of pearl ring but again the ring is huge.

Hi Colleen I loved the druzy I saw today but was too late to purchase a pendant, and todays ring would be huge on my petite hand. When I was browsing through HSN's drusy on line, saw the CL By Design collection- loved the drusy purple pendant ( item # 311 905) that was sold out. Also loved the pear shaped rainbow drusy ring(353 337) but need size 6-7. Would love to buy smaller styles in drusy rings when next shipment arrives, as well as that unbelievable pear shaped pendant (#311905).

Have there been a lot of complaints on the color? and is something in the works to make it a more buttery look like Technibond has done?

Hi, Colleen. Fabulous name! =) I've been searching for scarf clips/rings & have come up empty handed. I've recently purchased, or received, several scarves & pashminas that, w/ a clip, would be much more comfortably, & arguably, more stylishly worn with a clip. Pins run the risk of damaging scarves. Do you know if any are in the works? I bet Jay King would make some interesting & stunning ones. Thanks for your time!

Hi! Happy New Year, Colleen. I am still waiting to know how to get in touch with Jay Feingold of Xavier. I have been doing genealogy and have some relatives from Philadelpia, circa 1900. Jay mentioned having the old records of customers. I thought how great it would be to have a silver copy of their original platinum ring. Perhaps it has already been produced for HSN. Thank you for your time.
