Jewelry Television and Charles Winston: Moissanite Jewelry for Jewelry Fest

Well, I am on my way to JTV! I am sitting on my flight to Knoxville from Las Vegas and I could not wait until arriving to write this blog. The excitement is overwhelming!

Your response to the Moissanite Fire® jewelry collection has allowed JTV to increase our amount of airtime and the number of new products…and you seem to like the newness that I bring to you on a regular basis. Well, this visit is no different.  We have over TWENTY brand new items, NEW GREEN Moissanite Luisant™ items, and lots of “back in stock” items which means they are back by popular demand. And as a Jewelry Fest special--jtv.com item number MSF001, our #1 item (the 1st item of Moissanite Fire created) the 1-carat twt 5mm round moissanite studs on a HUGE special purchase price (probably, never to be repeated this year at this price.)

We have great time slots for my FOUR, 2-hour shows. Whether you are on the West Coast, East Coast or somewhere in the middle (including AK and HI), there is a time slot that is perfect for you. In addition, I have a 15 minute segment on Thursday morning during the 7AM show to preview a few of the items you will see during Friday’s shows. Try to tune in at 7AM EDT on Thursday to JTV to get in on the sneak peek , “Preview” show.

The four shows & Preview Show are as follows; ALL TIMES SHOWN ARE EASTERN TIME ZONE!
