Spring has finally sprung and I can’t wait for you to see all the fashions and jewelry in bloom for May! First of all on Saturday, May 9th I have a full hour of My Favorite Things fashions! If you love florals, you won’t want to miss my new Rose Garden top or my “Cloud Nine” white denim floral jacket with lace and pearls! The entire show will feature beautiful separates (tops, skirts and the perfect jeans) that are figure flattering and fabulous for spring!

We have my new pave flower ring (in black or clear pave), jeweled flower lorgnettes (fashion meets function!), hand carved mother of pearl magnetic pins (great for our delicate tops), strawberry and apple pendant watches (from Paris), jewelers loops in new spring colors (pink, lavender and blue), scarab and butterfly pins, stunning jumbo pearls and anti-tarnish jewelry boxes for storing all of your natural wonders!!

Answers to Questions:

First – Thanks for all the feedback on my new “Sammy” hair cut! I wasn’t planning on a short hair cut when I arrived in the green room to say “hi” to Sammy and discuss our show last week – but Sammy convinced me it was time for a change! I’m still getting used to my new “do” – it’s much easier to style and much cooler to wear in the Florida heat!

For the Heidi Daus Fans – I’m glad to hear you love the idea of a cruise! How fun would that be? I’m not sure if this will happen, but I will let her know you’re on board with the idea!

Malissa in CA asks about a reversible earring from Jay King – great suggestion! I will be sure to get the word to Jay’s buyer….his “dream team” of designers loves getting inspiration for new pieces!

Amy in PA – Hi! There’s no question that having a passion for jewelry is in the DNA….your six year old daughter is proof! I can’t wait to tell Amy Kahn Russell that she has a new young “collector” – A jewelry maven in training! Thanks for sharing and for making my day, Amy! is asking about the carved Lapis Sphinx jewelry. I’m so glad you like it….We will try to bring it back, but it may not be until December or January (takes a long time to source and carve the natural lapis stones). Stay tuned!

Crystal in GA

Melissa in CA is asking about my “black diamond” pave flower ring. This ring will be here on May 17th as part of the 3 hour My Favorite Things jewelry show! I’ve had many requests for this ring….it’s inspired by a genuine black diamond ring that I love – but the simulated version is beautiful and affordable! Hope you can watch!

Elizabeth in FL – Thank you for your sweet message! Sammy from Miami cut my hair – He calls this style a layered bob :-)

Hi Pat in NY! You’re asking about my pave “glam” bracelet….It’s one of my favorites and will be here for Host Pick Day in June (with gorgeous matching stackable eternity bands).

Lois in Illinois – I hear you loud and clear about clip on earrings! I will send the word to our buyers that we need to offer a better assortment of clip on’s. Also, I’m glad you like my new hair….Change is good!

Thank you all for you’re great feedback – I love hearing from you, so let me know what’s on your mind.

Fondly,
Colleen

    Colleen, Please, please, please ask Joy Mangano to bring back those great reader glasses. They sold out before I could log on and MANY people (like us baby-boomers) need them. Thank you so much!!

  • Trisha, OK says:

  • granny, IL says:

  • lois, IL says:

  • lois, IL says:

    colleen-i have a funny story to share with you,as i ordered the G.E.digital,camera from you in the purple,well in all my 45-years of marriage my husband had never been a camera person,and also made fun of me for packing a camera around-well guess who-is packing this camera around,and just aim-and-shoot…he’s packing this in his shirt pocket-like he is a pro….you have my permission,to share this with other people.thank-you colleen,we love this camera.

  • lois, IL says:

    thank-you colleen, and adrienne,for taking my call-i love-love her jewelry,as this is art..i wish that she would write a book,as her jewelry has a story,behind it.and i want to thank,adrienne,for the clip-on-earrings.she is the queen of the pave-jewelry..the people calling in really help me to decide on the jewelry also…thank-you colleen..and hsn…

  • jennifer, IN says:

    Colleen, I LOVE all of your jewelry(and nicky butlers). I own the faceted drusy, and love it.I would love to see you or nicky do something in blue moon quartz, I have a loose stone,but i can’t fing a setting for it, but it’s so beautiful. It reminds me alot of moonstone, since it has the blue that moves across it. I would also like to see you do some rings in moonstone.
    One last thing, I LOVE!! that your rings are adjustable(i have large fingers). I LOVe your stuff keep up the good work!!

  • Me-Me, LA says:

    Hi Colleen, Great admirer &fan. Love your style & humor. You’re just so nice. Saw years ago on HSN an earring smaller hoop with different seasonal change charms. Would like to see that again.Also a silver/white gold & yellow gold hoop w/diamonds & without that could add dangle different stones to go with other jewelry. Dabble in jewelry designs and I make dangles of certain stones and wear on these hoops. Keep bringing us new and exciting things! God Bless!!

