……….I’ve hinted about it…..we’ve discussed it, and now your saw glimpses of it on the models on my last show………so……here it is, the sneak peek of………………..THE SCHOOL OF FISH NECKLACE J321801………..It may look like silver in the photos, but it is GOLD….and for now it will only be avail in………..GOLD………………The necklace is 42 inches long and has FIVE FISH “caught” on the chain. As with the pendant, each fish is totally articulated, and as the pendant there are eyes on both sides…..so if it flips or a portion of it turns it doesn’t matter, both sides are finished. The workmanship is superb, and it is made just like the pendant. I will not hide the fact that the necklace is pricy, but I think very fair considering that there is a great deal of work to create this necklace…..Each fish has to be plated and finished. The eyes have to be glued in by hand, and hand polished….it is very time consuming just to make one piece. This is a unique necklace designed by me so you will find absolutely nothing like it….unless mine is copied!…..I think you can get a good idea in the photos of the proportion of the necklace by seeing the smaller fish next to the larger pendant. You naturally can wear it on its’ own…..or for a truly WOW effect…..you can wear both together….The Mommie and her baby fishes!!……There are lots of Linea pieces that will coordinate beautifully with the new School of Fish necklace…..maybe you own some already…..The BOLD HOOP, J288005…… the SWIRL earring J284033…..the DEMI HOOP J270391…..the CURB LINK CHAIN HOOP J267610…….the PANTHER LINK WATCH j273959….the ENAMEL CHAIN LINK WATCH J277885…..the FISH BONE BRACELET J278130, which looks fantastic combined with either watch, and is made just like the bones in the pendant…… and of course the  FISH PENDANT J278128………..If you already own the Fish Pendant….then the School of Fish necklace is a must have. You already know the comments you get just from wearing the pendant…..wait until you are wearing both…..There will be a tidal wave of compliments coming your way…….but……you will have to wait until the end of May……just in time for Bikini season!!!!…………………………………………………………………………………………………enjoy…………………..much Love……………………..Louis

………………………You have now seen these three necklaces on the models a few times, and many of you have already purchased the Sage Dew Drop necklace and Earring set, J320890, and the Signature Linea Logo necklace. This is a reminder that the new BEAD and SIGNATURE LOGO necklace, J321802 should be avail to complete the look by the end of this month. Of course, as you can see from the photos above, it is a necklace that stands on its’ own, and looks equally well worn long or doubled. You can experiment, and even try the sage Dew Drop enhancer hanging from the doubled necklace. Layering necklaces is not new….it’s been going on for centuries. Portraits of Kings and Queens, such as Elizabeth the First shown with ropes of pearls and gems….. and who can not be impressed with the famous jewels worn by Maharajas and Maharanis……and you thought it all started with Coco Chanel!….Well this layering may not be as elaborate as Elizabeth the First, but our life styles today….and budgets!..call for a simpler form of  layering….LOL …… but it’s still just as impressive…………….enjoy…….much Love………Louis

How many of you own Linea Pink garments and are always looking for just the right PINK necklace or necklaces to wear. I think the new Bead and Linea Charm necklace may be just the answer. I know it certainly has worked for me when putting the “looks” together. Again, it can be as much of a presence as you desire……delicate or powerful a look by just adding the Dew Drop and solid Signature Charm necklaces…..No matter what your style….it can work for you………..enjoy……..much Love…….Louis

…………….STATEMENT SWEATERS in your wardrobe are the “cherry” on top of the cake. Yes, the basic unadorned sweaters are your core pieces that you wear everyday, but on those occasions when you really want to pull out all the stops and look your absolute best….even if it’s just going to lunch with the girls….or shopping in the mall [you never know who you will bump into]…..these are the pieces you reach for…………..The new SCOOP NECK WK SHORT SLEEVE….WAIST WHITTLING SWEATER, A265575, is such a piece. The magic to this sweater is the FAUX PLACKET FRONT with the  SIX LINEA SIGNATURE BUTTONS. The placket is real in every aspect except one….it does not open. This prevents any possibility of GAPING….I know this is a feature that women who are large on top will appreciate. The Whisper Knit sweater is in a jersey stitch so it is lighter in weight than the Every Needle Rib…..more appropriate for spring /summer. This sweater also features the WAIST WHITTLING RIBS that so many of you find figure flattering. The ribs are not TIGHT, so even if your waist line is not your best feature, this should not have a negative effect….The sweater is approx. 24 INCHES for the size XXS…..so each size up will be a little longer……The first color, shown above, is WHITE with GOLD buttons. It is featured with the NAVY WK PANT and the NAVY ENR CARDIGAN, A259706 with the  same GOLD Signature buttons, A259706…………The SIGNATURE LOGO NECKLACES, J320468 are not an exact copy of the buttons, and that was done on purpose. I wanted to emulate the button, but not match it…..much more interesting that way. The SIGNATURE EARRING, pierced only, J320884, also emulates the button and the necklace, but again is not a direct match to either…..they just all work and coordinate together………The ENAMEL & GOLD WATCH, J277885, is a wonderful compliment to create the finished look…….This sweater looks just as wonderful over jeans as it does over a pencil skirt…..so no matter what your lifestyle….this is a piece that can work for you…………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………….enjoy………………………………..much Love…………………………………………Louis

…………..The second color to be featured in this new SCOOP NECK SHORT SLEEVE SWEATER is………………………..RASPBERRY…………..and the Raspberry comes with SILVER SIGNATURE BUTTONS…..Naturally, I have accessorized with the SIGNATURE LOGO necklaces and earrings in SILVER, though you could combine the silver and gold necklace, which would still look wonderful……..Ivory crepe trousers….navy, black or gray would all look just as good…….I’d love it with the black and silver grey PINSTRIPE PANT & JACKET too……. Raspberry is a beautiful accent color, definitely in the “cool” family, that will work with many things you already own…..It’s definitely the cherry on top…..or in this case the “RASPBERRY”……………………………………………………………….enjoy……………………..much Love……………………………..Louis
