Viva Las Vegas!

What happened in Vegas.....Is coming to HSN!

 


With Andrew Stone of Himalayan Gems

Lady Luck was on my side this past week as I joined over 20,000 jewelry professionals from all over the world in Las Vegas, Nevada for the 18th annual JCK Jewelry Show! The Sands Convention Center was buzzing with jewelry insiders all looking to discover the latest styles, trends, and inspiration the jewelry world has to offer!

Although I didn't have much luck in the casino, I hit the jackpot when it came to discovering gorgeous new jewelry!

One of the key trends at this year's show was the influence of Global design. Exotic, ornate and ethnic influences were everywhere - nothing drab or hum-drum to be seen!

At the Himalayan Gems booth I was blown away by the artistry of some of their newest pieces. Their hand crafted silver pieces and beaded necklaces from Nepal are more beautiful than ever....Here's an example of just one of their new beaded necklace designs coming in November!

Another big trend is Color! There was an explosion of color throughout the show.

For Fall 2009 look for blues, greens, purples, fuchsia, salmon and berry as top color choices in both fashion and jewelry. When I stopped by to visit Sajen Silver I was excited to see some of the most amazing new colorful jewelry by Richard and Marianna Jacobs. The "sky's the limit" for this fabulous design team - and wait until you see the first Sajen Silver Today's Special launching in August! If you love color....you will be impressed by their stunning gemstone ring that will be our Today's Special (in 3 vibrant color choices) - I can't show it to you yet, but it rivals the lights of the Vegas strip!

Finally, the one key trend that continues to take center stage in the jewelry world is Statement Jewelry! If your taste is big, bold and one-of-a-kind, you will be "all in" for jewelry styles for the upcoming seasons!

Amy Kahn Russell is one designer who knows all about Statement Jewelry - in fact her "Statements" collection for HSN's Silver Gallery is perfect for the woman who dares to go big!! Amy's booth is one of the most exciting to visit - the look on women's faces as they walk by and gaze at her eye-popping designs is priceless. Amy's July Silver Gallery show will feature some fabulous new Statement rings, necklaces and bracelets.....You can bet on it!

There you have it, a little peek inside the biggest jewelry show in the United States!

And come to think of it, with the good fortune I had finding so many beautiful things at the show this year - I'm guessing Lady Luck is a jewelry collector, too!

Love and Luck :-)

Colleen - My question is regarding your Prestige Jewelry Boxes: you used to make the black ones with a pink interior...will you be doing that again? Loved it more than the black interior, it shows off the jewelry better and is prettier sitting on a dresser. Maybe make it in white with pink interior as well. Love all your shows. Keep bringing us great items like that new emerald necklace!

Coleen, I enjoy your Favorite Things and all your shows. The items you pick are always special and so very classy. I have a request. Last year you did an Christmas Ornament set in a pink box lined in satin.........the ornaments were so very cute. Can you please do another set for this year. I would love to have more plus I would love to buy a set to give an ornament to friends for Christmas. Please bring them back and add a new one for people like me who want to collect them. Thank You!

Hi Colleen...I've noticed both you and Rachel Huber having difficulty at times speaking. It might be the dust in the air. I have found an ionizer eliminates that problem. You are both such lovely peole, maybe if you try the ionizer (near you while on the air) it will be the solution. My first ionizer came from HSN. Even took one to work as the building I worked in was old - and old buildings produce their own dust. Please pass this on to Rachel. I hope it works for both of you.

Hello Coleen! Love your prestige jewelry boxes. Prefer the smaller sizes since they are easier for me to store. The new small cuff box is great, holds an assortment of jewelry. Please bring back the gray color, great for the sterling silver jewelry. Also, you had mentioned new style boxes becomming availabe around the holidays, does that mean in December 2009? I am still trying to get your new cuff box in red or gray if you decide to bring the color back.

My Dear Colleen, I just have to rave a bit about your CL by Design collection. As you know, your huge gray mabe pearl ring (was Item 466782) that sold out from your 7.18.09 Silver Gallery show is an absolutely fabulous ring. The silverwork is regal and ageless, the pearl yummy. Instantly one of my faves. And, your 10.2 ct. (sky) blue topaz ring (Item 466855) and your clear quartz ring (466788) are also wonderful. Your carved rose quartz bamboo stretch bracelet (485578) is also really nice.

Is it possible? Also I encourage you to keep making bracelets like this one in differnt stones...... they are fantastic. I have the lamir atlantis bracelet and now the rose quartz, looking forward to wearing them together. Wouldn't be great to have an armful of all different colors of the rainbow?

It looked like a single strand of pearls of about a 20mm size. You wore the necklace once before (I can't remember the show) and I fell in love with it. Do you know the one I mean? Please let me know if you do. Thanks so much, and All the best to you,

I have to wait months before any of these come back and it's never all types.

Hi Colleen, Why can't HSN stock your selection of Prestige boxes all of the time? I am so frustrated because they always sell out and if I miss a show I have to wait months or longer to see again. HSN must be losing sales when we all want those boxes. I have 14 and am wanting the big box with no dividers on the interior. Please try to stock them all of the time and in multiple colors. I have all of my silver jewelry in the cool colors and the gold jewelry in the warm colors. thanks from MN

Hi Colleen: I wanted to find out about your Aqua Drusy Ring that you never presented on Silver Gallery and I can't find it. Do you have it or was it sold out.

