Happy Mother’s Day - Michele Lau

I want to take a moment to personally invite you to join my Mother, Pat, and me this weekend for our early Mother’s Day Shows. These shows are scheduled from 4 – 6 pm on Saturday (April 26) and 6 – 8 pm on Sunday (April 27). Just in time for you to select the perfect gift – we can even take care of the delivery for you if your Mom lives in a different city or state like mine does!

This continues a tradition for Mom and me. Many years ago, while I was working with another home shopping channel in Tampa, Florida, we co-hosted an event each year on Mother’s Day that was so much fun that we want to bring it here to The Jewelry Channel.

Our early Mother’s Day Show will feature jewelry that you can select for your Mother with guaranteed delivery before Mother’s Day. By planning a little bit ahead, you can select a gift for your Mom that is as special as she is.

Just a reminder not to overlook your Grandmother, Mother-in Law, Stepmother, and anyone in your life that may have been a mother figure or provided support for you over the years. This is a time to show appreciation and love.

I will be presenting the jewelry and my Mom, Pat, will be providing the Mother’s perspective on the pieces. It should be great fun! I am so excited that she is coming to visit us in Austin, Texas. It is a long way from Lake Elmo, Minnesota and I can’t wait to see her.

Please join us from 4 – 6 pm cdt on Saturday, April 26, and 6 – 8 pm cdt on Sunday, April 27. We look forward to helping you select the perfect Mother’s Day gift for your Mom!

Love,

Michele and Pat

Jewelry Channel donates 1% of net sales of Tanzanite today

Dear Friends and Viewers,

On march 28^th 2008, there was a tragedy of epic proportion, a major flood at the Tanzanite mines in Merelani, where many miners lives were lost.

We here at The Jewelry Channel were saddened by this event, and we have decided to lend a hand.

Beginning tonight, at 8pm Central Standard Time, we will launch a 24 hour tanzanite special, and we have pledged to donate 1% of the total proceeds of the entire event to the families of those affected by this tragedy.

Our thoughts and our hearts go out to all of those people who are dealing with the loss of a loved one today. We only hope that something like this will never happen again.

Sincerely,

Dan Dennis

Jewelry Channel Anniversary

TJC has now been on air for one year and what an exciting year it has been. March 21, 2007 was my first day on the job. I had been a news reporter/anchor for many years and I was so excited to start out on a new adventure in home shopping television. I couldn’t have asked for a better company to start that adventure out with. I was thrilled to be a part of bringing fine jewelry to the homes of every American at a price that just about anyone could fit into their budget and what a fun new approach to home shopping with a drop auction format.

For many years I, just like many other Americans, dreamed of owning fine jewelry but the most we could hope for was admiring it from afar but now that has all changed. TJC has incorporated a fun, exciting and affordable approach to home shopping for fine jewelry. I am the type of person who loves to give to others and help others in need and this allows me to do both. Everyday I am able to be a part of giving outstanding prices on fine jewelry and I am also able to maybe provide it to those who otherwise couldn’t own it. I think about those who maybe are disabled and not able to leave their homes but still want to look and feel beautiful. They now can bid in the comfort of their own homes. It doesn’t matter what we look or feel like, when we put on a beautiful new piece of fine jewelry it just really lifts a person’s spirits. That makes me feel good.

It has been a great year of learning all about the different gemstones and how jewelry is made. I have loved it. Some of them I had never heard of before and now I feel I could talk all day about them. How amazing is it that these gemstones came from the earth, are millions of years old and we now get to adorn our bodies with them?

Every day that I come into work I think I am soooo lucky to be a part of such a fantastic company bringing such a fun, affordable concept to America. We have gained so many new family members and I feel like I have gained so many distant friends throughout the year with my regular viewers. I look so forward to many years to come with each and every one of you and I want you to know there are many more great things to come with TJC. Thanks for being a part of the TJC family.

Jewelry Channel Anniversary

April 18, 2008 marks the one year anniversary of the newest and most innovative jewelry shopping channel to hit US air waves! The Jewelry Channel USA offers viewers a unique and interactive experience that has never before been seen in the world of television shopping! Not only does The Jewelry Channel USA boast an enormous selection of fine quality, handcrafted jewelry, and also a blend of beautiful, rare and exotic loose gemstones, but TJC offers its superior products to it's customers at prices far below retail. This ability to price items so low, is a direct result of TJC being a part of one of the world's largest jewelry distributors and has certainly elevated the strain on other shopping channels who have been forced to re-evaluate their business models in order to continue to do business alongside TJC.

As The Jewelry Channel prepares to celebrate it's one year anniversary, it's easy to see why jewelry enthusiasts are hooked! Whether you are shopping for superior quality jewelry at very affordable prices, or maybe you're looking to invest in a high-end piece of luxury jewelry, TJC has it all! This year not only did The Jewelry Channel emerge in the U.S., but it also experienced the launch of it's newest luxury line of jewelry called Rhapsody. While Iliana line boasts eye-clean, G-H nearly colorless diamonds and 18k white and yellow gold, our newest line Rhapsody, features G-H nearly colorless diamonds set in p-p-p-p-platinum!! Besides it's incredible pricing strategy, which offers jewelry below retail and works via a reverse auction, where ALL bidders pay the lowest price, TJC spices up it's jewelry lineup with promotions and offers that bidders cannot refuse! One of these promotions is called "The One to Own," which is a concept that developed at The Jewelry Channel UK, which is celebrating it's two year anniversary April 4th. "The One to Own" is a brand new item the channel previews all throughout the day, giving viewers a chance to bid on it at 8pm central/9pm eastern every night! The Jewelry Channel also offers bidders an incentive to bid early, by giving bidders the opportunity to win free jewelry, via a "breakpoint." A "breakpoint" happens at random, and it rewards a bidder who bids early in the drop auction and it means the lucky bidder is only responsible for paying the shipping and handling charges for the item!

Join me in wishing TJC USA a happy anniversary and congrats on finding television's best kept secret in the world of jewelry, HAPPY BIDDING!!!
