Jenniefer Kirk, of Cranston, was scheduled to appear last night on a live television broadcast on QVC, the shopping network, from her estate in Edgewood and showcase her line of jewelry.
QVC set up a remote studio for the three-hour broadcast at Kirk’s private Seaview residence, a waterfront Victorian home built in 1890 and located on Narragansett Bay.
Kirk is a designer of a fantasy-inspired Kirks Folly line of jewelry. The company is a family-owned business run by Kirk and her siblings, Elizabeth, Helen and George.
The QVC broadcast planned to feature new jewelry designs and home decor accents inspired by the estate. The accessories have themes such as mermaids, fairies, stars and prisms.
QVC’s Patti Reilly, a native of Rhode Island, was scheduled to host the show. QVC Inc., based in West Chester, Pa., is a $6.5-billion company and a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corp.
