You guys crack me up. I like Jane Seymour all right, but I have to admit that the commercial is cringeworthy. It’s like the Thomas Kinkaide of jewelry! Can you just picture her hollering to her kids: “Hey, kids! It’s Kay Jewelers!! Can you crayon another picture for me?” ---

At least this thread has answered one question for me…I’ve seen that commercial several times (and thought it was one of the most stupid ones airing) but couldn’t figure out who the “celebrity” designer was. Which I suppose says something about either her fame or my cluelessness. ---

> [@vd](#): > > I like how she’s already made this design and they’re already producing the necklace, which she’s wearing, but she’s still in her studio painting the damn thing over and over and over again. Haaa! That is funny as hell. She is a loon. Fuck diamonds, and that glurgy design she picked out to peddle them. ---

> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > Still, not as stupid as “Every Kiss Begins With Kay”. Really? Now, I admit that I throw up a little in mouth every time Jane’s “jems” come on screen. But I find the “Every Kiss Begins with K” to be a fairly clever tagline for a jewelry store. A similar thing with “Love Rocks”. (Which word is the noun? Which is the verb?) ---

The jewelry design _is_ ugly, no doubt about it. But the worst part of the commercial is when she says she ‘worked with’ Kay Jewelers because ‘as the number one jewelry store in America, they’ve brought more hearts together than just about anyone.’ Yeah, because it’s not your feelings for your spouse, or your public declaration of commitment that matters – it’s _the ring_ that brought you together. You’re not _really_ married without that big, overpriced, diamond on your finger. Somebody should have told my grandparents that – they got married in 1926 and Grandma didn’t even have a wedding band, let alone an engagment ring. Of course, their marriage was doomed – it only lasted 53 years. ---

> [@PunditLisa](#): > > It’s like the Thomas Kinkaide of jewelry! Ugh, you’re right. I’ll bet the conjoined asses sell great in that new Thomas Kinkade housing development. Come to think of it, I’m glad this jewelry is out there. It serves as a useful warning to the rest of us–“Do not befriend this person. She will send you glurgey email and make you look at her Precious Moments figurines.” ---

Can we also pit the ultra-soft-focus, pastel colored, over-exposed film style in the commercial? 'Cause that offends me almost as much as that stupid necklace does. ---

It’s the same “style” they always use when they’re trying to disguise the fact that some actress has gotten a little long in the tooth. ---
