Jill Zarin on Daytime!

Jill Zarin from "The Real Housewives of New York"

February 13, 2012

The reality star stops by to tell us what's new with her.

Catching Up & Sucking It In With Jill Zarin!

As all of New York is a-flutter with the beginning of New York Fashion Week, one of the original New York "housewives," Jill Zarin, is all a-flutter in St. Petersburg, Florida. Yes, St. Petersburg! This is not a typo.
St. Pete is the home of e-tail shopping giant HSN, where everyone who's anyone seems to make an appearance these days. I also worked on air there early in my career, so I understand the frenzy of going on air there for the first time. I loved it, but it's live and it's hectic even for a seasoned TV personality like Jill. Nevertheless, she seemed calm and excited about this new chapter in her life and her brand.
Don't think Ms. Zarin is sitting in her apartment watching the world go by, as if any of us really thought that was an option. No, she is taking her over 25 years of retail experience and parlaying it into her new venture, a shape wear line called Skweez Couture. An unexpected, yet rather savvy move considering it's a fairly wide open market ripe for a little competition. And according to Jill, she's got better price points.
Skweez Couture is available in some major retailers like Lord & Taylor, Macy's, online and now HSN. Jill told me she feels that in order for women to be confident and feel good about themselves they need to start with a good foundation. And we all know a good foundation starts with sucking in the fat!! Yay, Jill! The prices range from $20-$75 in sizes from small through 2XL, which covers everyone across the U.S. I told her my biggest gripe about the shape wear on the market today was that there were those telltale bulge marks that look awful and sometimes, make you look even fatter. Hello, muffin top where there was none?? I was assured by her that this was not the case with Skweez Couture because they were cut differently and the focus was more on the stomach and not on the bands. Whew, I can skip Pilates today!
But, we are not stopping at sucking in the tummy. She has a jewelry line coming this summer, too. Bright, chunky rings and more stylish baubles are on the horizon so keep your eyes and ears peeled. From what I saw, they look like a perfect fit for more visits to HSN, but hey, what do I know?
At the end of the day, it all seems to be about giving her audience products that are high quality and glam but at "everyday woman" pricing and availability. I'm going to give those cute boy shorts a go next time I'm on air and I'll let you know.
Tune in February 10 to catch Jill Zarin's debut on HSN. Visit www.hsn.com for show times!
Mazel Tov, Jill. And remember your features and benefits.

“Real Housewife” Jill Zarin to Bow Her Own Jewelry Line

January 9, 2012 by Jeff Prine 

Jill Zarin and her husband Bobby own Zarin Fabrics

New York—She may have been fired last fall from her hit reality TV series, “The Real Housewives of New York,” but Jill Zarin isn’t letting that hinder getting her name out to fans.
Last summer Zarin teamed up with Triad Hosiery to create her own shapewear collection, Skweez by Jill Zarin. Now she’s planning her own jewelry collection which will launch in a micro form in February at www.jillzarinjewelry.com . A full fashion jewelry collection, which will retail between $28 to $110, is slated to launch this fall in department stores.
“My jewelry and accessories have definitely been a topic of conversation over the years and I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces with everyone at affordable prices,” says Zarin. “I like my rings bold and colorful. They should be something someone notices and become a topic of conversation. Jewelry can often be a way for people to connect.”
Zarin: “Disappointed” about Her Dismissal from “RHoNY”

Rose gold plate and CZ ring, suggested retail: $100

Many fans were surprised when Bravo TV announced that Zarin and several other of New York “real housewives” wouldn’t be returning to the show. Zarin recently told the Hollywood Reporter that she was “disappointed” in Bravo’s decision.
“The show made women in their 40s and 50s relevant again. Hollywood is all about young girls, and this was an opportunity that didn’t require us to be young and beautiful. It’s real women,” Zarin said. “But I won’t miss the lying and the fighting. And I won’t miss the stress over clothes. I had to have 80 outfits for the season, and I would totally stress over that.”
Her jewelry collection is being produced under a license with Glitterings, a fashion jewelry supplier that specializes in rings.
According to  Karen Webster and Joyce Tsao, Glitterings’ co-founders,  they knew they wanted to work with Zarin after their first encounter. Zarin had worn one of the Carolina Amato necklaces Glitterings produces during her appearance on a “RHoNY” reunion special on Bravo TV. From the reaction, “it was crystal clear to me that she was a bright start with a distinct fashion point of view and an amazing talent for accessorizing with jewelry, which when combined with her keen business instincts made the idea of creating a signature jewelry line for her—without question—a smart one,” says Webster.

14kt gold light antique plating with red stone, retail: $48

Zarin is only the lastest reality star from the “Real Housewives” franchise to launch her own jewelry collection. Ramona Singer, another “RHoNY” who remains on the show, has her own jewelry collection. As does another ex-RHoNY Kim Bensimon, and Teresa Giudice of “Real Housewives of New Jersey.”
And there’s more: Kim Zolciak of “Real Housewives of Atlanta” has a jewelry collection along with former “real housewives” Danielle Staub of “New Jersey,” Lynne Curtin of “Orange County” and Lisa Wu Hartwell of “Atlanta.”

