Default Hello Kitty donut necklace, Zales collection
I've seen the HK stuff on the Zales website (http://www.zales.com/family/index.js...goryId=3363965) and a lot of it is cute (though totally overpriced, but I guess they're going to be cashing in on the market that can't afford KLS's outrageous prices) but I want to see it in person. My Zales store didn't have a clue when it was coming in - anyone know? I'm after some of the stuff where the face is all diamonds, not enamel

This afternoon I was in Sanrio and spotted this:



It's reeeeally cute and they had a few others - I think one was a hershey kiss type of thing, another was a parfait or some sort of ice cream with a strawberry on it and the last one looked like a weird gold ravioli. Any idea if these are part of a collection or if they have other sweets/candies coming out?

ETA: The Zales site just updated and said it's the HK collection by Simmons Jewelry. I'm guessing KLS?

Ooooh I didn't know Zales had a HK collection!!! The KLS collection is far too pricey for my taste so this is a decent alternative (still a little pricey though)! I wear a lot of Tarina Tarantino Pink Head HK jewelry but it's more costumey. I'm so glad to see this stuff at Zales though!

cedes I would think that "Simmons Jewelry Co." is also KLS.. too ironic to share the same name!

I was disappointed to see that it was silver and not white gold :( but I guess I'll take what I can get.

meggy I made the same guess. Maybe her high end line isn't selling as well as she wanted? I think the Zales prices are also a little expensive, especially since it's sterling silver but it's waaay more reasonable than thousands of dollars for one tiny piece!

^^ ITA, I would expect the Zales prices to be somewhat lower considering how her original line is already really really expensive. I would think they would want to appeal to the people who can't afford that--but I don't think a lot of people could afford this line, either. I mean yes, there are diamonds in the rings, but I think maybe they should have looked into using cheaper gemstones to bring the prices under $100. I know they would sell a lot then.

You know what, it says that this jewelry collection of Hello Kitty on zales is from the Simmons Jewelry Co., is that a line or company of KLS? Gosh dang goodness, then why is KLS hello kitty so expensive compared to this...just because it's form zales?

Aqua - the chain is adjustable so I think you could make it anywhere from 16" to 20".

My guess would be, like Meggy's, that Simmons Jewelry Co falls under KLS in one way or another. But I still think it's overpriced, especially because it's Zales and made from sterling silver. I'm not sure about the 1k necklace.. I really want to see this stuff in person as soon as they get it in. The ring that I like looks kind of funny, like the sapphires aren't well placed together on the face. :( But I'm hoping they'll be much cuter in person. Plus 1k can buy a lot of other things, so maybe you should find the stuff at a Zales near you and check it out first. :)

Rebecca - I know you like HK & food stuff and they had a ton of things for Christmas. If you have a Sanrio near you you should go check them out

Cherylc that bracelet is really cute It's really simple and understated since HK is the only thing on there

Thanks! I definitely want to but they closed both of the locations by me! I think my closest one is now South Coast Plaza. Siiigh.
