Happy summer Colleen! Just love jewelry too! Love the potays. Speaking of…. Please have HSN offer the newest trend – Scarf Charms. You can see many of them on Amazon. I see them too in some stores.
Another request is for seahorse jewelry. My current passion! I think the Sajens could offer a very nice pendant. They are fascinating and elusive sea creatures.
Thanks for “listening”.

Hi Colleen,
I was writing to see if it was possible to bring back a pair of earrings that victoria wieck did quite a few years ago. They were done in 14k back then and 380.00 was just too much for me to spend. They were called bow-design gemstone and topaz earrings. They were gorgeous with a briollette hanging at the bottom. Can she redo this same earring in sterling silver and sterling silver vermeil so they are affordable to all? Please let me know. I can send you a picture. Thanks.
Dear Colleen,
I am one of your prestige jewelry box fans. Would you please look into restocking the large box with the small compartments? I and others on the _ jewelry forum have been waiting and waiting for it to return and disappointed each time when the small compartment box is not shown. Thank you very much for your help with this. You will have many customers buying this size for their earrings, Thank you!

I was not able to get it when it was aired and I want it in a size 8….is there any way that you can bring it back? Please, Please, Please! I own hundreds of absolute rings but this one is the best! I would be forever grateful if you could do it! Thank you and you are my favorite and have shopped with HSN for over 28 years!
Hi, Colleen, I am trying to organize my jewelry. I have purchased 4 of your jewelry boxes and the’re wonderful! I am just hoping that you will bring back more of the boxes made specifically for necklaces. Then I will have a place for everything. Thanks for reading this.

Hi Colleen ,
I watched Bounkit Boutique on 05/15/2011. I saw # 124-570 in the color “Clear”. What is the weight of the pair of earrings ?
You are a wonderful host ! !
Sincerely

Hello Colleen,
I love watching you as a host and I LOVE Heidi Daus’s Jewelry…Do you know if she will bring back her clasp that is now sold out? I am not sure why..but it is so difficult to find any jewelry clasp/pearl shortener, let alone a beautiful one like the one that Heidi Daus created…Whenever one does come up it always ends up getting sold out immediately!
thanks!
Colleen I am asking you because I know you will pass the information on. Ibought a big simulated pink chubby marquise cut ring from Victoria Weick and wanted to know if it was going to make it back again. both of my daughters love it and I would love to purchase a couple more of them. Thank you for your help in this matter. Have a good week . Cathey
Hi Colleen! I would like to know about the beautiful necklace you were wearing on Andrew’s Show on Saturday night April 16. It was a long green (I think) necklace with stones on the side. It is similar to one it was a today’s special from Nepal a few months ago Is it? At least it looks similar to me. Is it going to be available some time soon on one of your shows? I’ll appreciate the information. Thanks!.