14K satin gold plating with brown stone, retail: $78

Jill Zarin Launches Jewelry Line, Denies Feud With Bethenny Frankel

Jan 16, 2012 by JENNY SCHAFER

Jill Zarin's departure from The Real Housewives of New York has not slowed her down one bit! From rumors of a new reality TV series, to a creating successful shapewear products, to launching a new jewelry line, Jill is one celebrity entrepreneur to watch for!
The mom-of-one opens up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her jewelry launch with a micro collection on February 1 just in time for Valentine's Day. Jill also talks about her "forced" departure from Real Housewives of New York and denies a feud with fellow celeb mom Bethenny Frankel, even stating that they're moving forward with a friendship. Read on about Jill becoming GLITTERRINGS' first celebrity designer, and more...
CBS: Tell us all about your new jewelry collection.

JZ: "I've always loved jewelry and I have a lot of it. People always asked me when I was on Housewives where I get it. I wore a necklace at the reunion that I borrowed from a company. Afterwards some of my fans asked me about the jewelry and where to buy it and then we started talking about doing a line together. They're an amazing company and a great partner. I have so many ideas of what the line should be. We're putting out a micro line for February 1. Some rings and bracelets. And I'm really focussing my attention on the line of about 70-90 pieces and will sell in the department stores. We already have one major retalier.
I also have a shapewear line called Skweez Couture that's being sold in department stores and is doing really well. I'll also be selling that on HSN on February 10 for three hours. It's a moderate-priced brand. My brand stands for value. It is solution-based because I'm a real person and I see problems with everything and I like to complain [laughs]. I try to find solutions to everything I find in my closet."
CBS: Where do you find inspiration for your jewelry designs?

JZ: "Everywhere! For the first collection, I drew inspiration from Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry. My husband is so incredibly supportive in everything I do and when Elizabeth was selling her jewelry, I bought all the catalogues and went and saw it. My husband wanted to buy me a piece to inspire me. It's a gigantic blue stone, around 50 carats surrounded by diamonds, 18 carats, designed by a famous Italian designer. It's got two dolphins on it and it reminds me of my daughters blue eyes. I always go for blue - there will always be something blue in my collection. So I'm going to use this as a base and kick it off from there.
We're heading out on a cruise and we're going to Guatamala, Belize, Mexico, so I'll find inspiration there as well. Any excuse to go shopping - it doesn't take much! Anything can inspire me. With the Elizabeth Taylor collection, it wasn't necessarily her jewelry, it was her clothing. She has the most incredible hand-beaded pieces. So it doesn't have to be exactly a piece of jewelry. It could be looking at a church and just visualizes an architectural type of necklace. You never know!
I have a basics collection and I've designed a ring with a heart and it looks like a $5,000 ring and I'm selling it for $110. I'm wearing it right now and I'm looking at it and it's rose gold, and it's gorgeous! I'm traveling right now and I don't like to wear my real jewelry. You have no idea how much stuff I've lost in my life. You have no idea! My husband is so happy I'm doing this jewelry line since I lose everything. It's not just losing it, I've had things stolen. My stuff has been taken away from me one way or another, so it's win-win. I think with jewelry prices and diamond prices at an all-time high, there's no reason that women are going to pay an arm and a leg...literally!"
CBS: Do you miss being on Real Housewives of New York?

JZ: "Not really. I did it for four years I have to say. Allyson [my daughter] did her entire high school on the show, so there are things about it that I miss. But even if I was on it now, those things wouldn't be there. It's just the timing and the place, and without Kelly [Bensimon]....we were just such a great team. We had a lot of fun together. I always look forward and I never look back. It was sort of like in high school, they force you to you graduate even if you don't want to leave. I was forced to graduate, and it turned out to be a blessing."
CBS: Is there still a feud between you and former RHONY costar Bethenny Frankel?

JZ: "There's no feud. Absolutely no feud. None whatsoever."
CSB: Are you moving forward with a friendship with Bethenny?

JZ: "Absolutely!"
CBS: Tell us about your daughter Allyson.
JZ: "Allyson is 19. She's in college down in Nashville. I don't know what she's taking right now, she keeps changing. Last semester she did a lot of religious studies. This term she's doing more social-type of classes. She's really exploring herself and just trying to figure out what she wants to do. She's very lucky that she's got those options! We spent 4 weeks together over Christmas break and she's going to come home during the Jewish holidays in April and then she's home the end of April."
CBS: Do you have any Valentine's Day plans with your husband Bobby?
JZ: "Yes, I'll be on HSN! I'll probably be at home in bed after selling for 3 hours on television [laughs]! But seriously, of course I make a big deal about Valentine's. We go to a nice restaurant and some years we take a trip with friends. Every year it's different. The flame isn't always burning hot. It goes up and down as all marriages and relationships do. But I think Bobby and I have great chemistry and we know each other very well. Bobby taught me - because he's a little bit older and wiser than me - that relationships are like a book. You have short chapters and long chapters, fast chapters and slow chapters. You just have to be patient and get to the next chapter. You know, don't throw out the book with the bathwater, so to speak. Not that I'm naming any recently divorced names, but you have to at least try and give it your best shot."
