Find Your Fine Jewelry Style
Grace Kelly once said, “I buy clothes when they take my eye and I wear them for years.” Her amazing style and grace were classic yet incredibly glamorous and have been an inspiration to me since I sketched my very first ring.
I love the idea of buying jewelry just because it takes my eye… I never got stuck on the investment aspect of fine jewelry. For me, it was always about finding pieces that I could not resist. I spent the better part of my adult life traveling to jewelry shows around the globe to find one-of-a-kind jewels — now the inspiration for many of my designs.
In celebration of April’s birthstone, diamonds, I have re-created my own “classic yet glamorous” diamond jewelry finds that I have treasured and worn for years. Whatever your style, fabulous jewels are an investment and should be pieces that you LOVE because they will be a part of your FOREVER style.
Is your style Classic Chic or Glamour Goddess? Are you all about Party-Girl Sparkle? Perhaps your style is Working Girl Cool? Or maybe you are like me and you change your style to suit your mood… Here are my favorites from Rarities April collection – Tune in on the 29th and I will help you pick the perfect piece to suit your style or mood.
Whether your plans will be taking you across town or around the globe, we have some new spring and summer fashions that will go let you go everywhere, do everything and be who you want to be…..
Log on to Rarities to see all of the new pieces and don’t forget to join the Rarities Fan Page on Facebook for daily updates and styling tips.

Carol, I LOVE LOVE LOVE your jewelry. Unfortuneatly, I lost my job last year due to the economy, and I haven’t been able to purchase anything from your line. My passion is gems and jewelry and yours are just exquisite. My wish would be to purchase every single item you present, because I am just so in love with your jewelry. I will keep dreaming and maybe someday.

I am incredibly grateful for your expertise and creativity.
Carol, thank you. You have designed many pieces that take my eye. I’ve never been a fan of fashion jewelry. I think this comes from my Italian father who has only ever bought me small fine jewelry pieces during his travels. I am incredibly for your expertise and creativity. I thank you for making fine jewelry affordable. You are a true priceless gem!

Hi Carol, Have you seen the hope diamond? What do think about it’s curse? I love your jewelry. Thanks a million for bringing your designs to hsn for all of us ordinary folks, Love and blssings, Robyn
Carol: Please bring more drop earrings like the Amazonite & Prasiolite 10K Drop Earrings I recently purchased from your line. I would love similar earrings in other gemstones, i.e., Larimar, Kyanite, Labradorite, Aquamarine (milky), Blue Adventurine.
CAROL! YOU HAVE CREATED A JEWELRY FIEND! THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE TO THE CROWN SPRING PEAR DROP EARRINGS-I AM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED..IN THE MEANTIME, I LOVE YOUR IDEA ABOUT PRASIOLITE FOR SUMMER! I HAVE YOUR CIRCLE DROP PAVE DIAMOND PRASIOLITE EARRINGS AND THE MOUTH-WATERING MATCHING RING..I WEAR THE RING STACKED WITH TWO PLAT DIAMOND BANDS ON EITHER SIDE.I HAVE A SMALL(TINY)HAND..SO I KEEP IT SIMPLE..ANY IDEAS ON MIXING OTHER STONES WITH THIS SET? OH! THE “O” RING-CAN IT BE SIZD TO A 5?
Carol, I love your work. It’s like wearing art. Months ago, during the holidays you debued an open cuff with tear drop gems. It was gorgeous and although I wanted to purchase it ($1200) I could not afford it. Now I have a tax refund and was wondering if there are any left “in the back” somewhere? Would love to hear if at all possible. Thanks!
First of all, thank you for your beautiful comments. I am most appreciative. When a style sells out from the collection, I try not to bring it back, rather I bring in new styles to complement the original. Keep checking my page on hsn.com – I think that you will have many ideas on how to spend that refund. June is really special! Have a great week! :)
Hi Carol-please please please event price or mark down the crown spring pear drop earrings-I love them and want to buy them…but..please please please lower the price…thank you for reading this.
I love these earrings too! It is up to HSN to adjust prices, so I will share your comments. In the meantime, you may want to look at the prasiolite drop earrings. They are priced VERY well and are the perfect summer earring. Thanks again!
Hi Carol, just received the evil eye pendant in the champagne quartz and I love it! Any chance you will be making these again? I would jump at the chance to own the blue one and maybe any other colored eyes you might make. Thanks Carol, you are my favorite jewelry designer, ever!
Hi Carol, I missed out on the evil eye pendant :(
Can you please, please bring it back? Give us ladies who missed out on it a chance to own this beautiful piece of art.
Thanks Carol!
Carol
I am a victim of credit card fraud and to cancel my credit card. Iwas on waitlist for your diamond cuff and of course it arrived while I was waiting for my new card. Could you please make a few more for HSN? I’m so disappointed that I did not get one.Thanks Irma B/Ozzi
Carol, I love your jewelry so much and have many of your beautiful pieces. The one piece I missed and would so love to have is your gorgeous Crown Ring in the Caribbean Chalcedony in a size 9. Do you think you will ever bring it back? I keep searching every time a see a piece listed on HSN.com but I have not been able to find the color and size I would love to have. Thanks so much! Deborah
I just got the brown evil eye and, of course, now I want the blue.
Will it be coming back in June?
Hi Carol, I love your jewelry, But I really love moonstone, but the only moonstone ring of yours that i like is in gold, would you consider designing one in silver or white gold, also I love love alexandrite which is my all time favorite, any chance you will have some pieces soon. Thanks I will keep ordering…
Carol, Thank you for creating such fabulous Jewelry styles. I love your Capri rings and the new “Summer Capri” ring with the white quartz, amethyst, and onyx. Would you please consider making a version of the ring with a green amethyst center stone, surrounded by chrome diopside, and the black onyx? Also matching earrings would be lovely. Thanks again!
Dear Carol- Thank you for creating the Champagne Quartz & Multigem Sterling Silver Pendant! I just ordered mine! I wrote to you asking if the Evil Eye comes in brown, and you’ve done it beautifully!!! I love the way it matches with the Champagne Diamond “Art Deco” Ring, which I orderded yesterday. Also, I wear the 12ct Olive Quartz 16″ Drop Necklace just about everyday, and these two necklaces will look smashing together! Thank you, Carol! I wish I could give you a hug! Love, Amy XOX
DEAR CAROL,
SOS!!!
MY WONDERFUL GREEN JADE 14K LEVERBACK EARRINGS WERE LOST ON A TRIP TO LOS ANGELES (HSN-490-725) HOW CAN I GET ANOTHER PAIR?????
GRATEFULLY
BARBARA
Thank you for your interest in my “eyes”! I have a completely new style coming out in blue sapphire for my June 19th show… Just wait…. Have a beautiful day!
Carol
I loved your evil eye bangle and it was sold out before I could purchase it. what I would love to see is that same type evil eye diamond work but in a pendant. Are you planning on doing anything like that in the future?
This month my popular evil eye pendant necklace is back. Tune in on Sunday from 4 – 7 or log on to HSN.com to see it. It is fabulous!!! If you love it, call in. I would love to hear from you.
I tuned in because you are my NEW favorite designer. I have 7 of your items and purchased another 3 on Sunday. I already have the Larimar ring and will be looking for the pendant. I have the black rutilated, the snow labradorite, the wood bangle and matching druzy ring, of course both of the Today’s Special rings etc etc.I am a Gemologist/Appraiser with several certifications and am surprised how giddy I get over your jewelry (since I see cool stuff all the time!!) But it’s worth it -thx :)
Please please please bring the blue evil eye back, it sold out before I could buy it!!!