  • connie, NY says:

    Colleen, Would like to know about the two necklaces you wore on air – are they coming soon.
    Also I missed Lynn Murphy’s wedding picture (under Lois, Il’s comments) Will they post a photo I wish her the best. Thank you.

  • Nancy, WA says:

    Hi Colleen,
    I have a large variety of jewelry items I would like to know how to maintain and keep at their highest quality. I store all items in your boxes, I have a Joy Mangano jewelry cleaning system and I just purchased a set of cleaning cloths from HSN. My question to you is how, when and what do I use to care for silver, gold, technibond, coral, pearl and bead treasures. Thank you for your level of expertise.

  • Rhea, NY says:

    Hi Colleen. I have a Nicky Butler tourmalated quartz ring, my favorite ring. Will he bring back more pieces of this beautiful, sophisticated stone?

  • Diana, CA says:

    Missing Footprints — Colleen, any way you can beg, coerce or bribe Michael Anthony to bring back the 10K gold footprints ring??? I ordered two last July when they first aired and they made lovely gifts…even more now that things are getting tougher all around. Sure would love to see them return! Thanks. Diana in California

  • Ann, FL says:

    Dear Collen
    Love love love the Prestige jewelry boxes. Would you please make one that will
    hold an entire ensemble. Please use the large size (one layer only) with half
    open, and the other half with a row to hold rings and the rest divided into
    sections for earrings and pendants. Thanks and keep up the good work!

  • Donna, IL says:

    Hi Colleen,
    I know you get alot of mail, but I have written to you in the past and gotten no response. I would really like it if you would pass on some information to Mr. Jay King. I love his line and I have several sets, but I wish he would make his magnetic closure pendants longer, say 21 and a half-22 inches long. I especially like the red and lapis ones! Thank-you!

  • lois, IL says:

    hey! colleen gotta tell-you i loved the show with you and suzanne,and today i got to speak to her on the phone,and yes i also wore the go-go-boots that you and her were discussing.her and i are about the same age,and her hubby and my hubby are the same-age.she is a hoot.hubby and i and our children watched every show-three’s company.i have been with all of you and her the 17-years,on hsn..i have her clothes-the jewelry-food,and so forth.thank-you colleen,as i have spoke with you many times also.

  • Cheryll, CA says:

    My question exactly. Who designed that huge necklace you had on Sunday night with Jennifer and Serious Skin care, I have looked all over HSN. com and didn’t see it, it was gorgeous, but I have noticed a couple of times you have worn something I never see on the web? What’s up with that. Your presentation of jewelry is top notch & wish I could buy more…Anyway fill me in

  • Pat, NY says:

    When are the earring boxes coming???????

  • lois, IL says:

    colleen you do not need the facemaster..as when a person starts using it they have to keep it up or there skin will droop…just like working out and lifting weights..and you have beautiful skin……you are beautiful inside and out…thank-you,keep up the good-work,love your show..

  • lois, IL says:

    hello colleen,love your show tonight with suzanne somers,but the facemaster,with her husband alan looked better on the before than the after-i think they error ed…i love her jewelry,as i have the gold mesh necklace and yes i would love to have a tank-dress like that also in gold.i wish she would bring clip-on-earrings….is han.in canada,as suzanne talks alot about being on t.v,in canada and selling.??? and so did anthony with the gold talk about his brother michael-selling in canada??? thank-

  • Joan, FL says:

    Hi Colleen, Have 3 questions for you.
    1. Who design the necklace you were wearing on the Serious Skin makeup Sunday night. It was a wow.
    2. What happen to the sweater designer Jamie Grier? Loved her sweaters. Always got rave reviews on them. Will she be back soon or not any more.
    3. When are the jewelry designers Viktoia Hayman,Amy Kahn Russell and Deb Guyot going to be back on. I miss their unusual design

  • Rhea, NY says:

    Hi Colleen. What about a monthly signature piece to emphasize the birthstone of the month? I’m thinking a ring. Love your presentations.

  • Florene, TX says:

    Colleen
    Can you PLEASE bring back the mother of pearl broach pendant. I ordered it a few months ago and foolishly sent it back that was a mistake, please say that it will be back soon.
    Your hair looks great.

    Thanks,

  • Connie, NY says:

    Colleen, Can you please tell me when in June for Diana Venezia. My name was on waitlist, twice, for the Rainbow Flourite Pearl Necklace but unfortunately HSN cancelled them -item not available. I would love to own that necklace. No waitlist anymore. Your a great host. Thank you.
