WEST CHESTER, Pa., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Acclaimed recording artist
and American Idol judge Paula Abdul has a new title to add to her
impressive resume - successful jewelry designer. Introducing her new Paula
Abdul Jewelry Collection, Abdul is scheduled to appear live on QVC on
Friday, April 21, 2006 in two one-hour shows airing at 1 AM and 9 PM ET.
Abdul originally began designing jewelry as gifts for her Idol
ingenues. Inscribed with inspirational words and symbols, her pieces
reflect the encouraging spirit and endearing positive attitude Abdul
herself is known for. Working with QVC, Abdul is now offering her signature
designs to a nationwide audience. The new collection consists of multiple
charms, pendants, earrings and bracelets in a mix of textures and metals,
many adorned with meaningful phrases.
"I've been blessed with the opportunity to watch so many talented
artists follow their dreams and achieve things they never thought
possible," says Abdul. "I wanted to give a piece of that hopeful spirit
back to the world with fashionable keepsakes that are both inspiring and
stylish. Bringing this collection to QVC is the realization of one of my
own personal dreams and I am so excited."
Replicating Abdul's versatile, fresh sense of style, the Paula Abdul
Jewelry Collection, created especially for QVC, ranges in price from
approximately $20.00 to $90.00. Abdul will launch 26 pieces from the line
in the April debut, with a follow-up show featuring additional items
planned for May 2006. Both the 1 AM ET and 9 PM ET shows on April 21 are
slated to be broadcast in front of a live studio audience from QVC's Studio
Park headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
"Paula's fun-loving spirit and passion for motivating people to draw on
their own positive energy is beautifully captured in her jewelry," says
David Markstein, director of jewelry merchandising for QVC. "I've enjoyed
working with Paula to bring this collection to QVC and am looking forward
to seeing her connect with our customers as she debuts her new designs."
Launching on April 21, 2006, the Paula Abdul Jewelry Collection will be
available through QVC at 800.345.1515 or http://www.QVC.com.
