………………………This is a beautiful group of special jewelry pieces from my Anne Klein Archives…..starting with the EIGHT ROW NECKLACE. It has Faceted Glass Black Jet, combined with the Ivory Baroque Pearls, and the Pave Crystal balls which are called “FIREBALLS”….a fun name! The style number for the necklace is, J358186……In the photos I cheated and used two necklaces, because I like a very chunky look. That’s sixteen rows, which I understand for many would be too much. Really one necklace, on its’ own, is very beautiful!!!! The pierced earring, J387786, is sold separately…It has a Pearl cap, three small jet beads, and a Baroque pearl [that matches the necklace ] at the bottom………………The stretch BRACELET, J387785, is sold separately, and has FIVE rows of Black Faceted Jet Beads, and Ivory Seed Pearls. There is a center SILVER clean bar dividing the pearls from the jets. It is meant to be worn with the silver bar in the center of the wrist so you see half pearl and half jet……….This is truly a SEASON-less group of jewelry. I have a group of Black and White pieces coming for Spring 2019 in Jan. that these jet and pearl pieces will look fantastic with….so do not think of this as strictly Holiday jewelry……..It will look fabulous on a red sweater and ivory pants come spring……or any color for that  matter………Most jewelry is meant to be worn ALL YEAR for any or no occasion!……………Now sure when it will be avail…..but it has been delivered!…………..enjoy…………..much Love……………..Louis

……………………………This pendant, J387777, comes from the Anne Klein archives, and it is an exact replica. The style is Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is know for curving patterns, and lines. There were no hard edges or angles associated with Art Nouveau……That look came later with Art Deco in the 20s and 30s. Art Nouveau was very popular starting about 1890, through the turn of the century to about 1910. If you have ever been to Paris many facades of buildings were done in the Art Nouveau style. Even the famous Metro [subway], has beautiful Art Nouveau  swirling arches with the Metro sign at its’ entrance….. The pendant has a large resin, rounded, and bombed disc with an open center, in which the metal swirls are inserted. The chain keeper reminds me of rams horns. The metal decorative stations, on either side, are in keeping with the Art Nouveau patterns. It has a good weight to it…not too heavy, but not flimsy. You know you are wearing something good. This will be avail in Gold and Black [center] and Silver and black [bottom right and left]. The Gold is on the mannequin to the left and the silver is on the mannequin to the right. I have found this pendant to be just the right piece when accessorizing the looks. It’s not too dressy, but it has a strong presence……….This should be avail. this month, but I never know when these on line only items get processed…………….It would make a beautiful Holiday present……………………………enjoy…………………………much Love……………………….Louis

Fratelli Orsini, on Amazon Prime has a wide range of cashmere lines gloves….a beautiful rich red and lots of colors….olive, cognac, grey, brown and all different shades of wine. They are called the “Everyday Gloves”, and are a little less money then the Portolano gloves.

Check out at the Rue LaLa site for “Portobello” [manufactures name], Red cashmere lined leather gloves. The red is perfect. They used to make gloves for me for my shows at Anne Klein in custom colors. I’ve also seen them on ebay and they are probably on Amazon…The red is great, and they do have many colors.

I’ve already heard back from Elaine and she said she will definitely get them replaced!!! I told you she was on the case!!! Now just be patient!!!!
