A Time to Celebrate Love & Gems
Tune in to HSN on Saturday, April 21st from 2 a.m. to 5am; and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., to shop my April Rarities Collection.
April has always been such an exciting month for me. It’s is a time for renewal, warm weather, new trees and flowers blooming. It’s a time to celebrate my birthday, Easter, Passover and spend time with family. April officially signals the end of winter and the excitement of longer, warmer days. I also start thinking more about my mother – time to start planning how to celebrate my mom! Here is a picture from Mother’s Day last year. My mother is insanely beautiful and she shows us every day how much she LOVES us. I created this “Love” pendant for her and for you!
I could not resist scouring the global marketplace for the most exquisite American Turquoise and African Blue Lace Agate. They are the perfect gems to welcome the warm weather and add a pop of color to any outfit. I’ve given you brand-new styles of my favorite talismans. Wait until you see the new evil eye, hamsa, crescent moon and star! These will make such a statement this season and are wonderful gifts for Mother’s Day, graduation or just to say, “I love you!”
This month diamonds play an important role, as they are April’s birthstone – and what would any Aries girl want for her birthday? Diamonds, of course! So, when I designed my birthday present this year I had the atelier create a few extra for you. This is 2.0-carats of champagne diamonds that look like antique lace. I am truly blessed to have been able to receive this ring. It’s feminine, comfortable, wearable and so incredibly chic.
I look forward to sharing my collection with you on April 21st from 2 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. I hope you love April as much as I do, and that you too will fall in love with my newest Rarities!

Carol,
Thank you for you beautiful designs,I enjoy watching your programs & am proud to wear your pieces. I’ve heard you say numerous times that you don’t bring back designs-hense the “Rarity” of it all. However,
please consider bringing back the diamond moonstone bracelet it was snapped out of my shopping cart before I was able to pull the trigger and finalize my purchase! SOOOO sad!!! I loved the subtle-neutral color. PLEASE,you have a large audience,perhaps a double chain? will allow reorder!
Hi Carol! Watched all your shows on Sunday and bought 3 new pieces to add to my Rarities collection. I love your jewelry and I do feel like your my personal designer. With that said – please BEG!!! HSN to reorder your Champagne Diamond and Black Onyx Sterling Silver Bracelet. I’ve been on the lookout waiting for it to reappear – but no luck. Anyway, please don’t change as a person. You are beautiful inside and out.xoxo. You really make us feel like we’re truly your girlfriends.
Carol….I am so excited about the Gold Watch you are bringing us, soon I hope. Every time you wear it I admire it. When you said you are bringing it to us with Diamonds during your afternoon show. I got so excited. I am so glad you decided to do it with Diamonds because nothing sparkles like Diamonds and you are the Queen of Diamonds! Woo Hoo. Can’t Wait! I Love your jewelry and you are so much fun to watch with your passion. All your hard work is apparent. You are a Rock Star! :)
Wow! What a beautiful message. Thank you so much!! Lots of gorgeous things coming… every month will bring something so new and exciting. Thank you for loving and supporting me… It means the world to me!!! See you on June 14th for my TS. xox
Hi Carol,
I watched all of your shows from 2:00 AM until 9:00PM and enjoyed them all. Although I wanted one of everything, I treated myself to the peach moonstone necklace. I absolutely ADORE you and your jewelry and I’m already looking forward to June. I tried to call in but couldn’t get through. I’ve gotten to the point where all I wear is your jewelry and none of my other things! Looking forward to all you have in the future. Many, many, many thanks. xoxoxo Melissa
hi Carol :
I can’t tell you how much I love your jewelry, I am so hook on them I ordered some pieces today, And I wanted to order the black spinel with a sapphire cross but it was sold out, I love it so much can you bring it back please by the way I requested the art deco earrings and you brought them back thank you very much, so now I have the ring and the earrings , I can’t tell you how many compliments I get every time I wear them….thank you and keep the good work.
carol brodie,you are featuring(5/20) show 100 inch strand of baroque pearls,are they individually knotted,what are they strung on, are they graded,can you describe the lustre,i am interested in the white?usually you describe an item at length?? #173-020 thanks, barbara k.
Hi there, The 100 inch strand of baroque pearls are cultured fresh water pearls from China. We described the beautiful lustre and luminosity on-air. These are real pearls in a fashion forward design. If you are going for the finest quality, may I suggest that you take a look at the one of a kind pieces on HSN.com that I am currently offering. It sounds like you are a real connoisseur so I would guess you want the very best one of a kind designs. Have a beautiful evening xo
Hi Carol,
I recently lost my favorite Rarities ring. .97 ct. Colors Of Diamond
Criss Cross Band Ring. I would really like to replace this ring. Any
Assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
I am so sad that you lost this amazing ring… Unfortunately the design is retired and completely sold out. We have some phenomenal new designs — I hope that you can find one that you will love as much as your other ring. Thank you so much for writing and being in touch. Please look out for my diamond TS in July… I think you may just fall in LOVE! xo
Hi Carol, I’m looking forward to your shows this weekend. I received and LOVE the hamsa “egg” pendant. It’s the most beautiful and unique hamsa I have ever seen. I’m anxiously awaiting 2 things from you: an om and also the debut of your beautiful blouses. I know you said they would be coming this fall, do you know exactly what month? Keep up the great work and I’ll be watching on Sunday. xoxo Melissa
Hi honey,
The blouses are on hold until 2013 — I am so busy working on all of the accessories which will launch next Fall 2012, Your OM is on its way… hang tight. I love that egg hamsa… I have that coming back with some wonderful new surprises. Thanks for your love and friendship — I know how much you care and it means the world to me. xoxoxx
Carol, I could not order quick enough for item 164079 Rarities Champagne Diamond & Black Onyx Bracelet & got on the wait list but one did not come in & order was canceled. Please ask HSN to get more!!
