Stefanie Somers Jewelry Collection Takes Manhattan

After more than a decade of jeweling the American pageant royalty, Stefanie Somers, jeweler to the Miss USA stars, is bringing her legendary design aesthetic to a diffusion line debuting during Accessory Week 2013 in NYC.

ACCESSORIES the SHOW at the Jacob Javits Convention Center will be the venue for the launch, attended by thousands of store buyers from around the world. From Sunday January 6th through Tuesday January 8th, Stefanie will be showing two new jewelry lines: The Stefanie Somers Collection, featuring earring designs based upon her couture designs, many of which have been seen at the Miss USA and Miss America pageants, and *trifles by stefanie somers, a more casual grouping that runs the gamut from office wear to cocktail.

"Every woman loves the opportunity to dress up and truly sparkle. The designs in my new collections offer pieces for every need: a professional office look, a dinner date, a fantasy wedding or a turn on the red carpet. Nothing lights up the face like crystal, and my earrings are designed to accent and flatter, to draw the light to the face. They're made to make you shine."

Pageant Talk Radio host Valerie Hayes adds, "For many years, no serious competitor would even think of stepping onto a stage without a little Stefanie Somers bling to complete her competition look. Bringing this fabulous jewelry to the rest of us is long overdue, and will no doubt bring out the everyday beauty queen in women everywhere!"

Both collections are made in the USA, and are crafted exclusively with Swarovski Elements.

The new Stefanie Somers Collection retails from $150 to $500; *trifles by stefanie somers ranges from $50 to $150. Both lines can be found in finer boutiques and specialty stores throughout the USA.
