Happy Stories From our customers

Campuses are a perfect calibrator of emerging fashion trends. Why? Students are often the ones most likely to be on top of fashion news but more than that, they create trends.

So what’s happening on campus this Fall?

If you’ve taken a walk around campus lately, you’re sure to have noticed girls walking around with wrists covered in gold- and silver-colored bangle bracelets, or wearing necklaces with a clear locket filled with tiny charms around their neck.

“I like how personal the jewelry is designed to be. I choose what best suits me and add whatever charms I want to it. To me, it’s just another way to outwardly represent myself and my tastes. That’s why I wear the things I wear. I guess you can say fashion is simply a manner of expressing oneself and communicating with others nonverbally,” says one student.

As most of us know by now, comedienne Joan Rivers died last week at 81 years old. We wanted to take a moment to highlight her jewelry line and the personality behind it.

Joan Rivers, the entertainer, seemed to spend as much time on the QVC home shopping channel as she did telling jokes and critiquing celebrity fashion. For years, she ceaselessly hawked her line of jewelry, clothing and beauty products on television.

It worked. In 24 years of appearances on the channel, she managed to sell over $1 billion in merchandise, according to QVC.

Her big-sellers included the Pave Crystal Lovebirds Brooch, (shown below) for $150 and the Starlet Style 20 necklace (also shown below) for $112. Shoppers – or at least those claiming to be – inevitably left positive comment on the website about her products. For example, the necklace garnered a 4.8 out of 5 rating, including 98 five-star reviews.
