ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Serena Williams can add another victory to her impressive list of accomplishments with the highly successful launch of Serena Williams Signature Statement, her new collection of fashion, accessories and jewelry on HSN and www.hsn.com. HSN viewers responded quickly to the stylish original designs with 25,000 pieces selling out after just 3 hours of air time during HSN's primetime debut (Thursday-Saturday morning) April 30 - May 2.

Serena Williams Signature Statement is a complete accessories collection including handbags, jewelry and apparel that ranges from $16.50 for the Signature Statement Rings of Bling Drop Earrings up to $99.95 for the Signature Statement Flowing Floral Reversible Maxi Dress.

Additionally, nearly every handbag and fashion jewelry piece was spoken for by the end of her last show on Saturday morning.

"I love to make a statement both on and off the court. Passion, drive and hard work have taken me down this and many other creative paths throughout my life," said Serena.
