The Honora Blog
For the past 10 years our QVC UK audience has grown to know Ralph as our host for The Honora Collection. He has been working for Honora for over 20 years, originally starting his jewelry career in Honora’s colored-stone division called Kuhns. This extensive gemstone experience has been invaluable towards making Ralph into the expert in Freshwater Pearls that he is today.
Ralph started out in the world of Film and Television and this background has been a major asset helping lead Honora in its advertising campaigns featured in the New York Times as well as magazines such as In Style, Elle and Town & Country. Upon Honora’s company commitment to Freshwater Pearls, Ralph coined our tag line “A Fresh New Look At Pearls.” Ralph remains passionate about film and is a member of the Directors Guild of America (DGA) to this day.
Ralph received a BA in Sociology from SUNY at Stonybrook and was most recently a member of QVC’s Vendor Advisory Board. Along with Honora’s CEO, Joel Schechter, Ralph travels regularly to China to buy from the world’s largest pearl farmers. He also works closely with Senior Merchandise Manager Larry Lippert to help develop the colorful pearl palette that helps set Honora apart from the rest of the pearl world.
His love of Freshwater Pearls as well as his passion for Honora’s unique and colorful approach to jewelry is evident to anyone who has come to know Ralph over the past decade on QVC UK or, more recently, as our second host on QVC in the United States. In between his rigorous travel schedule between the US, UK and China, Ralph spends time at his home in Hoboken, NJ with his son Jason.
