and now, ladies and gentlemen, Roberta's Jewelry on 'The Today Show'

Whew! It's been an 'emmylicious' week, and today we were on the today show. Jill Martin produces the Emmy Look For Less segment, and I got the call this year. As in years past, they find up-and-coming designers to rush the stars great looks to market ASAP after the Emmys, and I got to use my jewelry on the models to accentuate the elegant red carpet looks.

It was so exciting, to work with the staff, the models, messengers running back and forth with the material, travelling from our upper east side studio to the NBC studio where this segment was shot. The Today Show takes up all kinds of space in Manhattan, from the street level studio facing Rockefeller Center Plaza to other newsrooms and studio space throughout 30 Rock and some of the other buildings. It was hot as blazes the last few days, I felt bad for the hair stylist but the jewelry was a hit! See robertachiarella.com for all the pieces used on the show.

You can also see Tatiana's Favorite CZ ring, which was featured in Glamour's latest issue. We were pleasantly surprised to find it's one of their most visited links, meaning lots and lots of Glamour readers frequent our site. It's so amazing, we had to offer a promotion, so make sure you're on the email list so you can get weekly notices, with promo codes good for discounts.

Tomorrow is the start of the Labor Day Weekend for us, taking orders but not really 'working', then going for some barbecue and the US Tennis Open in Flushing Meadows to see some celebrities in the crowd,or, er, tennis. Both are nice to see, and you can only go once a year. Have a great holiday weekend. Ciao!
