Los Angeles, CA—Hearts On Fire was a premier sponsor of the annual ELLE magazine Women in Television celebratory dinner for the second straight year. Hearts On Fire diamonds were both used to create the centerpieces throughout the dinner, and worn by numerous women attending the event.
The dinner, hosted by ELLE editor-in-chief Roberta (Robbie) Myers, featured more than 100 of the television industry’s top talent and industry executives. Women wearing Hearts On Fire diamond jewelry included stars from several hit shows, including Mindy Kaling (The Mindy Project), Emma Roberts (left; American Horror Story), Malin Ackerman (Trophy Wife), Sarah Rafferty (Suits), Maria Menounos (Extra), Constance Zimmer (House of Cards), and Sadie Calvano (Mom). Additionally, Meyers and actress Tracee Ellis Ross also sparkled in Hearts On Fire diamond jewelry.
A highlight of the event was the more than 15 million dollars’ worth of Hearts On Fire diamond jewelry decorating the centerpieces throughout the dinner tables, where stars and others were able to touch and try on the designs.