Colleen - I must agree with everyone here, you are a very beautiful lady that I really enjoy watching. I love the short hair style and hope you keep it, it makes you look so much younger. I have a question about your jewelry boxes. I would like to see them made in white. I don't have the other colors in my decor, but would probably buy them in white. Just an idea.

Hi Coleen: Can you please ask the Absolute craftsman to check out the gold Technibond is using in their jewelry and use it in theirs?? Some of the pieces are real organgy and fake looking no matter how pretty the stones are the gold is really off and you end up not wearing it and stop purchasing the product even though on TV is looks great when it comes to your home it looks cheap. Thanks:)

Hi Colleen, You are my favorite host. You always make me laugh. I have a request. Could you please make one of your anti-tarnish boxes for rings only. I know you already have one but it doesn't hold rings that are tall. Also could you please make it large enough to hold a lot of rings. Could you please also make it with a black inside so it will really show off the rings. I would like to see it made with a black faux suade covering the outside of the box and a large window to view the rings.

Colleen you did a Beauty show on June 30th and had on a beautiful beige sweater with gold in it and the most beautiful necklace that looked like very large pearls with a sparkly stone in between them. Can you tell me what the necklace was and if it is coming on soon. Thanks, me and my Mom really enjoy watching you!

Hi Colleen, Your my favorite host on HSN all of the jewelry you show is beautiful. But, I was wondering when is the watch that you've been wearing coming out? It's the one with the grey band and it looks like a Phillip Stein. I thought it was May but, I haven't seen it yet. Thanks, Emily

Hi, I love your presentations. My question is; what do I do when I receive a ring, which I love, that had scratches? I want to return it but I know I their aren't anymore to replace it. So, do I keep it and live with it or do I send it back?

Hi Colleen- I am looking for a jewelry box for my sterling silver neck wires and omegas. The space needs to be large enough so they don't get bent. I know you have the Prestige line at HSN and there seems to be none of them available on-line right now. Do you know when they will return? Thanks cp in oregon

Dear Colleen, You are my favorite show host and I have missed seeing you recently. Now I know why - you were away. Welcome back! I have one request - could you please get your ring designers to make rings in half-sizes? I wear a 6 1/2. I order size 7 and they are O.K. but not right. So, if you or someone in your company make this request for me? Thanks. Keep up the good work.

Colleen, I really enjoy your commentary about the various gem shows. How about getting together a group of HSN jewelry fans and taking them to the Tuscon Gem show -- maybe include an intro to Jay King. Help us see the show through your eyes. I would have no idea where to start. You are such a delight on the air -- so genuine. Continue the good work!

Laura, CA 06/24/2009
Colleen,I have a request & I hope you can help. It would be great on jewelry shows if the background color were any other color than white! Especially with silver jewelry. Between the lights and the reflection of the silver, some pieces almost disappear when viewing the preview at the start of the show. Also, if the necklace display stands (don't know what they're called) were not white that would help to display these pieces much better.

Love your stuff! I bought the Parisian crystal strawberry necklace, and I really love it. I have much real jewelry, but I get in a good mood whenever I wear that piece of costume! Any plans to bring in anymore of this type of enameled fruit? I don't like the pieces with the watches in them, but I'd love more fun cheery enamel with crystal necklaces -- like a bunch of purple grapes with a crystal dewdrop on each grape or pretty plump raspberry with pink/fuscia crystals.

Colleen, on your show Thursday night with the Lancome presentation, you had on some exceptional jewelry. The necklace looked like a lavendar geode and there were also two gorgeous rings and a bracelet. Are these items that can be ordered on HSN? If so, please provide the item numbers. They are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much for your help, and I really enjoy your presentations on HSN. Carol Gross

Dear Colleen--I just got your jeans for the first time, and you were not kidding about the fit---WOW! I have tried MANY jeans from HSN and I returned them all, except yours! I am a curvy tiny gal, and how you pulled off the waistband is incredible. Will you make size 2? Thank you for your fresh, honest approach. You can tell you are a nice person and a true professional. I first started watching you right after 9/11 and ever since. You were so comforting, you really pulled me through.

Colleen, I love watching your jewelry shows on HSN. Were kindred spirits you and I when it comes to our love and appreciation of jewelry. I recently purchased the jumbo pearl strands of necklaces in one of your shows and they are fabulous. My only wish is that HSN would bring more pearl necklaces in longer lengths. I also love your makeup and I was wondering which powder and foundation you use daily. Thanks for all the wonderful jewelry that you continue to present. Jewelry Goddess

Hello, Gorgeous Colleen! I was watching Jean Dousset present all those amazing pieces of jewelry a while back and would realy love to see him design for men. Lab-created tanzanite, alexandrite and other exotics are not just for women anymore. HSN really needs to expand its men's ring collection big time, and Mr. Dousset would be amazing in this regard. I would be a devotee in a heartbeat! Thanks much, Colleen! I adore you!!! Glenn

I would go broke if I had the opportunity to look at Amy's jewelry. Bring back that fish bracelet - the bigger the better!!! With an extra ring for adjustment. And matching accessories, please! Frog bracelet, yes, more frogs! Love Amy's things. Hey Colleen, if you think of it, please ask the powers that be at HSN to not attach a magazine subscription to the day's special value. I will not order with that magazine subscription unless they allow us to refuse it via email.
