…………………………..I often say that this or that comes from my archives, mostly from my Anne Klein archives….The photos above are from my 1992 Anne Klein Fall look book……If I only saved one of each style of jewelry I had done over my 20 years at AK that would have been a true treasure trove, but alas I never did. What I did save were often pieces Jac wore to special events or pieces she would take away on our many trips…….The black cashmere and span knit dress in the center on Jasmine was one of those dresses Jac wore to a Fashion event. I don’t remember which event, but I know Jac would remember in a second……With the dress she wore the BLACK JET & RHINE STONE FIRE BALL necklace……To another “Red Carpet” event she wore one of the red silk cashmere jersey dresses from the same collection, but not one of the ones above…….I did the Torsade in all of the jewel colors…….Jet Black, Ruby, both shown above, plus Emerald and Sapphire……………………all of which I will be offering to you!……….These are SUPERB pieces that will instantly become collectors items as the original pieces were and are…………I have never seen any of the original pieces sold anywhere…….I hope these make your Holidays a little brighter and definitely more GLAMOROUS!………………………………………………

…………..enjoy……………………………..much Love…………………………Louis

……………………….Another necklace and earring from the 1992 AK Collection , which will come to you as a set, is my “TUXEDO NECKLACE”. I called it my Tuxedo necklace because this is one of the necklaces I showed with my many Tuxedos I did  for Anne Klein……….Christie is wearing it with a plunging silk/cashmere and span knit long dress on the left [which appeared in Vogue. and a wool crepe belted halter midi dress on the right. Please take note of the SILK CADY “WING COLLAR” blouse with ascot and French cuffs. I always loved a wing collar!……..The necklace is a station necklace of Glass faceted Jet beads and Rhinestone Fireball beads. The earring will be similar to the one that Christie is wearing….only shorter……These will also come in all the JEWEL COLORS………………..I know you will find many occasions through out the year to wear these pieces. Try it with a white tee and black jeans and sandals in the summer……There is never a time when a little glamour isn’t a good thing!!!!……………………………………….enjoy……………………….much Love……………………………Louis

……………………The RUBY RED TORSADE, J358185, is an exact replica of the original necklace I did 26 years ago! It has FOUR ROWS of FACETED GLASS BEADS, and twenty four “FIREBALL” crystal beads. It has an extender so you can adjust the length according to what you are wearing. The way it is constructed it will NOT LAY FLAT on the body! PLEASE notice the photo, second in from the bottom at the extreme right. It clearly shows how the beads at the bottom of the necklace fold over each other…..This gives the necklace a very dramatic look……..This is a magnificent necklace, and I am very proud and excited to be able to bring it to you! You will not see anything like this anywhere, and if you ever did it would be in a case in a store like Neimans. The price would be well over $400………just because they can ask anything they want, and it would command the price………………….The STATION NECKLACE and EARRING SET, A358187, is also a direct replica of a necklace and earring I did 26 years ago. The only difference is they were sold separately!…….I call this my….”TUXEDO” necklace, because this is the necklace I showed with the tuxedos I did that year. Of course I did not only use one necklace, but I layered two or three for a very dramatic look. This is a 72 inch long necklace. It has two sizes of Faceted Glass Beads and Fireballs. It to has an extender so you can wear it many ways. At it’s longest length you can wear it FOUR times around the neck………I also showed them cross body the way you would wear a shoulder bag. It takes a women with a lot of confidence and attitude to wear it this way. In ancient times very long necklaces were often worn this way….Many Centuries later, a designer named Fortuny also had his models wear very long necklaces cross body, as the ancient Greeks did………I also LOVE MIXING the TORSADE and the TUXEDO necklaces……….why not!!!…..The earring has a PAVE’ Crystal domed top…..then a faceted glass bead and a fireball stationed on a silver chain. It will be pierced only, and is a very comfortable earring to wear…………The RED of this necklace is rich and deep, and sparkles in a way only Faceted Glass can……..I guarantee these necklaces will draw much attention……….so be prepared when wearing them!……….Since, as of now, my only planned show going forward is a QVC2 show on Nov.8th at 10pm to 12pm, I wanted to let you know jewelry wise…what was coming!………………..enjoy…………………..Happy Holidays……………………………much Love………………………Louis

………………The BLACK JET and CRYSTAL FIREBALL combination is a classic, and has the look of ART DECO…………especially on the Holiday BLACK CRUSHED VELVET TUNIC coming in Nov. with the sequin pant…..for a HIGH VOLTAGE LOOK!!!!…….sorry the pant is sold out!….. I have it also shown worn with the Ivory blouse, A298459, and sequin pant for a beautiful sophisticated cultured look…………………very monied!……….These are pieces I used a lot for my 1992 FALL FASHION SHOW……To say it was a huge success would be an understatement!……A little heads up!………….My January group, 2019 is quite large, and will be the beginning of Spring……I know Spring in January?! That’s the way it goes…….Anyway, there will be a large BLACK & WHITE group that these necklaces will be perfect with!………….Jewelry should almost never be thought of for a specific season or time of day. You can and should make your jewelry work for all seasons, and all occasions!……and Black and White makes it very easy!!……I would love to see a woman wear the Torsade or the Tuxedo necklace with a white tee, a black crop Capri and black patent flip flops!………………………Happy Holidays………………………….much Love……………………….Louis

……………….Have you ever seen a REAL SAPPHIRE FACETED BEAD NECKLACE? It is something to behold. It just reminds us of the magnificence of Mother Nature. Even though artisans cut the beads with exact precision………the fact that these breath taking stones exist is mind boggling……………..I came as close as I possibly could to reproduce the look of faceted sapphire beads.. The BLUE is rich and deep, and the glass sparkles like the original. If these were real you would have to have a body guard with you at all times…..LOL…..At the price they are you can feel very comfortable and safe wearing them with jeans and a blouse or tee……Another heads up…..I will have a pair of Sapphire Blue Ponte pants this spring that will look outrageous with the ivory blouse and the Sapphire Blue necklaces!……………………………..Happy Holidays……………………enjoy…………………….much Love…………………………..Louis
