I can’t believe it’s been 30 years!
Yes, 30 years ago I married my beautiful husband Bill, and we became partners in life and in business. Somehow, I let him talk me into representing our jewelry on QVC. I had no clue what I was doing! I had zero on-air experience. And because there were very few guests on QVC back then, there was no formal training. I remember I actually carried my own chair onto the set. When we went live, I had no idea where to look, so I probably stared at my host, Jill Bauer, for the entire hour. When I opened my mouth, it felt like an eternity before any words actually came out. That was the beginning of a wonderful friendship with Jill and so many passionate and talented QVC associates and guests. And as you know, I haven’t stopped talking since!
I cherish the thousands of people who have collected our jewelry over the years. I have met many of you in my travels across America, and feel blessed to call you my friends. It brings me so much joy knowing you have formed special friendships with other collectors through your shared passion for our jewelry. What a wonderful jewelry journey it has been, and thanks to you, the adventure continues! Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing photos and special memories from the past 30 years. I hope you’ll share your stories too. And of course, I’d love to see pictures of you in your favorite jewelry.
