Jewel & Jewel

Dellanos is one of the most recognizable faces on Spanish-language television. An Emmy Award-winning journalist, she was co-host for 13 years of the popular television news program “Primer Impacto” on Univision.

“People en Espanol” named Dellanos its first “Estrella del Ano” (star of the year) in 2004. And this year, she and her daughter grace the pages of the magazine’s “Los 50 mas bello” (most beautiful people) issue.

Dellanos’ private life also has grabbed headlines - most notably her engagement to Mexican singing superstar Luis Miguel in 2004. (The engagement was later called off).

Now, it’s her creative side that’s making news. Dellanos is launching a jewelry line that bears her name.

The line was a chance for Dellanos to combine her business savvy with her love for jewelry design.

“Ever since I was in high school, I loved to design,” said Dellanos from her home in Miami. When she was on “Primer Impacto,” “I often drew jewelry pieces, and the women seemed to like them. I never thought it would be a business for me.”

Dellanos, 42, says jewelry, like a woman, should be multifaceted.

“We have different feelings every day,” she says. “Who wants to be sexy every day? You want to look professional for work. You want something that translates to evening when you’re out with your husband to a show or dinner.” You want pieces that are different and can work with your different moods and looks.”

The Myrka Dellanos jewelry collection includes necklaces, earrings, bracelets, watches and rings crafted in gold and silver tones decorated with bold colorful stones, beads and Swarovski crystals. The collection ranges in price from $39 to $119.
