The president of the first daughter's brand
of companies,Abigail Klem last night confirmed to The New York Times that Ivanka Trump Fine
Jewelry is being discontinued. Instead, the company will focus its
efforts on costume jewelry, with a more accessible price point.
The
fine jewelry line, whose website featured black and white portraits of
Trump modeling her pieces, encompassed rings, bracelets, pendants,
earrings and necklaces.
On the high-end is a woven diamond necklace for
$19,500, and the lower side, a simple rose gold ring with a price tag of
$940.
The demise of the fine jewelry line
shouldn't necessarily be viewed as a failure -- in retail, it's much
more difficult to sustain a select number of expensive "special
occasion" pieces than it is to mass market more affordable fake gems.
Klem
told The New York Times that the brand is now committed to "offering
solution-oriented products at accessible price points."
