Jewelry! One of my favorite subjects!

Who out there in Cyberspace shops for jewelry on JTV? If you don't, you should. They truly have

some great deals on high fashion, high quality gems and if you don't know what to get your loved one for Christmas, you can't go wrong with jewelry.

Tune in to Jewelry Television this Thursday, Nov. 21st at 8pm (est) and Friday, November 22nd at 1pm and 10pm (est) for a very special #Christmas shopping opportunity. Titanic Museum Attraction and Jewelry Television will present an exclusive line of high-quality jewelry, reminiscent of the kinds of pieces actually on the Titanic's maiden voyage 101 years ago.

Click here to get a sneak peek at the collection. 

And, it is an honor to announce that Our 1st Class Titanic Museum Attraction Maid Jamie will be a co-host on both evenings. Jamie will be sharing Titanic stories with JTV's viewing audience. The reason this jewelry collection is special is because it represents specific woman passengers who actually sailed on Titanic. By purchasing one of these pieces, you will be wearing a piece of history. It is a great way to continue to honor the women who sailed Titanic and a great way to pass on the history of Titanic so that she is never forgotten.
If you have purchased Titanic Jewelry on JTV, I would love to hear from you. What did you purchase and why? Were you pleased with your purchase? Have you been able to share Titanic history with your friends and family because you are wearing one of our pieces?

I will be online during both evenings this week. Follow me on Twitter @TitanicUSA to talk about each piece as it is presented.



Talk soon!
