Tori Spelling is a very busy woman. As a wife, mother, actress, producer, reality star, and innkeeper, Tori gives new meaning to multitasking. And now she has another job to add to her impressively eclectic résumé: She’s launching her second line of jewelry on the Home Shopping Network. Tori chats with Glam about her designs, family life, and a few of her favorite things.
How did you first become involved with the Home Shopping Network?
I've had a high-end jewelry line called Maven sold in L.A. and New York boutiques for the past four years. I love and am proud of my designs but wanted to make them affordable and available for everyone everywhere to have. So I partnered with HSN and that became a reality.
Tell me about the process of designing the collection.
I design my collections, which consist of pieces I personally want to wear but couldn’t find in stores. I sketch my designs and am often inspired by vintage pieces I’ve collected over the years. I also like to work and design with metals. The weight of each piece is important to me, and the quality is my first priority. I love bold pieces that can complement an outfit or make it.
If you had to pick one favorite piece from the new collection, what would it be and why?
My favorite piece from my October collection is the turquoise and
gold snake set. I think snakes are currently hip and in but also add a vintage look. So the pendant and matching ring are very bold and different yet very wearable. Rings are always fun to wear, to add pizzazz to any outfit.
You debuted the first collection on HSN in July. It was a big success and sold out in minutes. What was the best part of doing the live broadcasts?
The best part of doing the live broadcasts on HSN is knowing I am connecting with women across the country and that I am able to make my dream come true by sharing all my inspirations and designs with them. The response is instant, and I love being able to take calls from customers. I also love hearing what they think of my designs and what they respond to best.
