About Tori :

Tori Spelling is a media darling from 90210 and her show Inn Love, but she's also a really talented jewelry designer! One of the exciting things about her collection for HSN is that although she could've created pieces that were ultra-expensive, Tori decided to create baubles that are easy-to-wear and affordable.

How She Got Started with HSN:

I had the chance to ask Tori about her new line of jewelry for HSN, and she told me how the collaboration started. Tori explained: "For the last 5 years I've had a high-end boutique jewelry line called Maven that sells in LA and NYC. The 'Tori Spelling Collection' for HSN came about because I decided that I wanted to be able to share my designs with everyone everywhere at affordable prices, so I went into business with HSN."

Her Inspirations:

Even though she's a busy red carpet fixture, Tori is incredibly hands-on with her line. "I design the line myself. Its very important to me to share pieces with people that I myself want to wear," she said. When asked about what inspires her designs, Tori shared that "Vintage pieces are a huge inspiration for me, and I love goldtone metals with semi precious stones. I love jewelry and believe that it's good for the soul, especially at such affordable prices."

Girl Power:

Not only beautiful to look at, Tori really wants her jewelry to make women feel great. "The right pieces can be a total confidence booster. I'm all about women feeling good about themselves," she said, adding "My pieces can either complement a look or make a look. I wanted women to be able to have that red carpet glam but at very affordable prices. You shouldn't have to break the bank to look amazing!"

Tori's Words of Wisdom:

Since she has been in creative businesses practically her whole life, Tori is really encouraging to other artistically-minded people. She said: "My advice to young designers out there is to follow your dreams. Trust your fashion instinct and never let anyone change your vision. Designing is a true passion and should always remain fun and your vision!"
