On Monday, May 16th, ZenJen and her team of gemstone enthusiasts were invited to take part in an exciting event: the cast members of season 3 of Bravo TV’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey hosted a fundraising event at The Brownstone in Paterson, NJ, where fans of the show could mingle and watch the 90-minute season premier with the housewives and their families. There were over 600 people in attendance that night, and everyone looked absolutely fabulous!
ZenJen set up her table of gemstones, and offered those in attendance the opportunity to view and purchase brand new RHONJ-inspired items, soon to be released on the zen jewelz website.

The evening began with an introduction from the Housewives, giving a little bit of juicy insight as to what is to come on season three (but don’t worry, we didn’t get any spoilers!) Below pictured (from left to right) are Victoria Wakile, Kathy Wakile, Melissa Gorga, Caroline Manzo, Jacqueline Laurita and her daughter Ashley.
To keep the crowd entertained during commercials, there were prizes and giveaways awarded to the most enthusiastic RHONJ fans. ZenJen donated one of her brand new Goddess Bracelets as a prize for one of the lucky aficionados.
After the show, the guests were in for another surprise! Real Housewives of New York City cast members Simon van Kempen and Alex McCord made an appearance, and Simon even performed his new single “I Am Real.”
ZenJen presented Alex with one of her brand new Goddess Bracelets- Alex was thrilled!
We took hundreds of pictures that night, but we highlighted a few of our favorites to share with you!

That night, ZenJen introduced a line of zen jewelz bracelets inspired by cast members of season 3 of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. These bracelets will soon be available on the zen jewelz website, but until then, you’ll have to stop by our Pompton Lakes store to get a sneak peak!




Zen Jen,
I wrote to Jen with a story regarding my son that is special needs and is sick and has to be in a hospital out of state. She was so kind to find a bracelet that would give me the benefits I needed after I saw her on the Real Housewives of New Jersey, I am a huge fan of those Ladies and wanted the same serenity that Jen’s beautiful bracelets they had.
Thanks,
Jen and RHONJ
