From Harry Winston to HSN: Rarities and Inman

“Rarities” is not something that you think of in the same sentence as the Home Shopping Network. Personally, I think the last thing I would’ve found at HSN is anything “rare”. Yet, Rarities is a new collection of jewelry that has found it’s way to HSN. So just what is this stuff? Rarities is a new line of fine jewelry designed by Carol Brodie. And surprise, Carol used to work at Harry Winston, Inc. When I heard that, my ears immediately perked up. Carol’s collection is a unique blend of top quality and affordable pieces. Her influences include stylish red carpet looks worn by celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Kate Winslet and Reese Witherspoon. Personally, anything good enough for Kate Winslet is alright by me. I am still loving her Grace Kelly look from this year’s Oscars.

A luxury brand expert with years of experience in the jewelry industry, Brodie has collaborated with HSN to bring the best for less to fashionistas who need a little bling. C’est moi. There is no better way to perk up an outfit you’ve had in the closet for awhile than to brighten it up with a new, low priced statement ring, eye-catching cuff or bold necklace. One thing I like about all of HSN stuff is the payment plan for items. Paying in installments does help ease the payment pain. I also like the customer reviews on the HSN site. I like to read what the users think, before I buy. For me, HSN is totally uncharted water. Readers, do any of you shop there? What is your opinion of their items?

One of my best friends recently told me about super model Inman’s handbags and jewelry on HSN, and I have to admit, I love the look of her collection. The watches and bags look gorgeous, and some are clearance priced. Check out the selection, it’s pretty amazing!
