Hollywood was all the buzz about Silpada Jewelry at the Kari Feinstein’s 2011 Emmys Style Lounge, the highest sought after pre-event celebrity gifting suite.  This pre-Emmys event is possibly as anticipate as the Emmys themselves, as the stars are well-versed on where to get the best swag.  On September 15th -16th at The Mondrian Hotel, West Hollywood, CA, Emmy nominated actors, TV  hosts and personalities, and reality stars came out to hand select their favorite Silpada jewelry.  From bangles to bracelets to earrings and necklaces, stars were eager to scoop up what caught their eye.

A large showing of actors came to get their Silpada at the Emmys Style Lounge.  Constance  Zimmer (“Entourage”) caught up with Cheryl Hines  (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”) while snatching up her Silpada.  Constance, with her larger than life personality, joked about getting some jewelry with cubic zirconia in it – or “CZs” just like her initials!  She selected a multi-strand sterling silver and cubic zirconia chain necklace (N2302).  She said:  “This necklace has a little bit of me in it – CZ!  I like the leather mixed with it.  You can wear it with a t-shirt!”  Cheryl Hines loved Silpada’s pink and bamboo multi-strand seed bead necklace (N2243), saying, “I’m committed to accessorizing this fall! I really love this necklace!”  Here is Jerry Ferrara  (“Entourage”) picking and choosing his favorite pieces.   Although Silpada reps beg to differ, Jerry called himself “stylistically challenged.”  Challenged or not, he managed to find a beautiful piece for his girlfriend.  He chose a turquoise statement ring (R2017).  He went on to say:  “I’m stylistically challenged, but I can see my girlfriend wearing a LOT of this!”  AJ Buckley  (“CSI: New York”) came to the event with an armful of bracelets already on his wrist, but that did not stop him from getting Silpada’s braided leather and sterling silver bracelet (B2274).  He said he plans to wear his Silpada bracelet on “CSI,” saying “I wear all my own bracelets on ‘CSI’ and this is a great addition!”

“Extra!” Co-hosts Renee Bargh and Maria Menounos made a visit to Silpada’s gifting lounge.  Bargh immediately fell in love with the Silpada jewelry calling it her “new obsession!”  This ring-obsessed beauty selected two rings – a sterling silver and turquoise ring (R2017) and a sterling silver and brass mixed metal ring (R2293).  Loving what she picked out, she said,  “This is very much my style.  I love the combination of the gold and silver.”  Menounos walked away with several items from Silpada’s new line for her jewelry box.  Among her favorites were a turquoise statement ring (R2017) and a coordinating pair of sterling silver and turquoise earrings (W2132).  Maria, a long-time fan of the jewelry, said: “I had to stop by and say ‘hi’ because Silpada is always so good to me!”

A great showing of reality stars came to the Style Lounge.  Camille Grammer (“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”) was absolutely stunning when she visited the Silpada Style Lounge and was really drawn to our bracelets.   She chose Silpada’s sterling silver, cubic zirconia and hematite stretch bracelet (B2312).  She raved about Silpada: “Isn’t that stunning!  It is awesome – I love this!”  Lynne Curtin (“Real Housewives of OC”),  picking up Silpada’s pink and bamboo multi-strand seed bead necklace (N2243), stated:  “This goes really well with the outfit I’m wearing.”  Chelsie Hightower (“Dancing with the Stars”) immediately danced her way into our hearts at the Silpada Style Suite.   In fact, she accidentally lost one of her earrings earlier in the day.  Luckily she was in the right place for a replacement!  She selected Silpada’s sterling silver and turquoise earrings (W2132) to complete her lost-earring look!

Here are a couple of “Bachelor Pad” beauties styling their favorite Silpada pieces.  Vienna Girardi loved the variety and versatility of Silpada’s jewelry.  She selected Silpada’s floral etched sterling silver earrings (W2378).  Loving the pieces, she said:  “These are exactly what I needed to complete my outfit today!”  New mommy, Melissa Rycroft, stopped by the Silpada Style Suite with her husband.  Once she started shopping she couldn’t be pulled away, trying on Silpada’s statement rings and cuff bracelets.  She regularly asked her hubby, “What do you think, baby?”  Ultimately, Melissa chose Silpada’s sterling silver and multi-bead necklace (N2340) that layered perfectly with her existing jewels.  Giving her husband a lesson in what she likes, she said:  ”This is beautiful stuff! You need to know what I like!”
