The late star’s daughter takes a poignant last look at her favourite pieces from the Private Collection of Joan Rivers.
‘One of my mother’s dreams,’ smiles Melissa Rivers, ‘was to be left alone in a Christie’s warehouse with a satchel and nobody supervising her.’ As the only child of celebrated comedian, writer and television host Joan Rivers, Melissa admits she had ‘very, very difficult decisions to make’ when it came to parting with pieces that hold so many cherished memories.

I miss Joan Rivers. She taught us that if you can laugh at the bad things that happen in life, the bad things will never win. Rest peacefully, reunited with the souls that you love.

@LS-dp2gs 4 месяца назад

Us? My mom taught me that.

Melissa has her mothers beautiful face; watching her brings back such fond memories over the years watching Joan.

Horrible entitled nasty spoiled brat . I always felt so bad this was all Joan ever had.

@christophermyers3758 Год назад

I'm grateful for having the pleasure of meeting Joan years ago, at Spago in West Hollywood, after my pizza dinner! She was so nice and gracious in person, she really looked at me in the eyes, as I spoke to her, and I'll never forget it. 🤗 I still miss her sense of humor and style! 😢

@trixVK 4 месяца назад

I remember watching Joan on QVC and every time she spoke with a caller she would have them leave their information so she could send them a companion piece of jewelry to the piece they had just ordered. She was so gracious for being such a "tough old broad". I truly admired her. RIP Joan 💖

@JB-sx3te 3 года назад

I loved her and her sense of humor. She had impeccable taste. Love her apartment and decor so elegant and classy. RIP. ♥️

@ewat4753 5 лет назад

No one! No one had such exquisite taste in jewelry like Ms. Rivers. Her personal style was beyond. What a treasure.

She's so right about letting go and let someone else enjoy the collection .

Melissa , sorry for your loss . Your mother was dearly loved by so many . She will surely be missed as well as remembered . God bless you for carrying out your mother's wishes , I know she's smiling down on you and very proud . May God continue to watch over you as I know he's allowing your mother to do . P.S. I see your mother in you .

@Diana-dd4dt 6 лет назад

That apartment of hers is just breathtakingly gorgeous! All that detail and all the thought she put behind everything shows us how truly talented this woman was when it came to beauty and design. I still miss her everyday. I grew up watching her and, although I'm 19, I still admire her to this day and look at her as an example for what I strive to become in this life of mine. Joan, you are so, so missed!

@jayniekinser7259 Год назад

You are 19. Wow. I was probably 19 when she was first becoming famous.

@sharongill9837 4 года назад

Why buy stuff in the first place and then call it trash later??

@grod805 4 года назад

@@sharongill9837 because everyone should live their own lives and own what they want. It's not fair to make your kids feel guilty over not keeping all your stuff. My grandmother died 14 years ago. My cousin kept her old car that he has just parked in his driveway since then. It's all rusted now and doesn't work. What good does that make?

@joeanonymous1834 4 года назад

Yes, particularly if one needs the money. Please. In a strong field, self deception is one of the ugliest human traits. I lost my wife about a year ago and I just had her extravagant jewelry collection appraised. If money were no object, I would keep everything. Of course it "should be enjoyed." I'm a masculine man and keeping it, for me, would be like vicariously visiting my wonderful wife in some small way every time I opened the jewelry boxes. I will keep some, including a couple of the most valuable pieces. However, being in my fifties and not being "set for life," I simply can't justify the luxury of keeping everything. What a better life it would be if we were all capable of just being honest.

This was tastefully done. There's a great line from a song written by Louis Marshall Jones - "For when you leave this earth for a better home someday, The only think you'll take is what you gave away." And Joan gave a LOT. She was an amazingly generous person. (Jones was better known as 'Grandpa Jones'.)

It still upsets me to this day, what a senseless death. Joan Rivers lives on forever in her jokes, her memories and through video, luckily.

@jv-ep2tc Год назад

We must always question any procedure that a doctor recommends. Always know what the risk is. Always know everything about anybody that touches you in a medical office: where they went to school, have there ever been any complaints, filed against them, etc. etc. people people do your research. Much of so-called modern medicine is very dangerous and the patient’s well-being comes last.

@Shazzadut1 5 лет назад

I think I read that Joan told Melissa to keep what she wanted and then sell the rest, which is what she is doing. I miss Joan. I miss Fashion Police with Joan. She was so sharp. She death was avoidable. Okay she was in her 80’s but she was sharp, still working hard, independent and feisty. She had fabulous taste. I saw a photo of her Thanksgiving table. Melissa was right. It was heavily laden with beautiful china and glassware and flowers. A gracious hostess of a bygone era.

When Joan Rivers was demonstrating her jewelry on television her voice sounded like my mother's voice. My mother was from England but her voice was the same. I had watched Joan Rivers when she had an afternoon show and I particularly loved her jewelry back then. What a terrible blow when I clicked on the computer one morning and there was the news. She was gone. It was so ridiculous. I had just bought a CD and watched her show and she was so vital and strong and giving away plants to the audience as only she would. I really do miss her because she would have been with us for a very long time. Gone too soon. Too soon.