Look at the new ones that we just added…Rarities: Fine Jewelry with Carol Brodie Gemstone and Diamond Macrame Shambala 5-1/2″ Bracelet Item: 185-702. They are the newest version and so chic! See you tomorrow, Sunday from 1-4pm and 7-9pm. xo
Carol, well wasn’t fast enough for those either, however I am back on wait list again for the 164079 Rarities Champagne Diamond & Black Onyx Bracelet so hopefully one will come in!!
Carol….please check your blogs…..we only have 3 weeks in which to return the london blue if you cant send a stone to fix it!!!
Thanks, Lacy
Hi Carol,
I was thinking it would look very pretty to make a ring just like the lower, elongated oval part of the Blue Chalcedony and Champagne Diamond Earrings #171-090. Just an idea…
Sincerely,
Amy
Carol…on your last visit my mother fell in love with the 52kt London blue ring surrounded by black spinial. I ordered one for her for mothers day. Then picked up one for myself!!They are simply wonderful. However, when they arrived my mothers(size7) was missing one black spinial stone. They sold out and she loves the ring so if I return it she will not have one!Since they were over 1000.00 dollars each…is there any way to get on stone sent to me, then I can have my jewlery store replace it?
I just saw your post. I am so sorry that a stone was missing… that rarely happens as every piece is checked for quality control. I unfortunately do not have a stone to send you for that ring. May I suggest that you bring it to your jeweler and ask what can be done. I am sure that HSN will allow you to return if it can’t be fixed. I am sooo sorry… it is such a magnificent ring! If you live in NY, I would have my jeweler fix it. xx
I would return it but…they have none to replace it with…is there any chance you will bring this back in the future. She loves the ring and I hate to take it from her…but for that price it should have all the stones( black spinial)My jeweler said he can repair it but needs the exact size stone to replace it…which he does not carry. Do you have ANY size 6 or 7 left in NY??
Thanks again, Lacy
Hi Carol,
I have a few pieces of yours and I enjoy wearing them. I came across your blog and I realized that I completely missed the champagne diamond lace ring! I was wondering if you were going to bring this piece back?
Hi Carol,
I ordered using the automated ordering system and ordered the earrings and ring set of your Tourmaline/WhiteTopaz. Got my package today and I received two pairs of earrings instead of the ring. Was wondering when you are going to make more of the rings? In size 6 please….
Thanks,
~Marian~
I am sorry that HSN made a mistake with your order-they are usually so great. I have no doubt that the ring will come back in stock (although, I do not know exactly when). Please keep checking HSN.com. I also would suggest you call HSN Customer Service to let them know what happened and see if they can help. Sometimes miracles do happen. Thanks for loving Rarities and for your continued support. XX
Hi Carol,I’m the one that begged you to bring back the stainedglass window earrings.I also asked about the pendant I saw a few months ago.Well I ordered all of them as soon as they showed up and WOW did you deliver!These are even better because the light shines through with the open back.Thank you for remaking them,D
I always listen to great ideas and suggestions and I am beyond appreciative that you took the time to suggest that I bring the earring back. It was so much fun making a new version. Thrilled that you love your new Rarities. I will see you on May 21st from 2-4pm and 7-9pm. xoxo
The love pendant is so nice my sisters and I wear ours together for mothers day.
Hi Carol,
I loved your shows today, I watched all of them. I ordered the hamsa egg necklace and can’t wait to get it. You know that I LOVE all of your jewelry and always add more every show. I probably have about 40-50 pieces now. It becomes such a dillema to decide what to wear every morning! Keep up the great work and keep the talismans coming!
xoxo Melissa
So, I stayed up all night being enamered by your jewelry and the stories you weave around each piece of jewelry. You, my fellow ARIES,are a teacher the world needs bearing jewels with meaning and spirituality, with the ability to help us get through our days with help the earth gives us, and the way you weave it all together. I own the art deco ring in champagne and blue diamonds. I have worn it for five years, everyday. It gives me joy just staring into it and the compliments flow.5 new today!
Thank you so much for your message. I can not tell you how much joy I get when I know that women are hearing and feeling the stories and also loving the style of my jewelry. This is my greatest passion and you and my customers are my greatest gift! There is nothing like sparkling jewels and brilliant friendships. Thank you — I hope to see you tomorrow, Sunday May 20th from 1-4pm and 7-9pm. Lots of love, Carol
Carol,your programs today were gorgeous. I’m a bit bleary-eyed from that 2 – 5 a.m. time slot but it was worth it. I always learn so much watching you and my collection of Rarities continues to grow. I can’t wait to get the tourmaline pendant necklace, my birthstone. I didn’t love them until you brought Rarities to HSN but now I wear something tourmaline every day. Also ordered the evil eye “egg” necklace. Love your beautiful spirit, Carol, and how it infuses all your jewelry.
I recently lost my Rarities 92, ct Color of Diamonds Criss Cross Band
ring(HSN) item # 103-806, This ring was my all-time favorite and I would like to replace it. Is the ring coming back to HSN? Please Advise.
Sincerely
Julie
Hi Julie,
I am sorry that you lost this ring… it is a favorite of mine as well. As with most Rarities, I rarely ever bring back anything. The brand is about continuing to bring fresh, new, innovation in gems and rarity in design. I am sure though that if you keep an eye on HSN.com, you will find a new Rarity that will become your favorite. My July TS will amaze you. See you in May 20th from 1-4pm and 7-9pm. xo