Hi Colleen,
Your last “My Fav Things” had a promo video. First ring shown was a gold trillion. I waited anxiously throughout both airings, sadly it was never shown. I contacted customer service, they have no info. I thought since it must be a fav for you, and you picked it for your show, that you would have some info. Do you know when it will become available? I’ve checked new items everyday since March 14th, and I’m still not able to find it. Thanks greatly!
Signed “Gotta Have IT”
I guess I’m never going to find out any information about the ring I saw in your video :-( .
Hello Collen! I have a sugestion for you
for Absoluted ….I got the cupids bow ring and I’m in love with it,I got one for my daughter also, then my daughter said something that I truly think it would be beautiful. This same ring in a simulated pink or canary Absoluted.I know that maybe the price would have to be more but you know what I’m sure that every body that has gotten this ring have fallen in love with it like me, and they would probably be willing to pay for it.Let me know……
Hi Colleen, I have a question for you regarding an absolute 14kt line bracelet I bought from you on HSN. I lost one of the stones and wondered if you have any suggestions on getting a replacement stone. I spoke to a rep. at Customer Service but she says HSN can not help because it wasn’t from one of the designers like Victoria W or Jay King.
Dear Colleen. I SO hope you get this. I am SO wondering what kind of watch it is that you wear often? I caught glimpses of it during a non-jewelry show and am assuming it’s not something you bought on hsn. It looks to be an ascher cut face…….not very big. It also appeared to have a gold band around the face, but the bracelet part was white metal. It looked gorgeous. Could you PLEASE tell me the kind or HSN #?
Maryellen
Hi Colleen,
I remember on one of your entries this past year you mentioned finding a rutilated quartz ring to bring to us. Did I miss it?
Dear Collen its me again with a request, I’m the one that wrote to you about the Cupid’s Bow ring, well I finally was able to purchase the ring…Know I would like to find out thru you if Victoria Weick is bringing back
Item: 957-954 Victoria Wieck 14.1ct Absolute™ Champagne-Color Band Ring.I write to you because I’m confidend that if you can you will help me. You are my favority host and truly a Lady I hope to hear from you soon, thank you
Hi Colleen,
I am desperate! I am missing your shows due to a technical problem with HSN’s signal. I have called twice over the last month to report that there is a clicking, metallic tinking noise on your broadcast feed. It is still so bad that I can’t watch the channel for more than 2 seconds. None of our other channels exhibit this behavior. Help please!!!! I am going through jewelry withdrawal.
Hello Colleen!!!
You are looking fabulous….. I was wondering if Viktoria Haymen is coming back. I love her jewelry; I wish she was coming more often to your Silver Design Show. Ah! I love the huge blue ring that it is in the facebook, designed by your son. I hope you will bring it to HSN or similiar ring. Take care.
Dear Collen,first let me tell you that I loves watching your show. You have great taste, and you are truly a Lady. I have a small collection of Absulute but there is one ring I have been trying to get without luck it’s one of your favorite..Colleen Lopez My Favorite Things 4.12ct Absolute™ “Cupid’s Bow” Tension-Style RingItem: 951-684. do you know if HSN its goin to get it back and if they are when I want one in size 9 in vermeil and 6 ( for my daughter)in silver.I’ll be waiting for an answer.
Collen today I was able to buy the Cupid’s Bow ring for my daughter and myself…I was just looking thru the Absulute pages and to my surprise there they were in both of the size I need it and in silver and vermeil, I was so exited I even woke my daughter up she lives in Fla.and there is a three hrs diference,but it was worth it….Thank you. keep getting things like this ring its Waooooooooo!!!!!!
Hi Colleen. Do you remember the large geometric smoky quartz ring, the one you said your mother owns? From above, all you could see is the stone. The size I ordered was too big, and by the time I ordered a smaller size… well, you can guess. When is it going to come back? Thanks.
Hi Colleen,
I wondered if you would let me know when you will be able to bring back Deb Guyot’s 80ct Herkimer Quartz faceted rondelle necklace – item 109-985. I missed the necklace and would love to get two if it is offered again. Thank you very much.
Hi Colleen: Have followed you from CVN to HSN. Have watched your 2 boys grow up into handsome men. Any chance you might bring back the eyeglass necklaces, with a less expensive pricetag. Haven’t found anything in the stores that even comes close to your necklaces. thanks a million
Colleen I am a guy who loves watching your show. You have great taste. I was lucky enough to get a Victoria Wieck man’s ring and just love it. A 4-stone princess cut ring. I know you have sons do you evey plan to so a few men’s jewelry? I think it would be great to add in a few items for the guys!
Just a thought. Keep up the good work. James
Hi James, Thanks for your message. I will be sure to talk to our buyers about more mens jewelry. I think one of the challenges is coming up with the right styles for me – often when we offer mens jewelry, it isn’t real popular (believe it or not!). Give me some ideas of what you would be interested in buying and I’ll see if our buyers can bring in a better selection!
Thank for watching! Colleen
Sorry James – I meant “right styles for men” not for “me”!! oops.
ssitna says:Hi Colleen. You’re our favorite girl. Can you give us a hint when Jay King will start his men’s line? My honey is dying to buy me some.
Hi FPratt, Many of you are looking for mens jewelry! You may want to leave a message for Jay on his blog – he can fill you in on when or if he plans on bringing in a mens jewelry line. Thanks for watching, Colleen
Sometime ago Studio Barse did a lime green turquoise triangular ring in SS. Mine is too small and would love to see some truly lime green turquoise rings again. Can you help? Also, I love your sunglass box but wondered if you could offer one in that size but that has roll inserts like the larger jewelry box so I can put my bangles in? Thanks.
Hi babyduke,
I will forward your request for green turquoise to our buyer. We are working on a new cuff box – I will suggest we make it deeper, like the sunglass box – great idea! Take care, Colleen
Hi Colleen,
I just bought your amethyst and lemon quartz rondelle necklaces. Somehow I missed out on all the others. I would LOVE a smoky quartz and a garnet. When will these be available again?
Blessings,
Mary
Oh, I forgot, I’d love a black spinel rondelle necklace, too. LOL
Hi Mary, So glad to hear you like the rondelle necklaces! They are not on order at this time, but I will request we bring them back in all colors. It will take a little time – hopefully by fall! Thanks for your request! Colleen
