JIC'S ANNUAL GEM GALA AWARDS IN NYC

I wore this Bella Luce bracelet on January 11, 2008 when Public Relations Representative Kelly Fletcher and I, as JTV's Jewelry Trend Tracker (TM), joined over 600 industry leaders and professionals who attended the (JIC) Jewelry Information Center's sixth Annual Gem Gala Awards. The event was held at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The atmosphere was incredible! The decor, service and meal was everything Cipriani is known for. This year's honorees included Bulgari for Corporate Communications, Excellence in Marketing; Terry Burman, Sterling Jewelers Inc. for Lifetime Achievement; and Roberta Naas for Excellence in Jewelry and Watch Writing.

Hall of Fame football star Dan Marino introduced and presented Bulgari's award as he has had a long-standing relationship with the luxury brand. I got to text message my friends at home so they could brag to their husbands that I knew Dan was on crutches and had recently undergone knee surgery. My first job in the jewelry industry, in 1993, was as a sales associate in a Sterling Jeweler's store, so I was glad to hear Terry Burman's story when he received his award. I have been in love with jewelry and gemstones since that time and am now proud to represent Jewelry Television and jtvstyle.com. Kelly and I had the pleasure of talking with the well known and beautiful Mistress of Ceremonies - Deborah Norville. Deborah Norville, anchor of Inside Edition and author of several books, hosted the evening and has had the pleasure of hosting for six consecutive years. Deborah showed off the Bulgari jewelry she was wearing for the evening.

Deborah shared a story about the jewels she wore for another event. Norville explained that most jewelry celebrities wear is on loan and needs to be returned after the event.
One particular evening, Deborah was donned with an extravagantly beautiful diamond ensemble. She laughed and told us the security guard that came with the jewelry was quite attractive as well. She said he actually had to wait outside the powder room when she would freshen up and then check her neck, wrist, fingers and ears to make sure the expensive diamond pieces were all intact! While we chatted, I somehow mentioned that I have been struggling with whether to cut my hair. For the record, Deborah voted "no". It was fun to "gab" with a celebrity. Deborah Norville is obviously accomplished, intelligent and beautiful, however, she took time to speak with us and was as welcoming as a neighbor. BIG kudos to Deborah!! Beautiful on the" inside" and out. Inside Edition! Get it? Sorry, that's as good as my puns get.

Just think, with JTV's great values you can actually wear and KEEP items that look much like the pieces the movie stars wear. Check out our Bella Luce collection. It looks like diamonds, feels like diamonds, but you won't need a security guard or a movie star's budget to buy and wear Bella Luce. It's VERY affordable! Most pieces are under $50.

Even the "Rach" wears our jewelry. For the record, I cook regularly with E.V.O.O. (If you are saying "Huh?" right now, I am referring to The Rachael Ray Show and Extra Virgin Olive Oil.)

We asked a group of our media friends to join us for the gala. You will see Jewelry Television's items in many magazines and on television personalities. We took a limo (yeah!), from the gala to the famous Saint Regis Hotel. Here is a photo of our group socializing, just like many movie stars and authors before us, in the beautiful and renown Saint Regis.
