I remember watching the last Jacqueline Kennedy show and the guest saying he'll be back soon with a new collection... Just had a peek on QVC USA and they have had on the Elizabeth Taylor Jewellery collection, I wonder if this will be the new collection he spoke of (i cannot remember his name now)... some nice pieces i must admit.
 
I used to really enjoy the Jacqueline Kennedy shows, as at least you had a guest who was allowed to get on with the job of presenting the products he represented. I think that he rather sugar-coated (to say the least) the relationships she had with both JFK and Onassis, and it was very romanticised, but he told the stories well. But it was fascinating to see the pictures of her wearing the originals of the items. He had a nice manner too - not harsh and brash. It really felt like a touch of glamour... rather like when Tova does her diamonique shows.

Elizabeth Taylor will be something, I imagine. Her originals will have been more proper jewellery, if the famous items represent what sort of thing we can look forward to, whereas Jackie Kennedy's original stuff it seems was often stylish costume jewellery using base metals and artificial stones (not so much eek as resin or plastic).

JK stuff was overpriced rubbish.

Personally I hated the stories as they were all a pack of who shot John. I don't have any time for any of the Kennedys.
 
Most excited to read that an Elizabeth Taylor Collection will be introduced to the QVC uk customer.
After some research, I am excited the collection includes a simulant of the HUMONGOUS 33 carat Krupp 'type 11a' diamond free of all impurities - (suck on that diamonique)! :mysmilie_19: ring, a gift to Liz from Dick Burton.
However, the discerning QVC customer will receive, probably costing £100+, a sparkling hunk of sumptuous CZ, on a plated metal band, which (according to QVCUSA customer reviews) rusts, what a way to finish an Asscher cut stone, even it it is cz.. should have been 925 sterling at the very least.

If my memory serves me correctly, back in the 1990s QVC in battersea sold a similar ring in diamonique, they called the 'grand ring' which was so huge it flipped and flopped east to west on the finger, until it settled... upside down.:cheeky: those wonderful qvc days one couldn't decide which £79.99 14k gold 30 carat total tennis bracelet to buy - garnet, amethyst, swiss blue topaz or peridot. No chance of that on air now!! -- I digress....(ahem)

*wistful sigh* I wish those days would return! I had many a lovely gem-set 14ct gold item from Q in those days, - all now worth a great deal more than I paid for them.
Can't say I fancy the fake Liz Taylor stuff though, I reckon it will be really tacky.

£543 for a necklace ok no pics but WOW
 
I see one of the items is ear climbers - I don't recall ET ever being associated with them.

Or is this just a case of slapping a name on any old style you want to flog?
 
Hmm just had a look. No images yet and seem to be rhodium plated brass. Don't think so for those prices, bet fingers will be green after a couple of wearing.
 
Lots of coloured glass and the real thing may have been believable on Liz Taylor at a dinner party in Cannes or a film premier in LA but will look cheap and tacky on Mrs Brown paying at the till in Poundland or flashing the glass at a 40th birthday party in the local Working Mens Club.

I watched the JK shows just to listen to the guest, he had such a relaxing voice ... but he never managed to sell me anything. :wink:
