“BIG ANNOUNCEMENT”

Many of you have noticed that the SILVER ANNIVERSARY HOOP EARRING is back under a new style number. It is the exact same earring as before made by the same Italian manufacturer, and will still coordinate with all of your “ALL YOU HAVE TO BE IS WONDERFUL” group!…..All of the silver jewelry is posted and on SALE for the SILVER EVENT!!!!!…….Now the story….As you all know the Linea line is winding down though there are still fabulous items to be had. After my trip to Africa all of the Masaai and Samburu group is looking better than ever! ……The silver/gold jewelry manufacturer was very disappointed in the decision to stop making the jewelry since we were starting to grow a nice new Sterling silver and Sterling silver with gold plate business. Many of the pieces sold out and were reordered. The owner of the company approached me and asked if I would be interested in going forward with this line of jewelry…….I discussed it with Cathy, my partner in crime so to speak, and she thought it would be a great idea…….I’M BACK IN THE JEWELRY BUSINESS!!!!!!!You all know I LOVE DESIGNING, and this way I can still do what I love. I can also offer you the finest jewelry out of Italy. This has always been my passion and my passion will never die…. It will only be as successful as you all make it, and I’ll always love designing for you!…..I LOVE the new designs we are developing……The Anniversary Hoop is the first item to come through. For me they are the best hoop around. They have presence without being overdone. They are MODERN , but still can be worn with anything as an everyday earring…..and……..they will make an INCREDIBLE GIFT for someone very special in your life!….I hope you are all happy with this new turn of events…..I wasn’t looking to do anything….it just came to me which is the way my entire career has been………………enjoy………much Love…….Louis

    I always enjoy your Facebook shows. I hope when your new jewelry comes in you will do more Facebook shows. I have purchased items after seeing your shows that I totally discounted from photo’s on QVC website.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Joanne, we are planning to, but when I don’t know

  2. Carolyn M (Texas)

    Louis! Great news to hear your creative gift will continue.

  3. Michelle

    Oh happy day! This is wonderful news, Louis. When I saw the earrings being offered on QVC, I thought that someone had likely gone into the warehouse, opened a box and found the earrings that had gotten lost in the shuffle, so to speak, as you’ve said has happened in the past. I am so looking forward to seeing your new offerings. My credit card is ready to get a workout! Lol.

  4. Joanne C

    I am most looking forward to your silver and gold clad necklaces. When do you think your new jewelry will start apoearing?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I have not received any schedule yet. Most of the pieces are still in development.

  5. Joanne C

    Will the new silver and gold glad jewelry bare the Linea name? If not, how will we know which designs are yours?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      As of now they will be Linea, however I would prefer to drop Linea and just use Louis Dell’Olio. That will be up to QVC. They may not want tom introduce a “new” vendor name which it would be.

      1. TourEiffel (Ann)

        Fabulous news!! Can’t wait to see your new designs!

  6. Carolyn Muse

    Dear Louis, So happy to hear this news. I love all of your jewelry. I have the silver and gold pieces so elegant and beautiful. I am happy to hear that more jewelry in this line is to come. Congratulations!

  7. Joanne C

    I purchased the sterling anniversary earrings as well as your sterling bracelet. I love both! Both the earrings as well as the bracelet are substantive and classy. I am looking forward to your new designs in sterling and gold plated.

    On another front I wore yesterday your cobalt blouse without the scarf, your soectacular glitterati cobalt and black necklaces with your Linea black blazer and Linea straight leg pants. I copied your styling from Jennifer – a sensational flattering professional outfit. My question – will you be doing additional beaded jewelry?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I’m not doing any “fashion” jewelry at all so probably not.

  8. Susan (CarlyTwila)

    This is fabulous news!!!! I have another idea that perhaps new leadership might entertain…..if they analyzed the top clothing items over the last 20 years, could they not just repeat some (same design/manufacturers), as a staple line? Whisper knits, ponte knits – your classic basics? My beautiful jackets depend on these pieces 😁

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Nice thought Susan, but Elaine has closed her business and is in Florida golfing with her husband. I would never consider doing anything without her supervising, and that’s is not QVC’s direction. It’s all about inexpensive leisure clothes.

