[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone remembers Jewels series by Danielle Steele, I am not a fan of her stories by default but
this was on TV at some point when I was "tinny" and remember it was mesmerizing. fairy tale..

If the Netflix or Amazon would bring it, I would watch it.

Here is very boring and unjust trailer that does not come close to the charm of the series:

Sarah Thompson, an American visiting England, meets and marries William Whitfield, the Duke of Whitfield. They settle in a chateau in France and begin a family. World War II interrupts their happiness and alters their future. After the war, the family helps war survivors by buying their jewelry and eventually opens a jewelry store, which rapidly becomes a success. But conflicts abound as new generations arise and forces from both outside and within threaten the store and the family.[/quote]
