EMERALDS are a girl's best friend. . .

Um, shouldn't that be diamonds? Normally, yes, but we've got emeralds on the brain at robertachiarella.com, thanks to our favorite star, Angelina. Take a look at Us Weekly- they used our mini Angie Earrings in the 'trend watch' and I couldn't be more proud. These beauties deserve all the praise they can get, perfect size, not too heavy, super-best quality Swarovski elements, what more can a girl want?

Of course we've got them in a slightly larger size, the Angie Earrings which are now available at a super special price at our site, robertachiarella.com thanks to our PROMO CODE. These are a customer favorite for their brilliant emerald green color and the quality of the stones. Here in Manhattan our workshop has boxes and boxes waiting for shipment, we're working today (Saturday) to get the deliveries out as quickly as possible so you can enjoy them right away.

I love emeralds because they're my birth stone. Maybe it's just another marketing ploy but the concept of birth stone endures, perhaps to guide out-of-town relatives when they want to send you a gift. Throughout history they are prized for their beauty and their medicinal purposes. Aristotle believed “An emerald hung from the neck or worn in a ring will prevent the falling sickness (epilepsy)". Ancient Egyptians believed the emerald stood for fertility and rebirth, and in Rome, the Emperor Nero supposedly watched gladiator fights through a large transparent emerald as he found the color to be calming. Maybe it was calming to him, but I am excited when I get a chance to put on emerald jewelry as it usually means we're going out somewhere special! The Angie earrings hang just right and sparkle beautifully in even low light.

If you can't get enough, don't forget we have an emerald ring, conveniently called Angie's Ring, that is also available at a nice discount with our promo code. This ring, and many others are in stock and ready to ship. We'll be shipping and shipping (always free shipping when you spend $75 or more) because we've got extra help in the studio thanks to the popularity of the Golden Globe Collection. We were honored, once again, to show our jewelry on TV as part of the 'Golden Globe looks for less' segment on the Today Show. You've got to have the Starlight Clip, seen here (our version) on the Red Carpet! Have a look and choose a few for yourself or a friend. Quality, affordable jewelry is always in style. Ciao!

Welcome 2012 (and Thank You 2011)

2012, 2012, 2012.  I have to teach myself to stop using our old friend 2011 and embrace our new year. First, a big thank you to 2011, you were good to us. It was a great jewelry year with so many hot trends and some successful products made even better by great press in magazines and on TV. Our customers are savvy and made a couple of items best sellers and some even sold out.

I hope to bring you more in 2012, we've got some great designs in the pipeline and spring is just around the corner. But why wait- this is the time of year to take advantage of sales and specials!

At robertachiarella.com we have our ever-popular winter sale going on where everything (yes, everything) has a lower price. Just enter the promo code and enjoy some new earrings or a necklace!



Sometimes jewelry design is the best job in the world, I've enjoyed the holiday break doing research in order to bring you the best new trends.

 To do this I have seen every new movie to check out the fashions, read a few dozen magazines and scoured the internet for celebrity stories and photos. I checked out aunt Lorraine's antique jewelry and made notes of every stunning outfit worn by family and friends at holiday gatherings. Tough work, but somebody's got to do it!

My friend Binty asked me the other day how do I name all of our jewelry? Well, the items shown in this post are named for people who are near and dear to my heart. I cherish my friends and family and love to put a familiar name on a nice ring or necklace, it makes me smile every time we ship one out. I've also named some pieces for folks who send in a story or a picture, feel free to send me something for our gallery!

Mi Prima- My Cousin

Now let's get 2012 off to a great start, work hard, enjoy your family and friends and give thanks for all of your blessings. Ciao!