  9. Cathy in PA

    Ooh, Louis we are DELIGHTED for you, as well as your devoted Linea Jewelry ladies!!! Much joy will come from this, and we can’t wait to see how your travels influence your designs 🙂 Walter is giving me a bit of a side eye and wondering what this news might cost him, but he thinks he can live with it, since it’s “For Louis” LOL. I too would love to see some rose gold if it’s feasible. Cheers,
    Cathy in PA … and the ever lurking Walter 😉

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Rose gold may be something in the future, but for now we are keeping the assortment tight with Sterling and Gold plated Sterling. Say hi to Walter!

      1. clarika

        Oh, this is the best news!! I am so excited and eagerly await your offerings. THANK YOU

    I own your anniversary hoop earrings! They are unique and so lovely. Such good news! I have been buying your stuff since you and Donna Karan were co designers.

  11. sunbluesea

    I AM SO THRILLED to hear this news!!! I enjoy your shows from your house with Kathy so much more than any QVC show. Not to take away from the beautiful models and lovely hosts, but there is no rush on with you and Kathy as producer/director!! You are able to show your exquisite, genius designs YOUR WAY! Thank you for caring about QUALITY for your customers. You are a treasure to us;)

  12. Lois Patrick

    Dear Louis,
    So happy to hear you will still design and items will be available to us. I just purchased the earrings and was very happy to get them. Congratulations!
    Lois

  13. Bobbie

    I could not be happier with this news!!

  14. SEYMA LEHRER

    Oh happy day, more Italian jewelry! I would love to buy: Tessere bracelet, San Marco (large) bracelet, art form earrings and bracelets. I left a gold bracelet in Paris and decided to never travel with gold again. To have the great classics of Italian jewelry
    in sterling and sterling gold plate would be a dream come true.
    And now the award for bravery to the two women who chased out the monkeys from your bedroom. That is some kind of chutzpah.

    Dear Louis, please tell us where we can see your designs? I especially wish you made the whisper knit sweaters. Love your work. Thank you.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      I am only doing this jewelry line and it will still be sold at QVC

  16. Sylvia

    Wooo Hooo! I have the silver. They are GREAT! I just bought the gold. I vote for Rose Gold also!

  17. Pamela DiMarino

    Fantastic news! I can’t wait for your jewelry. How will we purchase them? Much love to you!

  18. Ginny

    This is great news but I’m a little confused. Will your new jewelry pieces be sold on QVC or somewhere else?
    Wherever you are going to sell your jewelry, I will follow!
    Congratulations!
    Ginny

  19. Elaine

    Couldn’t be happier to hear this great news Louis!
    Looking forward to your new arrivals!
    Congratulations!
    Elaine

  20. Irene

    Dear Louis, I am so happy to hear the good news !!! I can just imagine how much your design juices were flowing during your African safari.
    Looking forward to seeing the results !!!
    Good luck on your new adventure !!!
    Best regards, Irene

    Louis, such WONDERFUL News! So exciting! Can’t wait to see your Jewellery Sneak Peeks!
    There’s also a new boss at the Q – David Rawlinson – you never know what else could happen!
    Seka.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Seka I am so out of the QVC loop. Is Mike George out? It seems to me that they keep pulling away from the original concept of what I knew QVC to be. It’s all about mass market and making things for their profit only which means the manufactures are being more and more squeezed, which means the quality must suffer.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I wonder if he really retired or was forced to retire????

  22. Angela

    Congratulations!!!!

  23. Bev in Illinois

    Dear Louis, I have both colors in this earring….love them. I am so happy that you are able to continue doing what you love and we reap the benefits of it. Please consider doing this earring in rose. I hope QVC will add your line to programming when they have their big jewelry shows. Thanks for doing this for us. As David Venable says HAPPY DANCE!!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Bev….it will not get airtime. They only put on air products they buy themselves that they must sell or be stuck with the inventory. They will not own the jewelry.
