Can We Talk Silver Jewelry?

Following in her mother Joan’s footsteps, Melissa Rivers has created a line of silver jewelry that recently made its debut on QVC. Rivers has had a hand in designing each of the 24 pieces (most range from $26.50 to $85), including a heart band ring loosely modeled on her own wedding band.

We caught up with Rivers to get the scoop on her shining new endeavor.

Question: Why QVC?

Answer: QVC has been extremely supportive of my mom. She has a huge following with them. I’m now a division of my mom’s jewelry company, and shoppers know they’ll get the same quality.

Q: Is silver too young for some women to pull off?

A: White metals (silver, white gold, platinum) are a big deal now. The stigma of silver being young is going away. You can get the same great design at such a lower cost.

Q: Do you have a favorite piece?

A: Today my favorite is a pair of little flower earrings, but I wear all of them. My favorite is whichever one my hand touches.

Q: What do you see as the hottest trends in jewelry today?

A: Mixed metals. White metals (for their versatility). Very delicate Indian, Raj-type pieces. Freshwater pearls in really unusual colors. The colors are changing from pink and blue to lavender, orchid and especially green.
